Ipecac. has a wide sphere of action among acute sickness. Most of its acute complaints commence with nausea, vomiting. The febrile conditions commence with pain in the back between the shoulders, extending down the back, as if it would break, with or without rigors, much fever, vomiting of bile and seldom any thirst. This is the general aspect of the beginning of an Ipecac. fever or gastric. trouble or chill in intermittents or bilious attacks. The stomach is disordered. There is a sense of fullness in the stomach, cutting pains in the stomach and below the stomach, going from left to right. The cutting pain in colic goes from left to right. The patient is unable to stir or breathe until that pain passes off. It holds him transfixed in one position, coming like the stabbing of a knife in the region of the stomach, or above the navel, going from left to right, and is attended with prostration and nausea. Nausea: All the complaints in Ipecac. are attended more or less with nausea; every little pain and distress is attended with nausea. The sufferings seem to centre about the stomach, bringing on nausea. There is continuous nausea, and gagging. The cough causes nausea and vomiting. It is a dry, hacking, teasing, suffocative cough, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. He coughs until his face grows red, and then there is choking and gagging. With every little gush of blood from any part of the body there is nausea, fainting and sinking. Hence its value in uterine hemorrhages; bright, red blood with nausea; a little blood is attended with fainting or syncope, but the great overwhelming nausea runs through the complaints of this remedy. Though there is sometimes thirst, it is usually absent. When Ipecac.

the asthma, which is “ better than for years The prescription was consequent on this attempt to produce a Drug-Picture of ipecac. By the way, a clever old homoeopathic chemist used to say, " The young doctors make good prescriptions, because they are reading up Materia Medica.” But—we should all do that— incessantly : and certainly writing up drugs, and teaching drugs, does, or ought to, teach oneself. Who uses Ipecacuanha for " skins ”? Our books say, indeed, that it may be useful to bring out suppressed eruption^. As in scarlet fever, etc., “ eruptions suppressed, or tardily appearing, with oppression of the chest ; vomiting and tickling cough ”. In erysipelas, “ where the redness disappears, with vomiting ” . And it has “ Itching of the skin, with nausea ; has to scratch till he vomits ” And Hale White says, that ipecac, applied to the skin is a powerful irritant, produces redness, vesication and pustulation. Now first, we will condense a few cases from Cyclopedia of Drug Pathogenesy, which show the effects of crude ipecacuanha on sensitives, and thus point to the help it may give in the potencies to patients rendered thus sensitive by disease. 1. Poisonings : from pulverizing Ipecac, root. Inhaled a quantity of the dust, which caused him to vomit three times and gave him oppression of the chest. He left off pounding it, but one hour later had the most violent attack of suffocation, constriction of windpipe and throat, earthy cadaverous complexion, the most frightful anxiety during the suffocative attack. These symptoms increased every minute . . . after five hours he thought he would be suffocated. Respiratory symptoms lasted for several days, though in a more moderate degree. 2. Mrs.
