Aurum metallicum
auru-metGold
Given full play, Aurum develops in the organism, by attacking the blood, glands, and bone, conditions bearing striking resemblance to mercurial and syphilitic infections; and it is just for such deteriorations of the bodily fluids and alterations in the tissues, that Aurum assumes great importance as a remedy. Like the victim of syphilis, mental states of great depression are produced by it. Hopeless, despondent, and great desire to commit suicide. Every opportunity is sought for self-destructi

Aurum metallicum — mind · James Tyler Kent
The general features of the remedy are such as relate to the mind and such as relate to the tissues of the body in general. If you run through the mental symptoms, taking them all in as one great whole, you will see that all the affections, natural to healthy man, are perverted. So great in extent is this that one of the fundamental loves, which is the love of living, of self-protection, is perverted and he loathes life, is weary of life, longs to die and seeks methods to commit suicide. No love of life. The affections pre-eminently are deranged, the intellectual sphere is only secondarily changed. Of course insanity runs through the remedy, but it is an insanity that begins in the will and proceeds to the intellect; it is first observed as a perversion of the affections. It is astonishing that one could get into such a state of mind, such horrible depression of spirits that there is an absolute loss of enjoyment in everything. You take away a man's hope, and he has nothing to live for, he then wants to die.

condition of boys—low-spirited, lifeless, memories bad ; lacking in boyish go Nash says, “ I once cured a young lady who tried to commit suicide by drowning ” (with Aurum). “ A »ter she was cured she laughed at the occurrence, and said she could not help it. It seemed to her she was no use in the world. She felt so.” (One remembers a man, deeply depressed and hopeless, in the out-patient department, years ago. A ururn was prescribed. And as he went out, ” You will come and see me in a month’s time ? ” “ I shall not be alive ! ” But he did come, and he said, ” I have forgotten all that nonsense ! ”) Gold is a great remedy for over dosing with mercury in the treatment of venereal disease. Nash says, ” There would be a great falling off of business for physicians if the old school could learn to cure their patients without poisoning them with drugs ” . ' He says, “ Aurum is one of our best remedies for bone pains. Never forget it ”. And now let Kent, that great prescriber and vivid writer, take up the tale. . . . “ In Aurum all the affections, natural to healthy man, are per verted. So great in extent is this that one of the fundamental loves, which is the love of living, of self-protection, is perverted, and he loathes life, is weary of life, longs to die and seeks methods to commit suicide. . . .
