First to third attenuation.

This remedy acts strongly upon mucous membranes. It has, like many other remedies, been so abused by the old school that it has fallen into disrepute, and the tendency even with our own school under such circumstances is to underrate its virtues or to fail to investigate as they ought to. It is, however, an excellent remedy in the form of chronic bronchial catarrh, with profuse expectoration of greenish or gray purulent matter. (Stannum, Lycopodium, Sulphur, Phosphorus, etc.) Among remedies not yet well understood we have:

Copaiva, profuse greenish-gray, disgusting smelling sputa.

Illicium anisatum, pus, with pain at third cartilage, right or left.

Pix liquida, purulent sputa, pain at left third costal cartilage.

Myosotis, copious sputa, emaciation, night sweats.

Balsam Peru. catarrhal phthisis, copious purulent expectoration.

Yerba santa, accumulation of mucus causing asthmatic breathing.

I mention these remedies in order to call attention to them for trial in case we cannot find the curative among the better proven ones. All the old remedies had to have their beginnings.

Copaiva is a valuable remedy in gonorrhœa. There is great irritation in the urethra and at the neck of the bladder. It may be indicated in the beginning, when the discharge is thin or milky, and later, especially when the disease has extended to the bladder, with discharge of a large amount of viscid mucus or blood and mucus in the urine. Although not so violent in its action on the urinary tract as Cantharis, it stands very close to it.

White, diarrhœic stools, generally in the morning, with chilliness and colic, obliging one to bend double. Involuntary stools. Bloody stools. Stools, with tenesmus. Intolerable burning at the anus.

Inflammation of the urinary organs ; swelling and dilatation of the orifice of the urethra with pulsative pain through out the penis. Constant, ineffectual desire to urinate ; contraction of the urethra ; emission of urine in drops. Hæmaturia. Urine foaming ; greenish-turbid, smelling hike violets. Itching, biting and burning in the urethra, before and after micturition. Yellow, purulent gonorrhœa.

Burning pain (skin, abdomen, urethra, prostate gland, chest). Heaviness and pressure (abdomen, chest, perineum).

Chilliness and coldness, in the forenoon, with pain in the dorsa of the feet ; in the afternoon, heat and thirst for water. Perspiration profuse, of a pungent smell. Heat in the face on bending the head forward.

Rheumatism after suppressed gonorrhœa. Increased secretion of mucus from the mucous membranes.

Copaiva. Copaifera officinalis. N. O. Leguminosæ. Tincture of the balsam.

Acne. Anus, itching of. Bladder, irritable . Blenorrhagia. Bronchitis. Catarrh. Cough. Cystitis. Dysentery. Fistula. Gastritis. Gonorrhœa. Hæmorrhoids. Measles. Nose-bleed. Prostatitis. Pruritus. Urethritis. Urticaria. Vulva, inflammation of.

Copaiva is an old-world remedy for gonorrhœa, and it has also been used for other blenorrhagic conditions. It has been proved; and observations have been made on patients who have overdosed themselves with the drug. The chief incidence of the drug's action is on the genito-urinary organs, and rectum. It is suited to the irritable bladder of old women. Irritation accompanying thickening of bladder. Burning at neck of bladder and in urethra; discharge milky, corrosive; meatus tumid and inflamed. It affects the skin and mucous membranes generally. In chronic bronchitis it is useful when there is profuse, greenish-grey, disgusting-smelling sputa. A. P. Bowie ( Med. Adv ., xx. 14) has verified this indication: "In old persons (men, I should say) who from cold or other causes cannot urinate; or where there is frequent desire and only a few drops pass with much straining — frequently with a mucous discharge from the bowels, with much rumbling and rolling in the bowels." He gave 5-drop doses of the first dilution. He commends also an ointment of gtt. x of the balsam to one ounce of vaseline, "to relieve the burning and itching at the anus caused by piles."

Antidoted by: Bell., Calc., Merc., Sulph. Compare: Cannab., Canth., Cubeb., Eriger., Kali bro., Kali i., Sep., Senec. It has less violent action than Canth. Teste says he is unable to find any difference between the therapeutic properties of Copaiv. and Sep. Both are antidoted by the same drug: Merc. cor. in the male, and Merc. sol. in the female, according to Teste, neutralise the action of Copaiv. almost instantaneously.
