Curie chose cats for his experiments, the cat being, of all animals, least liable to tuberculosis. He says, " i t is not certain that tubercles have ever been found in cats.” His experiments were only three, “ because of the difficulty of obtaining enough of this small plant for the long time these experiments require ”. " Because,” as he says, ” it is not a question of exciting functional symptoms, depending on the nervous system.” " Tuberculization,” he says, ” is a work of time ; and a drug capable of producing in its action on the organism the formation of tubercles, will require time in which to do so.”* The results of his three experiments were so conclusive that he felt bound to publish them. For he found that the prolonged use of Drosera induces tuberculization in animals ; and he states that its power to cure tuberculization has never failed him. Drosera in Spasmodic Cough, and in Whooping-cough. Hughes talks of the spasmodic cough of Drosera, and how " Hahnemann’s wonted sagacity led him to perceive this, and to recommend the medicine in pertussis ”. But we all try to improve on Hahnemann—with consequent loss of power. Hahnemann states that a single dose of the 30th (the decillionth) potency, is quite sufficient for the cure of epidemic whooping-cough (according to the indications given by certain symptoms which he enumerates). ” The cure takes place,” he says, ” with certainty in from seven to nine days, under a non- medicinal diet.
