DIGITALINUM.
HEART AND PULSE.
► Præcordium.
► Sensation as though the heart stood still for a moment
while playing the piano (first day), [1]. ► Sensation as though the heart stood still, followed by
transient sensation of palpitation, in the afternoon (third day), [1]. ► Peculiar sensation in the
heart, with great anxiety; no palpitation, but a trembling of the heart, with standing
still, in the evening while sitting; repeated after half an hour (third day), [4]. ► Extreme præcordial anxiety
(after a few moments), [18]. [300.]
► Extreme præcordial anxiety (seven hours after first
dose, having taken second dose in the meantime), [8]. ► Pains not very violent, in the præcordial region, in the
evening while walking (third day), [1b]. ► Pressive pain in the præcordial region, transient, but
frequently returning (fourth day), [1]. ► Dull sticking pain in the præcordial region, corresponding
to the beat of the heart, in the morning (tenth day), [1b].
► Some stitches in the præcordial region (eighth day), [1b]. ► Stitches in the
præcordial region, for a long time towards evening, corresponding to the pulsations of the
heart (fourth day), [1b]. ►
Stitches in the region of the heart (sixth day), [1b].
► Frequent stitches through the præcordial region, with
persistent pressive-throbbing pains, three-quarters of an hour after the dose (nineteenth
day), [1b]. ►
Persistent, violent, dull stitches in the præcordial region at noon while walking
(nineteenth day), [1b]. ►
Pain in the region of the apex of the heart, like a pressive dull stitch, not returning
(after a quarter of an hour), [1b]. ► Transient pulsating pain in the region of the apex of the
heart (after one hour, third day), [1]. ► Heart’s Action. [310.]
► Digitalinum acts with great energy on the heart,
throwing it into violent and disorderly contractions, which quickly end in a cessation of
movement. The frequency of the contractions is not increased, but is progressively
diminished, and the functions of the heart are abolished very early, voluntary power
surviving the death of the organ, [17]. ► A feeling of palpitation, with dull sticking pain in the left
side, towards evening while walking (fifth day), [1b].
► Slight palpitation several times, while sitting, at
noon (twenty-seventh day), [1b]. ►
Violent palpitation in the evening while standing, more violent than at any other time
during the proving (nineteenth day), [1b]. ► Violent palpitations three or four times in succession in the
evening while lying in bed on the left side; it immediately ceased on turning to the right
side. During this palpitation the pulse was very slow and full, and I felt the beat of the
arteries in the head like the blows of a hammer; afterwards the pulse was accelerated and
smaller (first day), [1b]. ►
Towards midnight I went to bed, but could not fall asleep for a long time, though I had
walked much the previous day, and had slept a very short time the previous night. I lay as
usual on the left side, but had such a violent palpitation of the heart, that I was obliged
to turn to the right side. While usually I could scarcely feel the beating of my heart, now
there was not only a strong undulating motion on the left side just below the nipple, but
the whole wall of the chest seemed to be much shaken; therewith the pulse was not much
accelerated, but unusually full and strong. As soon as I lay upon the right side the
palpitation ceased, and only with difficulty was I able to feel the beat of the heart, and
on the right side near the nipple (twenty-third day), [1b].
► Action of heart tumultuous and irregular, ceasing at
intervals, and soon suppressed, [14]. ► Heart’s action tumultuous and irregular before death, [11]. ► Heart-sounds
deep; strong impulse of heart, [8]. [320.] ► Beats of heart
rhythmical, and strongly accentuated (after eleven hours), [18].
► Heart-sounds scarcely audible (second day), [12]. ► Beats of the
heart scarcely audible (after twelve hours), [12]. ► Pulse. ► Pulse
extremely accelerated five minutes after the dose (eighteenth day), [1b]. ► Pulse as usual, but more
rapid when speaking and walking, [4]. ► The pulse showed a great irritability in respect to motion;
if, while sitting, leaning against anything, I turned only the head slowly, the pulse
immediately became more rapid for from four to ten seconds (seventh day), [1]. ► Pulse 80, small, hard,
compressed, regular, [16]. ►
Pulse 90, full, vibrating (after eleven hours); 104, full, regular, without intermissions
(after fourteen hours), [18]. ►
Pulse previously always 60 while sitting; 64 (after three minutes), the several beats did
not seem to the finger to have equal power; 62, where it remained for three hours (after
five minutes); increased from three to four beats in a minute after the dose (fifth day), [3]. ► Pulse previous to
taking 72 sitting, 90 to 92 standing, 90 standing (second day); 72 sitting, 88 standing in
the morning, 72 sitting in the evening (third day); 82 sitting in the afternoon, 78 sitting,
102 standing in the evening (fourth day); 92 sitting in the afternoon, 96 sitting, 108
standing in the evening (sixth day), [2b]. [330.] ► Pulse decidedly
slower (after two hours), [4]. ►
Well-marked effect on the pulse, which continued regular, but became rather hard; this
effect remained after leaving off the medicine, when the pulse became decidedly slower, [6]. ► Pulse sometimes
quicker, sometimes slower, from small doses, but under larger doses a marked lowering of the
pulsations, [21]. ►
Very slow pulse (from 25 to 30), [10]. ► Pulse 72 (after two hours and a quarter), 60 (after six
hours), 58 (after eight hours), 56 (after twelve hours), 52 (second day), [12]. ► Pulse regular, full, and
vibrating; fell from 68-70 to 48-50, [8]. ► Pulse before taking averaged for nine days 59.21, highest 67,
lowest 52; while taking averaged 52.61, highest 59, lowest 42; after taking averaged or ten
days 57.45, highest 62, lowest 52, [5]. ► Pulse before taking averaged for twenty-two days 64.85,
highest 73, lowest 57; while taking averaged 59.25, highest 68, lowest 53; after taking
averaged for six days 55.52, highest 63 (sixth day), lowest 50 (fifth day), [6]. ► Pulse before taking
averaged 67.49, highest 73, lowest 61; while taking averaged 64, highest 74, lowest 54;
after taking averaged one to ten days 59.88, eleven to twenty days 67.76, highest first ten
days 72, second ten days 76, lowest first ten days 50, second ten days 61, [7]. ► Pulse rather irregular,
intermittent, afterwards imperceptible, [14]. [340.] ► Pulse rather
irregular; some rapid, small beats alternating with several full and slow ones without any
regularity (eighth day), [1b]. ►
Pulse somewhat irregular; a few strong full beats, seemingly retarded, are followed by some
rapid pulsations, as if hurried (fourth day), [1]. ► Pulse very irregular, sometimes jerking, at other times slow
(sixteenth day), [1b]. ►
When given in small doses, it first reduces the number of beats without rendering them
irregular; if its influence be pushed farther, the pulse remains slow, but now and then a
quick beat is interpolated; these quick beats, as the influence increases, become more
numerous, so that the slow beats, which now occur only occasionally, become intermissions;
and in a still farther stage, the slow beats entirely disappear, and the pulse becomes
regular and extremely rapid, [21]. ► Pulse 64 to 72 before taking; 58 (after nine hours); 60
(after thirteen hours), (first day). 60 before taking; 57 (after six hours); 58 equal, full,
regular (after eight hours); 58 (after eleven hours), (second day). 56, normal pulsations,
before taking; 54 (after four hours and a half); 53 (after eight hours); 50 before dinner;
52 afterwards (after eleven hours); 56 (after thirteen hours), (third day). In the morning,
exercise raised it to 66, but rest speedily reduced it to 54; 60, intermitting pulsations,
at 9 A.M. and 8 P.M. (fourth day). 60, irregular pulsations, difficult to count, in the
morning; after rising increasing to 72; after 7 P.M. 54 (fifth day). 60, irregular

nearly imperceptible, [21].
