foot was at rest, so severe for about an hour, that it brought tears to my eyes; took coffee, and pain while foot remained at rest soon ceased. Continued drinking coffee frequently to the end, and had no more pain, except when moving foot or bearing weight on it. Instep slightly red and swollen, still no outside tenderness. Could not let foot touch the ground, the pain was so acute, yet by putting the foot down very gradually in spite of some pain, and over a space of one or two minutes, and by degrees bringing the weight of the body upon it, I could stand without pain. Immediately, however, I took the weight off again, however so gently, the pain came back.

September 30th. Foot improving, can put it to the ground, and bear weight for a little time occasionally.

October 1st. Still improving, can use foot more.

A redness came out simultaneous with the improvement; used coffee as a lotion on rag for an hour, which sent the redness in and made the foot worse, so I stopped it. Slight pain in right foot before trying coffee lotion.

October 2d. Left foot better; right foot has now become affected in same manner, and now is the worse of the two.

October 3d. Still improving, but the left foot the better of the two.

October 4th. Improving, able to put on a large pair of loose boots and go into garden.

October 5th. Condition nearly normal, put on ordinary boots, and slowly took a short walk. Next day quite well.

CARBONEUM SULFURATUM.

Authority. 59, T. Wilson, M. R. C. S., Brit. Journ. of Hom., vol. xvii, p. 274, effects of vapor.

April 15th, 1857. In good health, aged thirty-eight years. Yesterday I was exposed in a small room to the vapor of the Sulphuret of carbon, for half an hour, in the evening. To-day, in the afternoon, pain commenced suddenly in the right lower eyelid, as if bruised, first observed on touching the eyelid, and near to the outer angle; after a short time the same bruised feel in the upper eyelid came on, over the region of the lachrymal gland; the globe of the eye at the upper and inner part has the same bruised feeling; the pains are all aggravated by movement of the eye or lids, also by pressure; the eyelids of the same eye feel as if swollen, but are not so; the conjunctiva of the lower eyelid redder than usual, at the outer margin of the lid; sensation as if a stye would begin. Humming noise in left ear. The above feelings were all new to me, never having had anything of the sort before.

16th. The same lower eyelid hot, painful, sore, slightly swelled, rather red near the outer angle of the eyelid.

17th. Since yesterday, continued humming in left ear, extending to the back of the head; stye forming on right lower eyelid, hot and painful. 18th. Loud humming, like wind in the distance; left ear. Lower eyelid very red and swollen, more so at the outer edge; punctured the stye with a lancet, a small quantity of muco-purulent discharge came away. When talking, I feel obliged to raise the voice on account of the loudness of the noise in the ear.

In the evening and during the night, always a feeling of fulness at back of head, with humming noise there; these sensations gone in the morning.

Yesterday took Pul. 3d without relief.

Drowsy day and night ever since exposed to the vapor of the Sulphuret of carbon.

Yesterday after dinner, and during dinner, feeling of deafness in the left ear, as if obstructed by a thick substance.

19th. Noise continues, worse after food; left ear rather deaf, and feels obstructed. Lower eyelid discharges yellow thick pus; this morning not so painful.

Took tincture of Belladonna 1st dil., a few drops yesterday, with slight relief to the noise in the ear; it returned, however, in the evening as bad as ever, with oppression at the back of the head. To-day took a few drops of tincture of Belladonna th, without the slightest relief.

20th. Noise in the ear not quite so loud. Vertigo this morning felt at the back of the head. Severe laryngeal, tracheal, and bronchial cough came on yesterday, continues to day, with soreness in the chest ; expectoration of thick mucus this morning.

Took Merc. sol., 3d trit., gr. ii, and Phos. 3d, three hours afterwards.

22d. Cough continues, but not so severe; sneezing, running at the nose, with profuse discharge of thick mucus, lachrymation, and headache in the forehead and back part. Headache worse yesterday, this evening nearly gone. Noise in the ear much less, but still continuing slightly. Symptoms of the last two days like influenza.

Took Merc. viv., 2d trit.; Kali hydr., 1st dil., gtt. iv; Hep. sul., 3d trit.; one dose of each at various periods. Eyelid about well.

27th. No noise in the ear to-day, except a little before rising in the morning. No deafuess; this is the first day since the noise in the ear commenced that I have been free from it. Still running at the nose, and cough first thing in the morning, getting easier by bedtime; ceasing entirely when lying; mucous rattle in upper part of left lung a few inches above the nipple. The right nostril bled a little yesterday and the day before.

30th. Rather loud noise in left ear, like gusts of wind through a funnel or hollow tube. Influenza continues; herpetic eruption on the upper lip. May 3d. Noise in left ear has continued since last date, more intermitting, and not so loud. Cough, with expectoration of mucus. Mucous râle in the upper part of the left lung on first waking in the morning. Took one dose of tincture of Bell., m. 1st, to day.

12th. Noise in left ear continues, other symptoms about gone. Very lowspirited from the first symptoms till yesterday.

20th. Noise in left ear, but less severe.

25th. Noise in the ear about gone.

28th. Another stye forming on right under eyelid. Noise in the ear heard slightly at times.

June 14th. Occasionally noise in the left ear.

July 5th. Noise in left ear returned yesterday, it has continued at intervals ever since; same noise as before.

The left ear continued affected for some months after this time by the morbid sound, but less in degree, and it finally ceased altogether,59.

DIGITALIS.

Authority. 104, Drs. Flechner, Frankel, Schneller, and Winternitz, Zeit. der k. k. Gesel. der Erzte zu Wien, 1847, p. 171, three men made a proving with the tincture, beginning with 2 drops and increasing to 160, and in one case to 400.

The small doses up to 30 drops, produced scarcely any effect except a bitter taste and some eructations; larger doses caused in two persons dryness of the lips, a feeling of rawness or burning in the pharynx, visible increase of saliva and mucus in the mouth, nausea, inclination to vomit, and a constrictive pain in the throat and along the oesophagus, with rumbling or griping in the intestines, and tension caused by flatulence; the stools remained unaffected in two provers, but in one became very dry and indolent, and in another, after 80 drops, there was sudden diarrhoea. The symptoms from 100 drops and upwards, were pressive pain in the forehead, obscuration of the eyes; in one case, oppressive pain beneath the ensiform cartilage,104

CUPRUM.-Correction of note on page 4, vol. iv.

Hahnemann advised triturations of the pure metal, but included in his pathogenesis, provings with the acetate as well as the metal. It is, therefore, impossible to determine which of his symptoms belong to the metal and which to the acetate. All his provings therefore are given under the metal. Other provers, using, in part certainly, the acetate, are mentioned in the remainder of the note.
