The Materia
Medica of the Nosodes.
By Henry Clay ALLEN, M. D.
AMBRA GRISEA.
(Ambergris)
Description :
Of doubtful origin, for years on the borderland as to its
true classification, but probably a nosode or morbid product found in
the belly of the sperm-whale, the Physeter
Macrosephalous. It is often found floating upon the sea or
thrown upon the shore of the Baltic, or on the coast of Madagascar or
Sumatra. But, perhaps the best specimens are those which whalers cut
out and are to be found in Boston and other whaling ports. It has many
characteristics of intestinal or biliary concretions and has been
considered to be of hepatic origin, probably a fatty excretion from
its gall-bladder. It was introduced by Hahnemann in 1827 ; proved
by him and his friend, Count de Gersdorf, who personally obtained
nearly one-half of the symptoms.
The so-called Oil of Amber (used by Dr. Holcombe
in hiccough) is Oleum Succinum, and should not be confounded with
Ambergris.

Revillout compares the general action of Ambra with that of Kali
bromatum.
The effect appears quicker after Ambra, but that of Kali bromatum
continues longer.
Ambra, therefore, is preferable for the removal of severe reflex
actions, infantile spasms, puerperal eclampsia.
Ambra quiets beautifully the nervous restlessness of pregnancy and
thus prevents convulsions ; it also retards uterine contractions.
Revillout recommends Ambra in pregnancy :
1. To prevent eclampsia.
2. To diminish too severe
labor-pains.
3. In too early labor or threatening
abortion.
But Ambra given too frequently and in too large a dose may also
produce uterine atony.
Ambra given in large doses may generally remove convulsions, from
whatever cause, and by diminishing nervousness acts favorably on
nervous persons, infants and young girls.
Here, then, is another case of involuntary Homśopathy.
Ambra produces in the healthy burning in the sexual parts, with
discharge of a few drops of blood ; menses set in a few days too
soon ; it produces discharge of blood at other times than the
catamenia, also fluor albus, and also perhaps ovaritis.

irritability and impatience, twitching and jerkings in the
