Syphilinum

I learnt the value of this nosode from Skinner, who has made with it some

very brilliant cures. It has been proved by Swan in the potencies, and Hering's Schema, from

which mine is taken, comprises also disease symptoms—marked "(n)"—and cured symptoms,

which have generally the name and the disease appended. Cured cases of secondary syphilis I

• ▸have marked "(s.
• ▸s.
• ▸).
• ▸" The widespread distribution of syphilis, acquired and hereditary, and the

virulence and persistence of the virus, give this nosode a high degree of importance in

homeeopathic practice. It has been mainly, almost exclusively, employed by those who are

familiar with the use of high attenuations. I have used no potency lower than 200, and rarely

repeat the dose oftener than once a week. The leading features of the disease are the keynotes for

the use of the remedy, and (/) first in importance is the "Night <": "Pains from darkness to

daylight; begin with twilight and end with daylight." "All symptoms < at night." "Terrible dread

of night, on account of mental and physical exhaustion on awaking." This night aggravation will

be found in a large proportion of the cases needing Syph.; in ophthalmia, the pains are < at night,

and during the night the lids grow together. Neuralgia, and headache, asthma, coughs < from

sunset to sunrise, whether syphilitic or not, will be benefited by Syph. Sleeplessness is itself a

• ▸leading indication for Syph.
• ▸, which vies with Su/.
• ▸as a sleep restorer.
• ▸(2) Next to the Night <, is

Ulceration: this may affect mouth, nose, genitals, or skin, and the ulcers have greyish bases; in

the nose they produce the most offensive form of ozzena with discharge of fetid clinkers. In such

cases I have found Syph. of the greatest service. Fetid discharges from the ear come in the same

• ▸category.
• ▸(3) Abscesses with foul secretions.
• ▸(All pus-formations of Syph.
• ▸are fetid.
• ▸) Succession

of abscesses is one of the grand keynotes of the materia medica. Eyes, teeth, and skin give other

• ▸leading indications.
• ▸In ophthalmia neonatorum the lids adhere during sleep; pains < 2 to 5 a.
• ▸m.
• ▸;

pus profuse; > cold bathing. Iritis, syphilitic or rheumatic, has been cured with Syph. Ptosis;

sleepy look from drooping lids. Diplopia, one image seen below the other. Teeth decay at the

edge of the gums and break off; are cupped, have serrated edges; dwarfed in size and converge at

their tips. The typical eruption of Syph. is copper-coloured spots, but it covers many other forms,

including pemphigus. The glandular system is affected throughout and nutrition impaired,

leading to extreme emaciation. Burnett has recorded in his book on Delicate Children many

instances of the power of Syph. to free stunted children from this constitutional blight. Further

indications for Syph. are: Pains < and > gradually; are shifting, and require frequent change of

position. Leucorrhoea; profuse, soaking through napkins and running to heels. Craving for

alcohol in any form. Hereditary tendency to alcoholism. (Bacchus and Venus are close allies).

The orifices of the body are all affected by syphilis, and Syph. has a great sphere in rectal pain

and constipation. "Obstinate constipation for years; rectum seems tied up with strictures; when

enema was used the agony of passage was like labour." Bones are affected, and especially bones

• ▸of head and tibize.
• ▸Nodes on the head.
• ▸H.
• ▸C.
• ▸Allen says: "Syphilitics, or patients who have had

chancre treated by local means, and as a result have suffered from throat and skip troubles for

years, are nearly always benefited by this remedy at commencement of treatment unless some

• ▸other remedy is clearly indicated.
• ▸" Thomas Wildes (H.
• ▸P.
• ▸, xi.
• ▸267) gives his experience with

Syph. In chancre he gives Syph. 1m (Swan)—according to Skinner's calculation this is much

lower than Im of the centesimal scale—one dose every night. The chancre increases for the first

two weeks and then gradually fades away, not being followed by secondaries. Where the edges

of the chancre assume the appearance of proud flesh in the third or fourth week, and become

everted, jagged, and angry dark red, he gives Lac can. cm (Swan) every night for ten to fourteen

days, until the sore takes on a more natural appearance, when Syph. 1m is again given to finish

• ▸the case.
• ▸For any remaining induration Nit.
• ▸ac.
• ▸30, four times a day, is given.
• ▸Headaches in great

variety he cured with it; aphasia; ptosis; paralysis of tongue; facial paralysis; hemiplegia;

"persistent pains in any part of the body;" catarrhal and nerve deafness; itching of nostrils; dark

purple lines between alze nasi and cheeks. Itching scabby eruptions on face or breast; singly or in

• ▸clusters, looking like herpes.
• ▸Pain and pressure behind sternum.
• ▸Epilepsy.
• ▸Wildes cured with

Syph. 1m a bookkeeper who for many months had had a piercing, pressing, excruciating

headache over right eye extending deep into brain. It was so severe, he was losing continuity of

thought and memory. Under Syph. every night the headache disappeared entirely in ten days and

the mental faculties were fully restored; but in six weeks the whole eyebrow on that side broke

out into a sickly, yellow, syphilitic eczema with a red, angry, and oozing base extending under

the arch to the lid from canthus to canthus up into forehead and down the side of the nose. The

cure of this was tedious, because, Wildes thinks, he did not stick to Syph., but changed the

remedy. This man had had syphilis a few years before. In 1879 a lady, 26, extremely bright and

intelligent, came to Wildes with a dreadful ozzena. She had also curvature of the spine and

• ▸congestion of right ovary.
• ▸Always delicate from a child.
• ▸Syph.
• ▸cured the ozeena and improved the

health, but it "drove out a saddle to which the Sepia saddle is but a shadow"—a furious

inflammatory mass of syphilitic sores, scabs, and eczema, red and angry, with a fiery base

extending from one malar prominence to the other, across nose up to eyes and forehead. This

took eighteen months to cure. The ozcena never returned. A boy, 4, had an obstinate rash, a

combination of prurigo and herpes, on chin, lips, cheek-bone, forehead, and hairy scalp; on arms,

chest, back, bends of joints and on the joints, and on fingers and hands, nowhere profuse. In spite

of authorities to the contrary, Wildes maintains that syphilitic rashes may itch, and that prurigo is

infectious and is one of the initial stages of leprosy. This boy had a spot of eruption on the left

• ▸thigh the size of the top-joint of a man's thumb.
• ▸This was distinctly a leper spot.
• ▸Syph.
• ▸1m caused

the rash to come out strongly all over the body in patches, the face was one-third covered with a

thick, yellow, scabby eruption. The remedy was continued and the boy got well, wonderfully

improved in health, no longer nervous, growing well; sleeping well; appetite good. Girl, 16, had

measles a year before which did not come out properly. A year and a half prior thereto subject to

neuralgic headaches. Ailing about two years; very despondent, wants to die, headaches growing

more violent. During the headaches the temple veins stand out, has pains all over the body, is

very irritable, restless, walking about much of the time, does not wish to be soothed, violent on

being opposed, has tremors and seems on the verge of convulsions, dazed, absent-minded, and

almost insane. Always washing her hands. Was formerly constipated, but now subject to "a kind

of diarrhoea." Menses never have come on properly, and for the past year have been very

irregular, much delayed, scanty, and always extremely painful. Often feverish. Sleep anxious,

distressed, and often wakeful and violently restless. The italicised symptoms indicated Syph., and

under this she steadily recovered. A young lady contracted "lepra-syphilis" from vaccination.

She had an immense blood-boil on her arm which would not heal. Face broken out with a lumpy

fiery rash. With Syph. 1m at bedtime she recovered rapidly; the arm healed quickly and her face

became free from eruption. Boy, 3, had cluster of yellow blotches on fingers and roots of nails,

• ▸distorting the nails.
• ▸The boy's father was epileptic.
• ▸The boy was helped with Fluor.
• ▸ac.
• ▸and cured

• ▸with Syph.
• ▸, the nails becoming straight.
• ▸Many persons, says Wildes, after taking Syph.
• ▸for a few

days, complained of heavy, crushing, cutting pains across the base of the cerebellum; others of

heavy aching and stiffness from base of neck up through muscles and cords of neck and into the

brain; others of a heavy, clouded, dull feeling at base of brain with physical lethargy, and

sometimes with dizziness, sometimes with confusion of thoughts and often a feeling as if going

insane or about to be paralysed. Sometimes a far-away feeling, with a feeling of indifference to

the future. Accompanying these there may come a heavy, dragging, dull feeling in lumbar

region, with stiffness and want of elasticity. Peculiar Sensations are: A seething feeling as if hot

water or hot oil running through all veins of the body, all night long. As if going insane or about

• ▸to be paralysed.
• ▸Tongue feels as if paralysed.
• ▸A far-away feeling with apathy.

pulled back by a weight. As if blood went to right inner canthus and temples and could get no

further. As if sand in eyes. As if right eye were wide open and cold air were blowing in it.

Fluttering as of something alive in teeth. As if a worm in tooth. As if teeth had got out of place.

Distress as if in omentum. As if rectum were tied up with strictures. As if urethra had been

stuffed up and clogged. As if sternum was being drawn towards dorsal vertebrae. As if she would

suffocate with rough. As if skin were drawn up in centre of chest on drawing back head. Coccyx

• ▸As if throat tearing to pieces.

running down legs. As if bitten by bugs. A number of /inear pains have been observed in Syph.

winters with an intense cold pain in both legs; it came on every night on lying down; and lasted

all night, the only relief being by getting up and walking. Magnetic leggings had given most

above inner angle of right eye, very distressing, with an occasional thrust as of an iron rod from

the same spot through to lower part of occiput. This thrust was excruciating. He was due to

preach next day, but the pain quite incapacitated him, hence his appeal for help. Haggard look.

The highest potencies only, and in infrequent doses.

Whenever the symptoms that are representative of the patient himself have been suppressed in any case of syphilis, and nothing remains

but weakness and a few results of the storm that has long ago or recently passed, this nosode will cause reaction and restore order and

sometimes do much curing, and the symptoms that must always be

present, that represent the disordered state of the economy will appear

to guide to a restoration of health. When a syphilitic patient has suffered from a course of typhoid he may be very slow in convalescing,

but a single dose of Syphilinum high will cause him to eat and feel

stronger and gain rapidly. How does the old school treatment of

syphilis diflFer from barbarism ? one might well ask. The strong drugging by Mercurius and iodides so debilitate that all who pass through

arc invalids and weak ; even then they are not cured of syphilis — if

they were cured we could not cause to come back the symptoms that

have been removed. Syphilinum often does bring back the ulcers in

the throat and the eruptions. When there are violent neuralgias of

the head, in sides of head and over the eyes, great soreness in bones

of legs and head, and the multitude of symptoms of nerve syphilis all

nondescript, then it is that the patieat will be made free from suffering, and given sleep, strength and appetite. But the ulcers and eruptions will come back in some cases, apd it is all the better if they do.

It is by no means limited to patients, who have had syphilis. It can

be used like any remedy against the symptoms of the provings, or such

as are similar to symptoms common to the disease or against the symptoms like the numerous verified clinical symptoms. Many symptoms

are worse at night in bed, many come on in the evening and last till

morning. From sundown to sunrise marks the time of many violent

pains and sufferings. Some are better from heat, and some are better

from cold air and cold applications. There is great prostration in the

morning on waking. It has cured many cases of epilepsy. Epileptic

convulsions after menses. Sleeplessness, V'Omctimes only one-half of

the night, again the whole night. The blood feels hot flowing through

the arteries during the night. Wandering pains here and there all

over the body. Pain in the periosteum, nerves and joints. Pains

sometimes increase gradually and decrease gradually. Sharp pains

here and there. Complaints worse in the cold weather of winter and

• ▸heat of summer.
• ▸Extreme emaciation.
• ▸Abscesses.
• ▸Paralysis of

• ▸limbs.

• ▸Curvature of spine.
• ▸Gummata.
• ▸Dwarfish

• ▸children.
• ▸Curvature of bones.
• ▸Enlarged glands.
• ▸Offensive odor of

the body. Soreness to touch in many parts, especially bones. It has

often been observed that in syphilized invalids remedies act but a few

days and must be changed. This always calls for the nosode. When

there is only great weakness and few symptoms it will act well When

there is ulceration of legs, throat, mouth or other parts with no repair.

Fistulous openings, exostoses, fissures, tubercles and warts have been

cured promptly. When it has been used against the primary manifestations of the disease and in the earlier phenomena it has generally

resulted in failure. It is seldom the best remedy for syphilis per se,

but for marked and suppressed syphilis it seems to restore a sort of

order and bring better reaction. The author has many times observed

that gummata in throat and anus will take on destructive ulceration in

old broken down cases after Sulphur has been given, and that Syphilinum will restrain it and establish repair. Sulphur often produces

prolonged aggravation when there are many tissue changes in advanced

cases of syphilis. Such changes are most likely gummata. The effort

of Sulphur is to remove the results of disease, which the patient cannot stand. It often causes suspicion of latent syphilis when such aggravations are very severe after Sulphur high. Sulphur low will not

he followed by such results. After such prolonged aggravations

Syphilinum should be considered. Latent syphilis often exists where

it is least expected. This nosode should be used only in high potencies.

suffered many years from latent syphilis abandoned his business and

remained at home lamenting and sad. His wife supported the family

by keeping boarders. After receiving a few doses of Syphilinum he
