Every patient who had a fast heart, or anything the matter with the heart, was given Digitalis.It has caused more deaths than any drug. If administered when the heart is going fast it will soonproduce a peculiar kind of paralysis; the heart then having lost its balance-wheel, compensation givesout, the patient sinks and finally dies. They do not know that many patients would have lived throughfevers, pneumonia and other acute diseases if it had not been for this medicine, used as they have usedit in the tincture, in many-drop doses, until the heart was slowed down.They call it sedative; yes, it is a sedative. It makes the patient very sedate. You have seen howvery sedate a patient looks after he has been in the hands of an undertaker and has on his best garments.That is what Digitalis does. In that way it is a sedative in the hands of the allopath. A homoeopathicphysician never prescribes to bring down the pulse. He prescribes for the patient and the heart's actiontakes care of itself.Digitalis is a very poor fever medicine. Instead of being indicated when the pulse is fast, theproving says it is indicated when the pulse is slow.It produces a great disturbance of the liver. "Congestion and enlargement of the liver. Sorenessof the liver". Tenderness about the liver---but during that time the pulse is slow. It makes the bowelsvery sluggish, produces inactivity of the liver, and stools are bileless, light colored, putty like---and thepulse is slow. Add to that jaundice and you have a grand picture of Digitalis. Jaundice, with slow pulse,with uneasiness in the liver, pale stool, and even if you have never seen or heard of Digitalis before you
