Palladium metallicum — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
We were proposing to take Palladium for our Drug Picture this month, so like in some of its rare and peculiar symptoms to Platinum : but Dr. Patrick, of Bexhill, has kindly sent us an interesting résumé of this little-known remedy, and we will gratefully produce his paper, only prefacing if with a few remarks and comparisons. Palladium, as the Dictionary has it, is “ A statue of Pallas, on the preservation of which the safety of ancient Troy depended. Any safeguard. A rare metal in colour and ductility resembling Platinum.” Palladium was introduced as a drug, and proved in 1850, by Constantine Hering and his band of provers. It had been proposed as a remedy previously as early as 1833. We are told that Platina and Palladium, both proved in dust form, showed such similarity in their effects that the question arose whether corresponding differences might be found. A very striking mental symptom common to the two drugs is the sensation of tallness. Both are proud and haughty : and with both this extends into the physical sphere, and they feel tall, while things around them look small and insignificant. Stramonium also imagines he is large and tall, and surrounding objects small. {Cop.) Palladium, with Platina, has much uterine bearing down. With Plat, the sensation may be, as if the uterus would come out. Apparently Plat, affects the uterus more, Pall, the ovaries, especially the right ovary. But, in prescribing these remedies, it is the peculiar mentality—the haughtiness, the overbearing : the sensation of tallness, etc., which distinguishes these rarer drugs from Sepia, with its dull indifference, or Lilium tigr. with its aimless hurry, and its worries, mental and even spiritual. A symptom, a locality, do not make up a prescription !
