Relationship.–

Compare: Taurocholate
of soda in Homeopathy.–Dr. I. P. Tessier, in an interesting study of the action
of bile and its salts, in hepatic affections, analyzes a number of experiments by leading
authorities, with the object of determining this action, and concludes that in the Taurocholate of Soda, homeopathy has a useful remedy against
certain forms of hypoglobular anµmia. The claim that its pathogenesis and toxicology
clearly indicate its value, and that it should also serve us as a remedy in cases of
hypertrophy of the spleen and ganglia. He calls our attention to the fact, that it produces
dyspn£a, the Cheyne-Stokes rhythm, acute pulmonary £dema, and intense exaggeration of the
cardiac pulsations, offering a good field for clinical studies and experimentation of great
interest, which may give fruitful and important results.

Dose.–

Third trituration.
