Glandular affections.
By Pr. Willis A. Dewey.

Pr. Willis A. Dewey (1858-1938)

(Belladonna, Iodum, Spongia, Graphites, Silicea, Calcarea fluorica,
Cistus, Lapis albus, Bromum, Carbo animalis, Carbo vegetabilis, Badiaga,
Conium maculatum, Sulfur, Baryta muriatica, Baryta iodata, Calcarea
carbonica, Silicea, Apis mellifica, Mercurius, Hepar sulfur.)

• Belladonna.

The remedy in all glandular swellings of an inflammatory character with
rapid swelling threatening suppuration.

Swollen glands in the axillary region, especially at the climaxis, or
swellings of the mammć, which are heavy, red and sensitive.

Red shining streaks radiating from the glands with great heat and
stitching pains indicate

Belladonna.

Swelling, suppuration and induration of the inguinal or cervical glands
are well met by the remedy when the attack is acute and very painful.

The glands, though swollen, are never purple or gangrenous ; the
inflammation involves the substance of a gland,

Apis
more the surface.

• Iodum.

This remedy corresponds to indolent swellings, those that are torpid and
sluggish, which are large, hard and usually painless, and especially about
the neck, or they may be anywhere.

It has been used with some success in the parenchymatous form of goitre
with obstructed breathing, but

Bayes
thinks it will rarely cure alone.

Enlarged bronchial and mesenteric glands.

Scrofulous or arthritic enlargement of the glands.

The various combinations of

Iodine
are prominent and trustworthy remedies in glandular affections. Baryta
iodide for tonsillar enlargements.

Arsenic iodide

when accompanied
by anćmic conditions, also Ferrum
iodide and Calcarea
iodide have many times removed
glandular enlargements, engorgements and hypertrophies.

• Spongia.

Goitre hard and large with suffocative attacks ; swelling in
cervical region with tension and painful to touch.

• Graphites.

Enlargement of glands of neck and axilla and mesenteric glands, patient
debilitated ; the swelling is painful and sensitive and is usually
associated with some skin affection.

There is great tendency in such patients to take cold.

• Silicea.

Suppurating glands.

Inflammation of the breast.

Suppurative inflammations of the sebaceous glands also call for the
remedy.

Fistulous openings leading down to the glands is a specially useful
indication.

• Calcarea fluorica.

Long lasting and indolent glandular
enlargements of the cervical lymphatic glands where the hardness is
pronounced.

Also enlargements of the bronchial and mesenteric glands, worse in damp
weather, better from hot fomentations and rubbing, the

6x
works well.

Solidified indurations.

• Cistus Canadensis.

Glandular enlargement, especially of sub-maxillary glands with caries of
the jaw.

Scrofulous glandular swellings ; an impure breath is an indication.

The glands become inflamed, indurated and ulcerated.

• Lapis albus.

Enlargement of mesenteric glands and chronic glandular swellings in
scrofulous children.

The swollen glands have a certain amount of plasticity rather than stony
hardness.

Goitre, diarrhśa, etc.

It tends to break down enlarged glands and bring on speedy suppuration,
enlarged indurated cervical glands ; goitre with anćmic symptoms and
increased appetite has been cured by the remedy.

• Bromine.

Enlargement of glands scrofulous in nature, parotids swollen ; it
suits light complexioned, blue-eyed children who suffer from enlarged
tonsils.

Goitre.

Hard swelling of external cervical glands.

It softens indurations of sub-maxillary and parotid gland after scarlet
fever ; the swellings are hard, elastic.

• Carbo animalis.

Indurated bubśs, indurated axillary glands ; they are hard as a
stone in the inguinal region and the surrounding tissues even are hard.

Induration

is the keynote.

• Carbo vegetabilis.

Induration of mammć, burning pains and tendency to suppuration.

• Badiaga.

Enlargement of glands with indurations, indurated bubśs, also

Alumina.

Conium.

In the

30th
potency this remedy has a distinct, positive and marvelous power over
certain glandular enlargements ; possibly the 200th
may do the same, but the 30th
I know will do it.

It will absorb hard glandular tumors, growths that can be outlined and
felt.

Enlargements of glands with little or no pain ; it is useful for the
beginning of scirrhus, and especially is it indicated after injuries to
glands, where stony hardness is present.

Adenoma.

Debilitated subjects with marked tendency to induration, extending to
cellular tissue, swollen glands after burns, painless or sharp knife-like
pains, especially of mammary glands, but not confined to any special region.

• Sulphur.

The great remedy for scrofulous glandular enlargements ; the
inguinal, axillary, sub-maxillary and subcutaneous glands are affected and
the patient is of the typical

Sulphur
temperament.

• Baryta muriate and Baryta iodide.

Baryta muriate

and iodide
have a special power over the absorbents ; the muriate is especially
for stony hardness.

• Calcarea carbonica.

Scrofulous enlargement of the lymphatic glands of the neck and axilla,
which are firm and hard.

Helmuth

has seen adenoma
disappear after this remedy, and it is especially useful after Sulphur.

The remedy has also been used successfully in goitre.

• Silicea and Apis.

Silicea

and Apis
are both credited with cures of cystic goitres.

• Mercurius and Hepar.

Mercurius

follows Belladonna
well, and it is the first specific in scrofulous subjects where the swelling
in the parotid and sub-maxillary glands develops rapidly with great pain.

Induration of the glands of the throat and neck.

It is more useful in these disorders used in the higher potencies.

Hepar

suits the stage of
suppuration, bubśs and enlarged glands after the abuse of mercury.

The glandular swellings of

Mercurius
are not especially sensitive and are apt to appear whenever the patient
takes cold.
