Antimonium crudum — general · James Tyler Kent
You will be surprised, when studying full provings of this substance, to notice that all the symptoms seem to centre about the stomach; it does not matter much what kind of complaints he suffers from the stomach takes part in it. The pains disturb his stomach and bring, on nausea; with his headache he is sick at the stomach; with all complaints his stomach is out of order, and, on the other band, whenever he disorders his stomach he is sick all over. Complaints that manifest themselves through the stomach very frequently need this medicine. First in importance are the mental symptoms showing the type of constitution likely to need this remedy. It produces a very serious state in the mind, an absence of the desire to live. It is well known to physicians that the case is a serious one if the patient has no desire to live; life is a burden. When I hear a patient say: "Oh, doctor, if I could only die." I do not like such a case; there is some deep- seated trouble in the economy that is hard to remove. Something is threatening, and when it comes it is a common thing to see the patient actually die. "Loathing of life." You will find this especially in a low, lingering, continued fever, such as typhoid. This remedy has all the prostration of typhoid, and it has the continued type of fever as well as the intermittent and remittent. The prostration is similar to Arsenicum, but Ars. have overwhelming fear of death, while this medicine has loathing of life; and so they both part company. Ars, has overwhelming restlessness, this remedy is seldom restless. Ars.

Antimonium crudum — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
“ Stibium Sulphuratum nigrum. ”— Hahnem ann. Hahnemann says it is found in nature, in the shape of black parallel needles, having a metallic lustre ; is composed of twenty- eight parts of sulphur and one hundred parts of antimony. The different triturations are prepared according to the method which has been already pointed out. The smallest dose, he says, is sufficient to produce the desired effect, in chronic diseases. . . . He says :— Antimony is useful when the following symptoms are indicated : A child cannot bear to be touched or looked at. Rush of blood to the head ; troublesome itching on head : with falling off of hair. Redness and inflammation of the eyelids. Sore nostrils : heat and itching of cheek. Pain in hollow teeth. Chronic loss of appetite : eructations tasting of ingesta. Nausea, loathing, disposition to vomit consequent upon a spoiled stomach, etc., etc. . . . One has, perhaps unfortunately, a certain limited number of remedies that have become such friends that they are always at hand, tendering their services ; while a host of others remain mere names and need to be laboriously looked up. Ant. crud. has, with us, remained more or less in the latter category. Indeed, one's ideas of the Ant. crud. personality resolve themselves into this :—Greedy, fat, sentimental, with sore corners to mouth, and crippled feet. But the drug ought to be considered in cases of “ rheumatic inflammation of muscles. In arthritic affections, with swelling and nodosities. In rheumatic contraction of muscles, with curva ture of limbs ” (Jahr). Then, together with its sentimentality, it has the irresistible desire to talk in rhymes, or to repeat verses : and with its “ ecstatic love ”, it is said to be useful for the bad effects of disappointed affections (Nat. mur.. Calc. phos.).
