A VISIT TO A SANATORIUM.*

*F. E. Gladwin, M. D.

Will you kindly imagine yourselves in a Sanatorium where people having stomach troubles are treated? Almost all the families of the Materia Medico world are represented here, but time permits the presentation of only a few.

*Read before the Homeopathic Society of the County of Phila.

There is our old friend, Mr. Arsenicum, walking the floor, down there in the sunshine. He is so restless he tries all the empty beds and chairs in the house at night. He is liable to have anything the matter with his stomach, from simple indigestion after chilling his stomach with ice cream, up to cancer. If he takes the least little drink of cold water it comes up immediately. There is extreme sensitiveness of the stomach, burning in the stomach and oesophagus, everything he swallows burns him, then, when he vomits, that also burns him. He has burning pains almost anywhere, yet heat applied or warm drinks make him feel better. Although he declares that a million little demons are sticking a million little red hot needles into him, still he is cold and wants to be wrapped warmly. He is irritable and anxious, is sure he will die. His pains are intolerable, and drive him to despair. He shudders with the pain.

Mr. Arsenicum's chum, Mr. Phosphorus, is another who is liable to have almost anything the matter with his stomach. If he takes a drink of water it will stay in his stomach long enough to become warm, but no longer. He is full of gloomy forebodings, and is easily angered. He is better in the open air. Both complain of pressure in the stomach, of intense burning, and cramping. In both, the stomach is sensitive to touch; both are worse after eating, but Mr. Phosphorus' pain and vomiting are better after ice or ice water, while cold drinks only aggravate Mr. Arsenicum.

Do you see that emaciated, anæmic woman pacing up and down on the long hot air register? She is very warmly dressed, but she thinks she is almost frozen. That is Mrs. Ferrum Arsenicosum. She seems to be good natured just this minute, but don't contradict her, for you'll find that her moods alternate, she is easily excited, irritable, quarrelsome. She is oversensitive to noise, don't like to talk or hear anyone else talk. She is sensitive to pain, and has plenty of it. Eating or cold drinks cause burning, cramping, pressing, pains in the stomach, and butter makes her sick all over. She dislikes meat, but craves bread and sour things. Cold drinks, fat food, sour things, make her worse. She becomes very tired with that walking, and sits down, then she feels better for a little while, but soon she grows worse again
