eaction in the organism,
exhausts it, and develops artificial derangements, which often mislead
the judgment, and induce an uncalled-for and improper application of
remedial means. Such repetitions are unnecessary; any one who is
acquainted with the action of Natrum mur., will at once perceive that
the psora-destroying effect of this agent had not been neutralized by
Apis. Recovery becomes more and more completely established, and
sometimes terminates in the breaking out of a wide-spread,
bright-looking eruption, resembling recent dry itch, and attended with
the peculiar itching which always exists in this disease. The complete
peeling off of the epidermis shows the true cause of the disease. In a
few cases, an itch-eruption of this kind proved contagious, and
communicated itself to other persons in the family.
A similar course of treatment was pursued, if some other anti-psoric had
to be resorted to, according as one or the other of the three miasms
seemed to require.
_The thoroughness of this treatment of intermittent fevers is proved by
the fact, that no relapses ever took place, or that no secondary
diseases were ever developed._
If these sequelae were the consequences of an abuse of Cinchona, and this
China-cachexia was the source of subsequent paroxysms of fever, I have,
even in such cases, when nothing else would help, seen Apis cure both
the fever and the China-cachexia, in most cases which came under my
treatment. In the most inveterate cases, which had perhaps been
mismanaged in various ways, and where the reactive power of the organism
seemed entirely prostrated, I found it necessary to resort to the
employment of a most penetrating agent, more particularly the 5000th
potency of Natrum muriaticum, which I have so far found the only
sufficiently powerful curative influence under the circumstances. The
rules of administering this potency are the same as those for the
exhibition of the 30th.
Not only does Apis afford help in the affections which habitually and
most generally occur among us; it is likewise in curative rapport with
the

The use of Apis in erysipelas is indicated by: "Nos. 168, 169: great
