Digitalis is the most reliable remedy tomoderate the hectic fever, but the dose must not be too small. Noshould the dose be excessively large, because large doses are aptexcite the patient.Natrum muriatlcum is only useful in chronic cases, attended withsevere disturbances of the cardiac functions.IMillefolium is an important domestic remedy for tuberculosis.Our provings point to it as such, but clinical results are stillwanting.Sulphur, which is too often mentioned as a remedy for phthisis, inot, in our opinion, adapted to a single case of this disease ; whave used it frequently, but have never seen it do any good ; wheit is said to have produced a good effect, chronic pneumonia hasprobably been confounded with tuberculosis.Concerning the best method of applying all these drugs in practice, views differ considerably. The more striking these differenare, the more earnestly we recommend the golden mean not only inrespect to^the size, but likewise in respect to the repetition ofdose. The attenuations from the third to the sixth are generallysufficient; lower attenuations are scarcely ever necessary, higheones are unreliable. We do not like to give more than one dose aday of the appropriate remedy, sometimes only one dose every twoor three days. If a remedy has once been selected, it should notgiven up too soon ; if the improvement under it seems to stand sta lower attenuation had better be used before the medicine isentirely abandoned. If this should have been found necessary, andthe remedy that is chosen after the former, likewise proves ineffectual, it may be well to return once more to the last remedy thseemed to improve the case. A change of this kind sometimes hasa very good effect. We would likewise warn against a medicinebeing given for every little symptom and a strictly symptomatictreatment being indulged in. This is decidedly injurious and maydefeat all chances of a successful termination.This now leads us to mention a few remedies that are not contained in our Materia Medica Pura. As regards Cod-liver oil, even678 Constitutional Diseases without Definite Infection.the PhyBiological School admits that it acts well in phthisis.

That thitheory is erroneous, can easily be shown by some other oil beingsubstituted for cod-liver oil ; the same effect will not be obtaiThe small quantity of Iodine is suflScient for the homceopath toaccount for the action of the oiL That it should be used withcaution, has already been stated at the conclusiJh of our chapteron scrofulosis ; the same maxims that were laid down on that occasion, are likewise applicable to phthisis, so much more as it isdecidedly injurious to phthisicky patients to have their appetitedisturbed and their normal digestion interfered with. The doseshould likewise be carefully measured; a tablespoonful in themorning is sufficient, two spoonfuls at a time are a very big dosIt is decidedly improper to prescribe a spoonful morning and evening. A morning-dose is sufficient ; in the evening the oil disagrwith most persons. No other medicine should be given with codliver oil.Whey-cures which have found great favor with many, have agreat deal against them in cases of perfectly develoi)ed phthisisthey render the stomach very sensitive. For our own part, weprefer the therapeutic use of milk, provided the same rigid dietpursued in connection with a milk-cure that is indispensable whena whey-cure is pursued. Milk does not agree, if the patients induat the same time in a luxurious mode of living, and a highlyseasoned diet. Nor should it be overlooked that milk is a verysubstantial kind of nourishment, and that hence it should not beused as a mere beverage, but should be taken in the place of othefood, as a regular meal.Mineral-waters are highly recommended for tuberculosis, but wemust confess that we are not acquainted with a single kind thateffects only a tolerably favorable change. The weak chalybeatesprings sometimes render good service in the same manner as medicinal preparations of Iron ; only they have to be used with greatcaution. In other respects spas are not more beneficial than asojourn in a beautiful country, accompanied by a suitable mode ofliving generally.A prolonged stay in an elevated region of country has undoubtedly a directly healing influence over phthisis, although the curseldom complete. We believe that living in a mid-mountain atmosTuberculosis, 679phere is better than all climatic cure-places; it facilitates resincreases the capacity of the lungs, and hardens the organism generally. The unusual results obtained by Dr. Brehmer in Gorbersdorf abundantly testify to the excellence of his curative methodwhich is entirely based upon the action of attenuated atmosphericair. No physician should leave these results unnoticed, since itbe possible to send the patient into a high region of country witout changing the climate to which he is habituated.We do not think much of systematic cure-places, such as Cairo,Madeira, Algiers, Pisa, Venice, Nice, Meran, etc. ; they never exa directly curative influence, but are only useful by preventinghttp://www.archive.org/stream/sciencetherapeu00kafkgoog/sciencetherapeu00kafkgoog_djvu.txt
