SULPHUR WITH ITS THERAPEUTIC EFFECT
By O.S. Sanders, M.D., Boston. Sulphur is combustible, simple element, and although supposed to contain hydrogen, is classed in the mineral kingdom. It has been said that Sulphur is the king of remedies, around which centres the whole Materia Medica, and all because it has been credited with greather exciting forces to produce curative results than any other drug, especially in chronic diseases. There is one well-defined...
ACIDIUM NITRICUM
The great importance of Nitric Acid in practice appears to me to be founded, almost like that of the gold, in the abuse of Mercury. It is mostly the antidotal virtues of this remedy which makes it one of the most important of our Materia Medica Although this medicament is known to the Allopaths, too, in this regard, it can hardly be possible to see so many cure with it in the common large doses as prescribed by them as with the mild...
MORAL, IN ADVANCE: SUBSCRIBE FOR HAHNEMANN’S CHRONIC DISEASES

However much we may be willing to tolerate a...
SOLAR THERAPEUTICS
In a recent paper read before the San Francisco County Medical Society (Southern California Practitioner), Dr. O.V. Thayaer, of that city, contributed some decidedly original and, perhaps, very useful, information to the medical world. From that paper we condense the following. Dr. Thayaer treats the diseases named, by the concentrated rays of the sun (solar cautery), to wit: Capillary aneurisms, varicose veins, indolent, chancroidal...
THE VIRUS OF PHTHISIS- WHAT SHALL WE CALL IT
By J. Compton Burnett, M.D., London. A kind friend sends me the Medical Advance December, 1893, and on page 193 begins a paper on “Tuberculinum,” by Dr. H.P.Holmes, of Omaha. I have read this paper, which breaks no new ground, and I feel rather disappointed to find all its infomation secured in third hand, excepting always Dr. Holmes’s own experience with the remedy, Bacillinum. The only point I take up is where Dr. Holmes charges me...
