HAGEE'S CORDIAL.-In children convalescing from acute infectious diseases, whooping cough, bronchitis and similar affections. Cord. Ext. Ol. Morrhuae Comp. (Hagee) is always indicated; nor is it necessary to dwell upon the fact that in scrofulosis, rickets and other diseases of malnutrition there is nothing better than Cord. Ext. Ol. Morrhuae Comp. (Hagee), and it has always been relied upon in tuberculosis. On account of its palatability patients will take it in quantoties and long enough to secure results.

*PSORINUM.

BY. C. W. ENOS, M. D.

SORINUM is closely allied to sulphur.

The patient dreads to be washed. The skin over the body, especially

the face, looks filthy, though it has been well washed. A dingy, dirty, foul look, as if covered with dirt. Sk'n rough and uneven, cracks easily, bleeding fissures; it becomes. rough and scaly. He cannot wash it clean. The skin of the hands is rough, chaps easily, becomes thick and scaly, easily cracks; breaks out in little scaly eruptions; looks unwashed; he always appears to have dirty hands. Many of the complaints of the skin are worse from bathing and from the warmth of the bed. The skin itches when warm; itches when wearing woolens. Itching when warm in bed; he scratches until the part becomes raw, and then it becomes scabby. When healing takes place there is itching and then he has to scratch. Legs and arms raw and scabby from scratching. Violent itching from the warmth of the bed, even without any eruption. The skin is unhealthy, looks dirty, gray, dingy; studded with capillary blood vessels and enlarged veins. Th's is the state before the eruption appears. Scabs form from scratching and then comes the eruption. Papules, pimples, crusts, boils, vesicles, and eruptions ooze a watery moisture. When the eruption has gone on for some time the crusty formation and vesicles m'ngle; the skin becomes thickened and indurated, and new crops come out under the old crusts; rawness, itching, tingling, crawling, bleeding.

Eczema of the scalp and face; the crusts cover the whole scalp; the hair falls out; the oozing lifts up the crusts and exposes new vesicles; it looks raw like raw beef, and it tingles so that the child cannot keep its fingers off it; worse at night. worse from the warmth of the bed, worse from warm applications, anything that would keep the air away from it; ameliorated by cool air and worse from covering. This is the very opposite of the general fsorinum state, which is aggravated from the open air. He wants to get away from the

open air. The eruption goes on, spreads, and the true skin becomes elevated, thickened, indurated, with an increased vascularity and redness. The oozing is offensive like carrion or decomposed meat; nauseating, sickening odor from the oozing fluid.

Offensiveness runs through psorinum in such a characteristic way that it is worth while mentioning it here; foetid odors, stinking odors, foetid breath; discharges and oozings from the skin smelling like carrion; stool so offensive that the odor permeates the whole house, in d'arrhoea, summer complaint, cholera infantum; perspiration foetid; leucorrhoea abominably offensive; eructations taste as if he had eaten hard boiled eggs and they had spoiled, and they smell so to others; stool, flatus, and eructations smell like spoiled eggs; offensive to sight and smell is the subject who needs this medicine.

The skin grows increasingly thick and bleeds, and the eruption spreads to other parts. Eruptions on the lips, on the genitals; very offensive; soreness and rawness about the anus; the vulva ulcerates and is very offensive; ulcers on the legs where the flesh is thin on the tibiae; on the backs of the hands; on the dorsum of the foot; behind the ears and upon the ears; over the scalp; over the cheek bones; on the wings of the nose and on the nose and eyelids. Greasy skin. The eruption is accompanied by redness of the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, lips and eyes. Eyelids thickened and turned out, like ectropion; granulation and induration of mucous membranes, so that they become like gristle; redness and ulceration. Ulceration of the cornea; lachrymation; turning out of the lids with loss of the eye lashes. He looks frightful with his red eyes, eruption on the face, red skin oozing a thick yellow discharge. In the early stages the oozing is a whitish thin or whitish thick moisture. In old eruptions ulceration takes place beneath the crusts and there is a thick, yellow, purulent discharge. Yellow-green discharge from the eyes and nose. Horr bly offensive discharge from the nose; gluey discharge from the nose; offensive like merc., sil., calc-p., hep. Accumulation of foetid pus in the eyes.

Coryza with thick, yellow discharge. Always taking cold. In the coryza the nose dries up part of the time and runs part of the time; he must use the handkerchief continually; must blow the nose all the time. In the early stages of the coryza the nose is dry, yet he blows it all the time but

there is no discharge or relief. This state is so marked that some think of it as a continuous hay fever, which runs all the year and ripens up in the fall. It is closely related to hay fever; stuffing up of the nose in the fall; catarrhal state of the eyes and nose. Hay fever is one of the most difficult conditions to fit a remedy to. It belongs to a low constitution which must be built up before the hay fever will cease. It is an expression of psora which comes once a year, and the psoric miasm must be changed. In a few years most subjects can be changed but not in one season, so do not be disappointed. In catarrhal states, hay fever often dates back to low fever improperly treated.

The psorinum patient himself is one of debility. Hé wants to go home after a short walk. He is worse in the open air. He cannot breathe in the open air; cannot breathe while he is standing up; wants to go home and le down so that he can breathe. Asthma or cardiac dyspnoea, when the patient wants to go home and lie down so that he can breathe. Usually this condition is relieved by sitting up and from the open air. Not so with psorinum, he wants a warm place and to le down and to be let alone.

Psorinum is slowed down in all of its functions; a state of paretic weakness. He does not rally after a fever; his digestion is slow; the stool is normal yet it requires a great effort to expel it; the bladder is full of urine yet it passes slowly and he feels that some remains; he can never finish stool or urination; he has to go back several times. Although the stool is soft and perfectly normal it cannot be expelled at one sitting.

A psoric patient comes down with typho'd; the typhoid has been arrested or has run its course and now it is time for convalesence. The fever has subsided, but the patient has no appetite; he does not convalesce; he wants to lie down and does not desire to be moved; he is worse when sitting up, lies upon h ́s back; he has troublesome breathing and lies with his arms abducted from his side, thrown across the bed; this relieves his breathing and allows the chest to operate properly so tired and so weak; one dose of psorinum will cause a reaction, stop his sweat, increase his appetite, cause better breathing.

The mental symptoms present some strong features. Sadness, hopelessness; he sees no light breaking through the clouds above his head; all is dark about him. He thinks his

business is going to be a failure-that he is going to the poorhouse; that he has sinned away his day of grace. It is a fixed idea during the day and he dreams about it at night. Overwhelming sadness; dejection; he takes no joy in his family; feels that these things are not for him. His business is prosperous, yet he feels as if he were going to the poor house. No joy or realization of benefit. Extremely irritable, wants to be alone. Does not want to be washed. Full of anxiety, even to suicide. Despair of recovery if sick.

Though there is no eruption at night he is driven to despair by the continual itching. If he throws the covers off then he becomes chilly; if he covers up then there is itching. Sensitive to cold yet the skin is worse from heat. Tingling, itching, formication, crawling like ants running over the surface, as of insects in the skin.

Especially suited to broken down individuals, who have vertigo as soon as they go into the open air; become dizzy and want to go home and lie down; afraid they will lose their breath.

Old chronic periodic headaches with hunger, and often the hunger lasts during the whole headache; must get up at night to get something to eat. The headache is sometimes improved by eating. If he goes without a meal he has a headache. Violent rush of blood to the head, hot face, har wet with the perspiration, hunger. Every one, two or three weeks a recurrent headache. Every time the air blows on his head it slacks up the catarrh and a headache comes on. Either coryza or headache from catching cold. Headache is viclent, throbbing, pecking as of little hammers, red face, hot head-congestive; at times sweat. Hungry headache in such as have a dry cough in winter. Dry, teasing, racking cough with no expectoration. If the cough ceases he has a periodic headache. So complaints alternate. Headache goes and cough appears or eruption in winter alternating with headache.

Scalp cold wears fur cap in summer; worse uncovering the head (sl.), worse from getting the hair cut (bell., glon., sep.). Hepar is also worse from cold.

Salt rheum, psoriasis in winter. Dry, cold weather, cold wet weather; washing in cold water; dish washing, aggravate the salt rheum. "Hair dry, lusterless, tangles easily. glues together; must comb it continually."

Chronic offensive otorrhoea; thick, purulent, offensive,
