red, seem to compensate or complete each other. I
am unable to say how far this proceeding requires to be modified in
particular cases; all I desire to do, is to submit this important
subject to my colleagues for further inquiry and trial.

If a tendency to paralysis prevails, the danger is less threatening,
although equally momentous. In such cases I use Apis and Moschus in
alternation, although I am unable to assert, on account of deficient
experience, that this treatment will always prove satisfactory. Such
cases hardly ever arise under hom[oe]opathic treatment; and if they come
to us out of the hands of all[oe]opathic practitioners, they generally
prove incurable.

If these three obstacles to a cure appear combined, I have never found
it possible to effect any thing. All that I have found it possible to
do, has been to prevent such a dreadful combination by carefully
attending to my patients in previous diseases.

Sometimes in typhus, the affection of the spleen shows itself again,
even after recovery has fairly set in; the intermittent type again
breaks forth, and recovery finally takes place, as the intermissions
become more and more distinct and lengthened. As long as the
intermittent type continues, Apis has to be given; the action of the
spleen becomes more and more normal, the fever paroxysms become shorter
and less marked, and the restoration of health is effected without any
more treatment than a single dose of Apis 30, one globule, which is
permitted to act until the patient is well.

Observations of this kind, which I have made under the most diversified
circumstances, have taught me that Apis is _the most sovereign remedy
for all those morbid processes which we designate as_ INTERMITTENT
FEVER.

The following symptoms indicate the hom[oe]opathicity of Apis to
intermittent fever:

"1081: every afternoon about three or four o'clock she feels chilly,
shivering, worse in warmth; a chilly creeping along the back, the hands
seem dead; in about an hour she feels feverish and hot, with rough
cough, hot hands and cheeks, without thirst; these symptoms pass off
gradually, after which she feels heavy and prostrate. 1088: chilliness
all over, recurring periodically, with an undulating sensation. 1089:
chill after a heat of thirty-six hours. 1090: sudden chilliness,
followed by heat and sweat. 499: loathing, with chilliness and coldness
of the limbs. 534: pains on the left side, below the last ribs. 535:
