Ferrum iodatum — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
(Iron: the Metal) The very word Ferrum suggests anaemia, and, possibly, to many of us nothing else : while perhaps few of us associate Iron, apart from anaemia, with digestive troubles. We are wrong : Iron, the Stomach, and Anaemia may form three sides of a triangle. And the eccentricities of the stomach may be causative of the most deadly form of " bloodlessness ” ; since pernicious anaemia is said to be curable, as we recently pointed out, when meat, digested in a normal stomach, is withdrawn and administered to a patient with that disease. . . . In pernicious anaemia there is a deficiency of normal gastric secretions ; and we are learning to regard Ferrum as one of the great stomach remedies. One remembers in one " stomach ” case, feeling surprised at having to prescribe Ferrum : but it filled the picture and therefore worked. And why not ? Consider its symptoms : “ After eating, heat in stomach and regurgitation of food ” (Phos.) ; “ spasmodic pressure in stomach after the least food and drink. After fat food, hitter eructations. After eggs, vomiting. Worse from meat, sour fruits, drinking milk, after tobacco, tea, heer. Bad effects from drinking tea. Vomiting of everything eaten, without being digested.” As a matter of fact, one has not had a very wide clinical experience of the “ virtues ” of metallic Iron. In anaemia one has used Ferrum protoxalate (said to be more easily absorbed) ; and in early “ colds ” and even in pneumonias with few dis criminating symptoms, one has seen rapid improvement under Ferrum phos. That being so, more will be learned from the quotations we have culled to help to its successful use. But, in future one will take Ferrum met. into consideration in attempting to treat varicose conditions.
