"Eyes ameliorated by moonlight". "Large letters cannot be distinguished". "Yellow, crescentshapedbodies floating obliquely upward in field of vision". "In upper dark section of field of visionoccasional showers of bright, star-like bodies".In Calcarea there is a queer symptom; he sees a sudden flash arise from the lower portion of thefield of vision; it shoots up and divides, and then he sees stars in every direction. It is the appearanceyou will see sometimes in the shooting off of one of those rockets that explode and come down in ashower. that has been observed in Calcarea. "Hemiopia of the left eye". And so it goes on with many ofthese peculiar things that can hardly be described except in the language of the text. "Protruding eyes".Protrusion of the eyes, such as occurs in exophthalmic goiter, with enlargement of the heart, hasbeen cured by Aurum.Enlargement of the thyroid gland with rapid and full pulse.Exophthalmic goiter has been cured by Aurum, Natr-mur. Staring, dreary look". "Iritis markedby much pain around eye, which seems to be deep in bone". Such a state would be likely to beproduced by syphilis that had been treated with Mercury and Aurum would come in as an antidote toboth the syphilis and the Mercury."Pupils irregularly dilated". It has catarrhal states of the eye.It has inflammation of the conjunctiva, choroid, iris and retina.Well, syphilis does this, taking hold of the eye in just this way and causing great infiltration.Pains round about the eye; the thin plate bones, and the skull bones are all sensitive to pressure;thebones seem tender; periostitis; opacity of the cornea.Syphilis often takes hold of the ear, affecting the bones of that organ. "Caries of mastoidprocess, obstinate otorrhoea".Caries of the bones of the ear. "Parotids swollen, painful to touch". "Oversensitiveness tonoises; but music relieves"."Humming, buzzing and rushing in ears". Rushing like the rushing of wind and falling water."Annoying dryness in ears and nose".This is all like the complains of syphilis, which are cured by Aurum, but Aurum alsocorresponds to and has cured many times otorrhoea following scarlet fever where there is even entireloss of the drum of the ear and loss of the bones. Of course it does not restore hearing. Patients willcome to you for ear troubles, and you may find that the whole ear apparatus is destroyed; the mucousmembrane and bones of the ear are all in a state of ulceration and necrosis and the discharge is fetid.The patient consults you in order to have the hearing restored and it may not be possible; stop that thatear discharge and restore the hearing are the only two things he thinks about. If you go today to our earspecialists and speak about curing the patient, they would not know what you were talking about; theonly thing that would be thought of would be the stopping of that ear discharge as quickly as possible.They would examine the ear to see whether it is intact or not; and if it is not, the hearing is of coursegone and the stopping of the discharge is then all that is taken into consideration. Homeopathy teachesthat the Patient should be treated and the patient only, after which the organs and tissues becomenormal. The whole duty of the physician is to restore health to the patient. We have the nose specialistswith their local applications. These things will only bring on bone disease, and tubercular troubles; theystop the discharge from the nose, and of course nature must have a vent somewhere and so sheestablishes a discharge in the chest: the trouble progresses from the mucous membranes into the lung,into the parenchyma of the lungs, and is often of a tubercular character, and then these men tell you thebacilli have come. This is spurious science. Clean, healthy tissues are the only safeguard.Aurum is full of nasal troubles, with fetid discharge. The bones of the nose necrose; syphiliticnecrosis, the nose flattens down; the bones are discharged. You see these people walking about withflattened-down nose and if you get near enough to them the stench will be observed. They are nearly allsyphilitics. A few remedies have the power of curing this syphilitic nose condition; Aurum, Mercuryand Hepar are three of them. I have cured this state a number of times with Hepar. I once cured a manafter the bones were completely softened so that when the nose was handled it would bend right over;only a sort of cartilaginous structure held the nose in place. I gave that patient Hepar. It cured him ofsyphilis after he had been filled in vain with Mercury. "Coryza, thick discharge, like white of egg.Mucous discharge from posterior nares in morning". Tip of nose knobby, red, like Lach.; strawberrynose. Little knobs on the nose composed of varicose veins in heart cases, with disturbance of the rightside of the heart; sometimes found in old drinkers and in heart affections generally. Face red andswollen. Aurum has cured epithelioma of the wing of the nose and lip. Remember the horriblyoffensive odor from the nose, loss of smell following pains in the nasal bones; nasal catarrh."Ulcerated, agglutinated. painful nostrils". "Crusts in nose".
