The Materia
Medica of the Nosodes.
By Henry Clay ALLEN, M. D.
Presented and arranged by Dr Robert Séror.

MALARIA OFFICINALIS.

We are indebted to the late G. W.

Bowen,
Fort Wayne, Ind., for this valuable remedy. Hahnemann
had an extensive experience in Malarial Fevers in the valleys of the
Danube, and the fevers of the Pontine marshes on the Tiber are
historical.

Dr.

Bowen
lived on the Wabash River at that time, a noted malarial region, and
for many years he was called upon to treat hundreds of patients
suffering from all forms of malarial affections.

Malarial affections have been attributed to marsh exhalations in
summer and autumn when the water has been evaporated by heat. These
poison vapors of decaying vegetation Dr.

Bowen
had to contend with, Malarial fevers and their resultant diseases,
intermittent, remittent, continued, typhoid, etc., for years, not only
in their acute, but in their suppressed forms, in which he found all
forms of chronic diseases, very frequently, could be traced to
maltreatment of the acute manifestation.

He conceived the practicability of testing the effects of
artificial toxin prepared from peat, or decayed vegetable matter,
taken from a marsh during the dry season, when the malaria toxin was
most active. This vegetable matter was placed in glass jars, filled
with water and allowed to decompose, which were numbered

I,
II,
and III,
according to the time, one, two or three weeks of decomposition.

At the end of each period, or stage, provings were made by inhaling
the gases given off, just as the patient would naturally inhale the
marsh miasm. Provers were paid so much per day to inhale the gas in
its different stages of decomposition, and a careful record of its
effects was made. This constituted the provings of the crude gases.

For medicinal purposes a tincture was prepared by putting ten drops
of No.

II,
in which the matter had been decomposed for two weeks, into 90
drops of alcohol ;
this formed the 1st
dec. potency, and all Bowen’s
reported cures were treated with this.

Boericke & Tafel made a

30th
from this tincture, which Yingling inhaled, and resulted in his
involuntary proving. Later Boericke & Tafel made a 30th
potency of No. III,
which was run up into the higher potencies by Gorton, and used by
Yingling in his clinical experiences.

The paid provers of No.

I,
which was not very offensive, obtained the following uniform results
in from one to three hours after inhalation :
” Headache, nausea, distressed stomach, white-coated
tongue.” These symptoms passed off in two or three days.

Provers of No.

II
obtained results in from twelve to twenty four hours, which were much
more severe and long lasting. They were :

“Fearful headache, nausea, vomiting in some cases, aversion to
food, distress in stomach, hypochondria, first in the spleen, then the
liver and stomach, and on the third day pronounced chills, which were
so severe that they had to be antidoted.”

No.

III,
which was “fetid to a fearful degree,” produced little
result except nausea within three or four days, but then symptoms
began to appear ;
first, extreme lassitude, chills and fever, pains and aches, impeding
locomotion.

When taken internally the results were much more severe

:

No.

I
caused bilious colic, nausea, cramps, headache.

No.

II,
the stomach, liver, spleen and kidneys became involved, with quartan
or tertian intermittent fevers.

No.

III
setting up a more profound type even, a genuine typhoid or
semi-paralytic state, which compelled the provers to take to bed.

On the day

I
received from Boericke & Tafel Malaria off. 30
I
was foolishly led to try Hahnemann’s
inhalation. The thought just occurred to me on the spur of the moment,
and without stopping to think I
took three strong inhalations, with both sorrow and a proving
resulting. None of the symptoms were distressing, yet marked and clear
cut. The remedy commenced its work promptly and in the order following
:

Aching in both elbows.

A kind of slight concentration of feeling in root of nose, and just
above, as though

I
have a severe cold, similar to that complained of by hay-fever
patients.

feel as though I
should become feverish or hot, though neither is very marked.

Eyes feel heavy and sleepy.

Uneasiness in lower abdomen.

Gaping, yawning and desire to stretch.

Legs are restless

;
feel like stretching and moving them.

I

Yet when

I
sit down I
eat a good dinner with relish.

Dizziness on rising from a reclining position.

Feel generally better after eating dinner.

Aching in occiput.

During the afternoon leg weary.

Unusual hearty appetite for supper

(the
good appetite keeps with me for some days).

A good night’s rest following, and have felt much brighter and
generally better ever since the first day.

(Healing.)

“

I
know several localities in South America, Africa and Spain where the
marsh miasma has unquestionably arrested and cured that fatal scourge
of the human race, phthisis pulmonalis, without any other treatment or
restriction in food or drink.

And why should not the climate of the fen lands of Lincolnshire, in
the neighborhood of Spalding, prove as curative an agent for this
disease as the climate of so many foreign regions where patients go
and die, deprived of all the comforts of home’ Penzance, among the
British localities, is reported to be superior to nine-tenths of the
places to which patients are sent.

Penzance, then, and Spalding should be particularly studied by
medical men and recommended to consumptive individuals who wish to
enjoy the benefits and advantages of a national place of relief, if
not of cure.”

Mrs. R., aged

45,
weighing 245
pounds, could scarcely walk or get into a buggy for two years from the
effects of rheumatism in her back and limbs. Malaria 1x
three or four times a day. In one week she could walk as well as ever
and has no rheumatism or lameness since.

Mr. S., foreman of a large saw mill, has been afflicted with
rheumatism for years, stiff neck and right arm and shoulder helpless
and painful. He wished to keep it from his chest and heart. Malaria

1x
every two hours, when better every three hours. In three days he was
better and could turn his neck and use his arm fairly well. One week
later gave him two drams more of Malaria, to be taken six hours apart.
He has not had any rheumatic troubles since that time.

Mr. C., proprietor of two large saw mills, one in Arkansas, where
he passes part of his time

(and
frequently gets wet),
has been afflicted with so-called gout. I
found it was of a rheumatic nature (caused
by malaria)
and made < by Quinine and external applications, I gave him Malaria 1x. In three days he was better and did not have half as many pains or aches. He took only four drachms, from three to six hours apart, and has not had any rheumatic or gouty pains since.

Mr.

I.
S., aged 55,
a veteran and pensioner of the civil war, emaciated, bronzed in color ;
had not been able to walk for years. After repairing his heart, chest,
stomach, curing his piles and regulating his bowels he was content,
yet he could not walk. His back had been injured in the army, and his
limbs would not move at will and he could not walk alone or get out of
a chair. I
gave him for a week Ruta graveolens and Rhus. tox„ of each the first
cent., three hours apart. This for a time. Concluding his trouble was
due to rheumatism, caused by malaria, gave him 1x
three or four times a day. In one week he rode to my house and came up
and down steps alone. I
gave him two drachms more and in five days he came to my office,
having walked nearly three miles that morning alone. I
need not say I
was surprised, could hardly believe it was all due to Malaria. But it
certainly was, as nothing else was taken or applied ;
has gained flesh and seems at least ten years younger.
