![SiLicEA—When heat causes nausea, or other gastric suflFerings, and when neither Antini. nor bryon. suffices to overcome that condition. *J^ Dejection, caused by a highly electrical state of the atmo- sphere, and by hot and oppressive weather, yields, according to cir. cumstances, most frequently to : Bry., carh -v., n.-vom., or silic.

II., Carcinoma. laOammattOllS. — The best antiphlogistic that homcropathy pos- sesses is, undoubtedly, Aconit., and many cases of acute inflammation will yield to this medicine ; but it must not be supposed that Aeon. is in all such cases an infallible specific ; on the contrary, to ensure a good result, it must, like other medicines, be administered only when indicated by the totality of symptoms. There are, in fact, many inflammatory diseases (principally those in which the old school forbids blood-letting) in which the use of Aconit. would only occasion a loss of time, while, on the other hand, there are cases in which this medicine is almost indispensable ; as, for example, in- flammation of the serous membranes, with violent febrile heat, hard and quick pulse, &c. Sulph. is to Chronic what Aconit. is to Acute inflammations; so that those who attribute every chronic disease to hidden inflammation of some organ will find as much reason for reckoning on the extensive efficacy of Sulphur as those who attribute them to psoric virus.— But, as Aconit. is not suitable in all cases of acute inflammation, so neither is Sulph. adapted to all cases of chronic inflammation, but must only be administered when it is evidently indicated by the existing symptoms.
