Characteristics—The golden-flowered Rhododendron is not much known in general medicine,

but the Treasury of Botany says of it that "it is narcotic in its properties and is used medicinally."

Growing among the fogs and storms of the Siberian mountains; its provings (by Seidel, Wahle,

Herzog, Helbig, and others) show that it produces sensitiveness to storms and weather changes;

and this gives the grand keynote of its use in medicine. Rhod. disturbs all parts of the economy,

producing delirium, fever, headache, neuralgias (earache, toothache), rheumatism, and

inflammations, but the chief determining characteristic is that the symptoms come on or are < on

the approach of a storm; during a storm; or in wet weather. Sensitiveness to electric changes. It is

suited to nervous persons who dread a storm, and are particularly afraid of thunder; < before the

storm; affections which come on in the spring and autumn, the seasons of change. This is the

chief modality, and will be found in some degree present in a large number of cases requiring

• ▸Rhod.
• ▸But Rhod.
• ▸has other characteristics.
• ▸Among these is loss of memory: Words are omitted

while writing; sudden disappearance of thought; forgets what he is talking about, has to think

awhile before he can recall it. Vertigo and confusion, "brain feels as if surrounded by fog." The

narcotic reputation of Rhod. is borne out in the provings, for it produced actual intoxication, and

also made the provers extraordinarily sensitive to the action of wine. Vertigo occurs whilst lying

in bed, and is > by moving about. An intense degree of tinnitus aurium was caused by it, and

this, associated with the vertigo, gives Rhod. a place in Méniére's disease. A Peculiar Symptom

is: "Loud sounds re-echo long in ears." Like the other Ericaceee, Rhod. has a strong effect on the

kidneys, producing increased urine, with offensive smell, clear, brown red, or of greenish tinge,

and, whatever colour it may be, of offensive smell. This offensive smell reappears in the axillary

sweat. But the general sweat may be aromatic in odour and not unpleasant. "Formication with

sweat" is characteristic. Rhod. sets up diarrhoea; and also a paralytic condition of the rectum, so

that an effort is required to expel a soft stool. Pains in rectum extend to genitals; and the male

generative organs experience the most intense action of the drug. The scrotum shrinks; testes are

retracted; or else they swell (especially at night), and are the seat of a bruised pain, as if they had

been crushed violently. These pains are < by touch; < sitting; > moving about. They may be so

violent as to arrest breathing. The menses are too early and too profuse; the menses are always

accompanied by fever and headache. Menses reappear soon after they have ceased. In one prover

Rhod. restored the menses after six months' absence. It has cured cysts in the vagina, and has

caused the rupture of an ovarian cyst. Chorea of left leg, arm, and face, < on approach of a storm,

has been cured by it. The paralysing effect of Rhod. was exemplified by the poisoning of a flock

of sheep from eating the leaves. A number of them died immediately after the administration of

stimulants, and the autopsy showed that cause of death was paralysis of the swallowing muscles

• ▸(T.
• ▸C.
• ▸Collings, quoted H.
• ▸W.
• ▸, xxix.
• ▸158).
• ▸Cooper cites a parallel case of death from post-

diphtheritic paralysis affecting the throat muscles, occurring a few minutes after drinking tea. In

both instances the fluid entered the trachea instead of the gullet and caused suffocation. Both

sides are affected by Rhod. Symptoms frequently alternate: left and right nostril; burning in

• ▸uterus and pains in limbs; chilliness and heat.
• ▸Pains go from within outward.
• ▸H.
• ▸S.
• ▸Budd (Z.
• ▸R.
• ▸,

• ▸X.
• ▸, 44, married ten years, three children.
• ▸Neuralgia for three

years. Attacks occur usually on Friday or Saturday and last till Monday or Tuesday, but are

induced any time by high winds, damp weather, or an approaching storm. Ammonol, Phenacetin,

Antikamnia, had all failed, and Passif: only partly relieved, sometimes enabling patient to get

sleep. The pain was < after hard work; during any movement; in very cold weather; from hot

applications. Intense soreness all over right half of head. Cannot rest on pillow or endure even

lightest hairpins when pain is worst. < At night. Jntensely nervous and hysterical at being

touched, even by accident. During pain increased activity of kidneys, ceasing when pain ceases.

Pain greatest in right lower jaw. Sometimes > for an hour by chewing gum or eating. Afraid of

which had existed for several years. The patient was of marked gouty heredity, and had been

treated by leading old-school doctors in New York. She was well during the summer, but

suffered intensely during winter. Pains general and shifting, sometimes intercostal, sometimes

sciatic; in bad weather never absent. The last form was prostrating headache, incapacitating her

• ▸for school work.
• ▸The eyes were normal.
• ▸While the sun shone she was comfortable.
• ▸If it stormed

or threatened she was miserable. If she had a headache on a stormy day and the sun came out, in

ten minutes she was relieved, and it returned at once if snow or rain came on. A cold day,

especially if damp, was almost as bad as a storm. Rhod. Q, in repeated and increasing doses,

cured in three weeks. Colour, spirits, strength returned, and she no longer minded the weather or

Peculiar Symptom in the eyes is: One pupil dilated, the other contracted. There is a splenic stitch

on walking fast. The incarcerated flatus is felt in the hypochondria and small of the back. It is not

at all unusual to meet this symptom, "Flatus felt in the back," in cases of flatulent indigestion.

"Increased warmth of hands even in cold weather" is another peculiar symptom. The symptoms

are < by touch (toothache, testicles, chest—this sensitiveness is general). Rest <; motion
