One or two provers had many symptoms, and so not all are reliable; but this remedy so intensifies the imagination and senses that it would be easy for them to imagine symptoms, and that itself is suggestive. Full of imaginations and harassing, tormenting thoughts. Wandering features in the mental sphere, wandering and alternating states. Cannot collect the thoughts. She wants to leave everything as soon as it is commenced, a condition of irresolution common to quite a number of remedies. She is impressed with the idea that all she says is not so, thinks everything she says is a lie, as if there is no reality in the things that be. In this it is somewhat analogous to Alumina in which the patient feels as if someone else and not himself were saying everything, a lack of consciousness of the reality of things. Every time a symptom appears she thinks it is a settled disease fear and anxiety that some horrible disease has come upon her, a delusion that she was suppurating and in a loathsome state; infested with makes. Horrible sights are presented to the mental vision, nor always makes, and she fears the objects will take form and present themselves to her eyes. This is analogous to Lach., which has the feeling that the atmosphere is full of hovering spirits, although he never sees them. Imagines he wears someone else's nose. Imagines she is not herself and her properties not her own. Imagines she sees spiders, snakes, vermin. She cannot bear to be alone.
Lac caninum — general · James Tyler Kent
History: A beginning in this remedy was made by Dr Nisip and after Reisig it was used by Bayard. After Bayard's death Dr. Dyer gave me a vial of the 30 th potency, made by Reisig, from which the potencies have mostly been made. All the milks should be potentized, they are our most excellent remedies, they are animal products and foods of early animal life and therefore correspond to the beginning of our innermost physical nature. If we had full provings of monkey's, cow's, mate's and human milk they would be of great value. Lac defloratum has done excellent work, and so has this remedy. Lac caninum is in its beginnings yet, although it has made some marvelous cures, but many of its symptoms axe doubtful and it would take a century to confirm them. Some may think because the milk are only food for the young they are not medicine, but let one who is made sick from milk take it in potentized form and report the result. Provers who dislike milk will become sick from taking it in potencies in a few days, and their symptoms are very numerous. This remedy abounds in nervous symptoms, although it has no doubt tissue changes as well. It is deep and long acting; the provers felt its symptoms for years after the proving was made. The mental symptoms are prolonged and distressing. It has cured enlarged glands. It makes ulcers very red, and it has cured such ulcers. Ulcerated areas have a dry, glistening appearance as if coated with epithelium. It is an important remedy in complaints following badly treated diphtheria, in paralysis and other conditions dating back to diphtheria. The greater number of its symptoms belong to the nervous system.

Swallowing very difficult, painful, almost impossible. Soreness of throat begins with a tickling sensation, which causes constant cough ; then sensation of lump on one side, causing constant deglutition ; this condition entirely ceases, only to commence on the opposite side, and often alternates, again returning to its first condition; these sore throats are very apt to begin and end with the menses. Tonsils inflamed and very sore, red and shining, almost closing throat; dryness of fauces and throat; swelling of submaxillary glands. Diphtheritic membrane white like china ; mucous membrane of throat glistening as if varnished ; membranes leave one side and go to the other repeatedly. Desire for warm drinks, which may return through the nose. Post-diphtheritic paralysis. Serviceable in almost all cases where it is required to dry up milk. When walking seems to be walking on air : when lying does not seem to touch the bed. Erratic disposition of symptoms : pains constantly flying from one part to another. Great fear : of falling downstairs : of inability to perform duties. Fear of death, with anxious face. Wakes distressed : must rise and occupy herself. Fear she will be crazy : that any symptom is some settled disease : that everything she says is a lie : that she is looked down upon by everyone : that she is of no importance : that she is dirty : that she wears someone else’s nose : that she sees spiders. That she is surrounded by myriads of snakes. Some running like lightning up and down inside skin ; some inside feel long and thin. Fears to step on floor lest she should tread on them, and make them squirm and wind round her legs. (Compare Arg.
Lac caninum — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
(Dog's Milk) 4*5 In early medical days, unwilling to tie oneself down, even by coming on the Hospital Staff, and being only desirous of “ keeping ones hand in ” , and getting experience by helping in various out patient clinics (general medical, gynaecological, and the departments fof children's diseases and nerve diseases), one filled in half days all the week round, and took the place of absentees, and worked on in this desultory way from the day of qualification in 1903 till 1914, when one sought and was reluctaAtly given a Staff appoint ment :—reluctantly, because the, then, medical staff had an idea of raising the status of the hospital by excluding any doctors who could not boast the ” highest qualifications ” , M.D. Lond. being the desideratum. Well^ in those far-off days a certain woman presented herself in the Gynaecology Department complaining of ovarian pain ; which appeared first on one side, crossed to the other, and then went back, always. The physician in charge was horrified at the obvious prescription, Lac can. “ Why give such a dnig ? ”—to him most repulsive. However, when she next turned up, a month later, the pain had, of course, disappeared. It was quite a nice little introduction to Lac can. These are the things that rivet a drug in the memory : and establish it as a Power, and, as such, certainly not to be despised. By the way, while we are telling tales out of school, the same doctor was greatly disgusted at the idea of TuberctUinunt as a medicine. " I would not take it myself, and would not give it to my patients." . . . Wee globules, mark you ! medicated with a highly potentized alcoholic preparation, probably the 30th in those days, that is to say, one in a deciUion, and given by the mouth.
