Kreosotum — general · James Tyler Kent
Characteristics: There are three things that stand out most prominently in Kreosotum, and when they appear together the symptoms in minor degree will be likely to be associated. These three characteristics are: 1. Excoriating discharges; 2. Pulsations all over the body, and 3. Profuse bleeding from small wounds. When these three things arc associated in a high degree Kreosote should be examined. A prick of a pin will cause the oozing of bright red- blood, and mucous membranes bleed easily. Any pressure upon the mucous membranes will cause oozing. Bleeding here and there about the body. The lachrymation is excoriating. It excoriates the margins of the lids and checks, and they become red and raw, and smart. If there is a purulent discharge it is acrid. The corners of the lips and mouth are red and raw, and' the saliva burns and smarts. The moisture about the mouth, whatever it may be, excoriates and the mouth is raw. The eyes smart and burn as if raw. The leucorrhoea causes smarting and burning about the vulva, so that the mucous surfaces of the labia are red and raw, sometimes inflamed, but always burning. The vagina burns during coition, and there is bleeding after coition; granulations of the vagina and os uteri, so that the pressure of the act of coition brings on bleeding and burning, smarting and excoriation. And the male organ will smart and burn after coming in contact with the secretion of the vagina during coition. The urine burns and smarts. This tendency to excoriation from the excretions and secretions applies to all the tissues of the body. Every emotion and exciting circumstance is attended with throbbing all over the body, pulsations to the ends of the fingers.

Kreosotum — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
(A product of distillation of Wood Tar) Another of the “ offensive ” drugs. Its vile odours are those of fntiridity. “ Putrid odour from the mouth. Diphtheria with terrible fetor oris. * -Decomposition of mucous membrane, throat. Cadaverous smelling vomiting. Putrid stools. Urine fetid. Putrid state of the womb after childbirth. Leucorrhoea ; putrid, acrid. Lochia ; blackish, lumpy, very offensive ; excoriating. Septic pharyngitis, with softening and degeneration of mucous membrane of larynx, and especially of oesophagus. Gangrene of lungs. Putrid fever. Tendency to decomposition.” Putrid, then, and Acrid. Excoriation of mucous membranes generally. Withal, rapid emaciation. One of the drugs of despairing conditions. But it alleviates, and when things have not gone too far (symptoms agreeing) may cure. One has personally experienced the great value of Kreosotum in a few striking cases not easily forgotten. As, for example : Some twenty years ago an old woman was brought into our hospital, dying of bronchitis, with fearful-smelling breath and sputum ; it was almost impossible to go near her screened bed. Two or three doses of Kreosote 200 entirely changed the picture— rapidly : and she made a good recovery. Again, in cancer of the uterus, especially of cervix, with terrible offensiveness and bloody, fetid oozings, Kreosotum has at least palliated and made the neighbourhood of the patient bearable. One has also used Kreosotum in potency for wee children on the indication ; ” teeth decay as soon as erupted ”.
