    —different states of atmosphere and planetary and elec¬ trical conditions—produce different symptoms, hence, arise the multitude of names. Natr. sulph will prevent yellow fever by furnishing the blood with the tools to eliminate the excess of water taken in through the lungs by breathing an atmosphere heavily charged with moisture. To cure the condition, enemas of hot water should be given, slightly salty, in sufficient quantity to thoroughly hush the entire colon. The colon ascending should be filled with the water, in order to reduce the inflammation and again admit of the natural outflow of feces. Natr. sulph. should be given in alternation with Ferr. phos. and Kali sulph. As soon as the disease is checked and perspiration sets in, drop the Ferr. phos. and Natr. sulph., and give Kali mur. and Calc. phos. The potassium chloride molecules form new bile, and the lime- salts new gastric juice. When the actions of the tissue remedies are fully under¬ stood, disease will be known simply as a deficiency of cer¬ tain inorganic salts. Then every one will have the cure in their own hands, quarantine will be unknown, and names of different conditions caused by deficiencies will be of no moment in the scientific world. FERR. PHOS.—For the febrile conditions, in alterna¬ tion with Natr. sulph., the chief remedy. NATR. SULPH.—Greenish-yellow, brown or black vomit. Severe bilious symptoms. Other remedies must be given in alternation with this, the chief remedy, when cor¬ responding symptoms arise.
