ingers and arm; red
streaks along the lymphatic vessels, proceeding from the sting along the
middle finger and arm; inflammatory swelling, spreading all around.
1181: throbbing in the swelling. 1182: wide-spread cellular
inflammation, terminating in resolution. 1224, 1225: swelling and
erysipelatous redness; erysipelatous redness of the toes and feet."

If we add to these remarks, that Apis corresponds to gastric and typhoid
conditions, as was shown before, with remarkable similarity of symptoms,
we find, without doubt, that all known erysipelatous forms of
inflammation are covered by the pathogenetic effects of Apis. Hence we
may with propriety give Apis in these affections. Practical experience
has abundantly confirmed these conclusions. For the last four years, I
have cured readily, safely and easily all forms of erysipelas which have
come under my notice--[oe]dematous, smooth, vesicular, light or dark
colored, seated or wandering, phlegmonous, recent or habitually
recurring, of a light or inveterate character, repelled, among
individuals of every disposition and age. I have never seen all kinds of
pain yield more readily; I have never seen the accompanying fever abate
more speedily; I have never arrested the further spread of erysipelas,
nor effected a resolution of the inflammation of the cellular tissue,
more certainly; nor, if the termination in suppuration was no longer
avoidable, have I ever succeeded in effecting the formation of laudable
pus, the spontaneous discharge of the pus, the radical healing of the
sore without any scar--_how important is all this in erysipelatous
inflammation of the mammae_--with more certainty and thoroughness, than
by means of Apis! No remedy possesses equal powers in protecting
internal organs from the dangerous inroad of this disease.

I effected all this without any other medicinal aid, or without
resorting to an operation. Keeping quiet and dry, and in a uniform
temperature, is all that is required, in order to secure the full
curative action of Apis. In this disease it is used in the same manner
as we have indicated before. If the liver should be very much involved
in this disease, we effect a cure still more rapidly, by alternating
Aconite with Apis, in case inflammation is present; Carduus mariae, in
case of simple inflammatory irritation, and Hepatin, if disorganizations
have already set in. In phlegmonous and suppurative habitual erysipelas,
a cure is generally facilitate
