Radium Bromatum

The discovery of Radium and its properties in 1898 by Pierre Curie and his

wife set many persons thinking, and among them, naturally, those who are engaged in the

healing of the sick. Curie himself made the first "proving." He put a tiny bit of Radium salt in an

indiarubber capsule and fastened it to his arm, leaving it there for ten hours. When he took it off

the skin was red, the place turned into a wound, which took four months to heal, leaving a white

scar the size of a shilling surrounded by discoloured puckered skin. On another occasion he left it

for half an hour. A wound appeared at the end of a fortnight and took another fortnight to heal.

On a third occasion, left for eight minutes only, two months later the skin became red and a bit

sore, but it soon passed off.—In 1904 I began to make a few provings with the 30th, and in 1908 I

published them in Radium as an Internal Remedy, along with some observations by Dr. Molson,

experienced by himself when making triturations, and by Dr. Stonham with the 30x. A full

account of these will be found in my book. By far the most important proving is that by Dr.

William H. Dieffenbach, of New York City, published in The Journal of the American Institute

of Homeopathy, August 1911, and afterwards reprinted in pamphlet form the same year.

• ▸Dieffenbach had the co-operation of Drs.
• ▸R.
• ▸S.
• ▸Copeland, W.
• ▸G.
• ▸Crump, H.
• ▸C.
• ▸Sayre, and Guy B.

Stearns in his proving, and this leaves little to be desired. It was carried out on both men and

women on a much more heroic scale than mine, with 30x, 12x, and 6x, in repeated doses, but the

6x produced such severe symptoms that Dieffenbach warns against its use medicinally. Pure

Radium is a white metal which "oxidises in water, burns paper, turns black on exposure to air,

and has the property of adhering firmly to iron." This last quality is not without significance, and

shows a close affinity with Ferrum. Its atomic weight is 225. It is found in the ore pitchblende,

• ▸and Drs.
• ▸E.
• ▸Stillman Bailey and F.
• ▸H.
• ▸Blackmarr, of Chicago (/.
• ▸A.
• ▸J.
• ▸H.
• ▸, September 1911), have

used triturations of this combined with Thorium for radio-treatments. Although Dieffenbach used

much more crude preparations than I did, his results confirm most of mine, and also greatly

extend them, the eyes, skin, joints, and alimentary tracts being particularly affected. Dieffenbach

quotes Professor William His, of Berlin, who published an article on the "Use of Radium in Gout

and Rheumatism." His used Radium emanations (inhalations of the gas), Radium injections into

joints and muscles, and the drinking of Radium water. The provings show the homeeopathicity of

the drug to these conditions, although His used it empirically. Dieffenbach, who had been

investigating Radium for ten years before he published his pamphlet, records that as a result of

former X-ray and Radium-ray experiments one prover's hands had, when the proving

commenced, eczematous eruptions, cracks, scaly excrescences, and wart-like outcroppings. After

his proving with 6x these gradually disappeared. This is confirmed by a case reported to me by

• ▸Mr.
• ▸E.
• ▸S.
• ▸Pierrepont.
• ▸A girl employed in the X-ray Department of the hospital with which he is

connected developed dermatitis of the r. hand and fingers. An ointment was prescribed without

benefit, and cracks appeared on the skin. Two doses of Radium b. 30 were given, on Mr.

Pierrepont's suggestion, one in the morning and one in the evening. The following day the patient

came out in a rash, which the matron mistook for measles, eyes watering, fingers very sore, and

she felt very ill. By the following day the rash had disappeared and she felt well. The fingers

were now better, and they got quite well, except that a sore feeling was left after washing.—A

noticeable feature of both Dieffenbach's proving and mine was the disappearance of small nevi,

which is significant, seeing that the rays are used for the destruction of neevi—Among the most

successful local uses of Radium may be mentioned cases of lupus, epithelioma, carcinoma of the

cervix uteri, and urethral caruncle. That Radium, like X-rays, can cause as well as cure cancer is

• ▸on record.
• ▸I have quoted a case (H.
• ▸W.
• ▸, August 1923) in a practitioner who contracted squamous-

celled carcinoma from a careless handling of Radium tubes. Cases of cure of skin cases with

• ▸Radium in potencies are numerous.
• ▸T.
• ▸Simpson (H.
• ▸W.
• ▸, April 1923) records one such.
• ▸A retired

excise officer had an intractable eruption on the genitals, inner surface of thighs and legs, which

• ▸had prevented him getting any refreshing sleep for three years.
• ▸One tablet of Rad.
• ▸b.
• ▸30 each

morning was prescribed for a month. All conditions were vastly improved, and the patient got

• ▸well without further medication.
• ▸I have recorded another (H.
• ▸W.
• ▸, May 1924).
• ▸A young unmarried

woman, after the application of a Belladonna plaster to the back for lumbago, developed an

cedematous rash involving the whole face and neck, extremely irritating, < at night, preventing

sleep. At the back of the neck was a sore, oozing patch. After temporary relief from some

remedies, there still remained an irritating oozing rash, sore eyes—first right, then left—lids

• ▸swollen, oozing from corners, lips hard, swollen.
• ▸One dose of Rad.
• ▸b.
• ▸30 was given.
• ▸The result

was dramatic. The first night she was able to sleep with only once waking. Two days later the

rash had nearly gone, and the eyes had ceased to water. In a few days all had vanished, and the

• ▸patient could enjoy open air.
• ▸In H.
• ▸R.
• ▸(April 1923) Dr.
• ▸S.
• ▸L.
• ▸Guild-Leggett records the case of a

• ▸girl aged 2 1/2 years who had shifting rheumatism—I.
• ▸foot to r.
• ▸knee, then to I.
• ▸knee, hands, and

toes. She had also a peculiarity about her stools. They were slate-coloured, very offensive,

urgent, and came at noon during a meal. On these symptoms of Dieffenbach's proving:

"Defecation at noon; stool soft, dark, or offensive, slate-colour, clay-colour; pains in extremities,

• ▸wakes 4 a.
• ▸m.
• ▸, pains in all joints—knees, ankles, feet; could not walk, had to lie down," Rad.
• ▸b.

was given, and cured entirely. Other of my cured cases will be found in the Schema marked (°). I

have also distinguished the symptoms from my proving with the letter (C) appended to each

symptom. All the rest are from Dieffenbach. This enables a comparison to be made between the

two.

Peculiar Sensations are: As if skull too small; as if foreign body (lash) in eye; as if something

dropped into trachea. Knees feel as if the bones would protrude. Intolerance of tobacco was

produced.
