Characteristics—The number of people who "cannot take cod-liver oil" is very great; which

• ▸means that O/.
• ▸7.
• ▸a.
• ▸is a pathogenetic as well as a curative agent.
• ▸Neidhard proved it and elicited

some very definite symptoms, and to these have been added effects, curative and pathogenetic,

observed on patients. The oil contains a large number of proximate principles of great

complexity, to which its specific medicinal properties are due. Recent developments of

• ▸sarcopathy mark out OI.
• ▸j.
• ▸a.
• ▸as a liver remedy, an ally of Cholesterine, and this the provings

confirm. Very decided pains in the liver and liver region with great soreness were noted in

Neidhard's provings, and these symptoms give one of the keynotes of the remedy—Soreness. Not

only the liver, but the throat, chest, abdomen, kidneys, ovaries, joints, and back are all sore; the

spine is sore as in spinal irritation. Another keynote is the occurrence of palpitation of the heart

as a concomitant of other symptoms; with cough; with short breath. Allied to this is a "sense of

fluttering, like the movements of a watch, commencing in region of sacrum, gradually rising to

occiput, and in its ascent affecting abdomen and chest, so that the patient is transfixed, unable to

move hand or foot;" also "creeping sensation all over with a rush of blood to heart." The

• ▸reputation of O/.
• ▸7.
• ▸a.
• ▸as a remedy for phthisis and scrofulous affections is shown by the provings

to be specific, whatever food-value the oil may possess in addition. "Dry, hacking cough night-

cough; cough with tough expectoration, yellow or white soreness of chest, especially on

coughing; sharp stitches here and there, through chest; burning through to back; burning in

spots," are among the symptoms experienced. The fever symptoms are strongly marked, both

hectic and intermittent. One very characteristic feature is: "Fever < towards evening with burning

• ▸in palms.
• ▸" Chills running down the back.
• ▸Feet constantly cold.
• ▸Ol.
• ▸j.
• ▸a.
• ▸is a chilly medicine:

sensitive to draughts; feels as if continually taking cold. The cough is < from exposure to cold; <

in damp weather. The sensitiveness to chill and damp is part of the intermittent fever action of

the remedy, and along with it is affection of the spleen, which is the seat of several symptoms.

During the chill and before it there is thirst. When the fever came on the cough was >. The

• ▸yellowness of Ol.

• ▸a.
• ▸appears not only in the expectoration, but in the coating of the tongue,

• ▸yellow mucus from sore throat, and a yellow Leucorrhoea.

has a powerful action, increasing the menstrual flow and restoring it when in abeyance. Burnett

has shown that ringworm generally has its constitutional basis in a consumptive habit, and Bacil.

has again and again proved the remedy. This is paralleled in a local use of the anti-phthisic Ol. /.

a. which was taught me by De Noé Walker. In recent ringworm the application of the plain oil at

bedtime is at once the most innocent and most effectual of local measures that I know. Before the

application the part should be washed well with soft soap. Another use of the remedy taught me

by the same authority is as a general application in the case of emaciated, dwarfish, chilly babies

and children. A nightly rubbing with the oil soon revolutionises their condition. The nutrition of

the skin is improved and the medicinal properties of the oil are absorbed without any tax being

put on the organs of digestion. Burnett says olive oil acts as well. That may be, but it does not act

• ▸better.
• ▸I have no comparative figures to refer to.

• ▸it should

certainly have the preference. Defective nutrition; anzemia; weakness and emaciation; deficiency

of animal heat. Children who cannot take milk. The headaches are usually frontal; over right eye;

• ▸bursting after coughing.
• ▸Other symptoms are: Red face (also in hectic).
• ▸Voracious appetite.
• ▸Foul

breath. Symptoms go in all directions—from above down; from below up; from front to back; and

from back to front. One curious symptom was abnormal growth of hair on the face of a woman.

Another was passage of mucus from urethra, with burning, during stool. Symptoms are < by

touch; by riding; by a fall. < By motion; raising arm; stooping; bending side inwards; walking.

Laughing < cough. Lying down = oppressed feeling; and < cough. Coughing = soreness of chest;

headache. Fever > cough. < From draught of air; exposure to cold; living in cold, damp

localities.
