PART III. Therapeutical Application of the Twelve Tissue Remedies. L ABSCESS. Ferrum phos.--This is the first remedy to be given in all cases of boils, carbuncles, felons, or any suppurative process, where there are present fever, heat, throbbing pain and congestion in the parts. This remedy, if given early, will often abort suppuration. Kali mur.--Is indicated in the second stage of boils, carbuncles, felons, abscess, etc., where there is swelling, but as yet no pus formation; especially is it indicated in abscesses of the breast, with the above characteristics. It may be given in carbuncles, boils and other suppurative processes to abort swelling before matter forms. It may also be used as a lotion, applied externally on lint. Natrum sulph.--Fistulous abscesses of years' standing, discharging watery pus, surrounded by a broad, bluish border. Burrowing abscesses. A single dose of the 3d trituration gives everything a favorable turn; the abscesses collapse, the fistulous canals dry up. (Grauvogl.) Silicea.--When suppuration appears, this remedy should be exhibited at once. It greatly assists the suppurative process, causing the tumor rapidly to ripen, and often to break spontaneously. It is to follow Kali mur. in those cases where pus has commenced to form, as in mammary abscess, especially if Kali mur. has failed to abort the suppuration. After the abscess breaks or is opened, this remedy should be continued as long as infiltration remains. Silicea is also useful in blind boils. In whitlow, Silicea assists and controls the formation (109) of pus and stimulates the growth of new nails. The use of Silicea in all cases of commencing whitlow cannot be overestimated. A dose every two hours will usually cure the felon in twenty-four hours. (A. P. Davis, M.D.) Calcarea su...
