This shrub flowers from September to November, when the leaves are falling. The seeds mature the following summer. It is adapted to venous haemorrhage from every orifice of the body; nose, lungs, bowels, uterus, bladder. Venous congestion; passive, of skin and mucous membranes; phlebitis, varicose veins; ulcers, varicose, with stinging, pricking pain; haemorrhoids. Patients, subject to varicose veins, take cold easily from every exposure, especially in warm, moist air. "Is the Aconite of the venous capillary system.". Bruised soreness of affected parts (Arn.); rheumatism, articular and muscular. Wounds: incised, lacerated, contused; injuries from falls; checks haemorrhage, removes pain and soreness (Arn.). Chronic effects of mechanical injuries (Con.). Traumatic conjunctivitis; sugillations, or extravasations into chambers of eye; from severe coughing; intense soreness (Arn., Calen., Led.). Nosebleed: flow passive, long-lasting, blood non-coagulable (Crot.); profuse > headache (Mel.); idiopathic, traumatic, vicarious, of childhood. Haemorrhage: profuse, dark, grumous, from ulceration of bowels (Crot.); uterine, active or passive; after a fall or rough riding; vicarious menstruation; no mental anxiety. Haemoptysis: tickling cough, with taste of blood or sulphur; venous, without effort or coughing; sometimes monthly, for years. Profuse discharges, which simulate a haemorrhage, and form a drain upon system as severe as loss of blood. Haemorrhoids: bleeding profusely; with burning, soreness, fullness, heaviness; as if back would break; urging to stool; bluish color; anus feels sore and raw. Menses: flow, dark and profuse; with soreness in abdomen; after a blow on ovary, or a fall; all suffering < at menstrual period (Act., Puls.). Uterine haemorrhage active or passive; from jolting while riding over rough roads; bearing down pain in back. After haemorrhage from piles, prostration out of all proportion to amount of blood lost (Hydr.). Bad effects from loss of blood (Cinch.).

Complementary: Ferrum, in haemorrhages and the haemorrhagic diathesis. Compare: Arn., Calen., for traumatic, and to hasten absorption of introcular haemorrhage.

Under this remedy we find tendency to hæmorrhage, which may come from almost any part--ears, nose, uterus, hæmorrhoids, hæmaturia, etc.; small loss of blood causes great amount of prostration. Much weariness; easily gets tired.

Stools are covered with mucus. Hæmorrhoids bleed very profusely, with sensation of soreness, weight and burning in the rectum; they protrude, and anus feels sore as if raw.

Female: In uterine hæmorrhage occurring at any time, where the flow is steady and slow; blood is dark colored; no uterine pains; profuse discharge of dark blood; ceasing at night, occurring only in daytime.

Hæmorrhagic small-pox, with passive venous hæmorrhages. Back feels as if it would break. Mouth, dryness of. Restless at night. Varicose veins hard, knotty, swollen, and painful.

Passive venous hemorrhages from all parts of the body.

Witch-hazel (HAMAMELIS VIRGINICA)

Venous congestion, hæmorrhages, varicose veins, and hæmorrhoids, with bruised soreness of affected parts, seem to be the special sphere of this remedy. Acts upon the coats of the veins causing relaxation with consequent engorgement. Passive venous hæmorrhages from any part. Great value in open, painful wounds, with weakness from loss of blood. After operations, supersedes the use of morphia (Helmuth).

Tincture, to sixth attenuation. Distilled extract locally.

Venous hæmorrhages (very dark and clotted); veins full, enlarged and sore to touch.

Hamamelis Virginica is another remedy having the symptom "soreness as if bruised " in a marked degree, and which I did not mention when writing of Arnica. This soreness is sometimes found in rheumatism and Hamamelis has cured when Arnica failed. But one of the chief distinctions between these two remedies is that Arnica acts more upon the capillaries, causing their relaxation, whereby suggillations take place, while Hamamelis acts more upon the veins, which are very full, enlarged and sore. One author says:

"It is the Aconite of the veins."

From clinical use we know enough of the remedy to value it highly in varicosities of almost all kinds. (Fluoric acid.) It is here a powerful rival of Pulsatilla, but except the soreness of the veins we do not know of guiding symptoms for its use.

It has produced, in provings, severe hæmorrhages, and clinical use has defined the bleeding to be of very dark clotted, venous blood. There is no doubt of its power over such hæmorrhages, whether occurring from the nose, bowels, uterus, lungs or bladder. I have used it in every place with satisfaction. It is not a powerful poison and can be used low without bad effects. One of its best uses is in orchitis and inflammation of the spermatic veins, the provings markedly indicating its homœopathicity here. In hæmorrhages from the anus, whether from piles or typhoid fever, if the blood is of the above described appearance, Hamamelis is excellent.

Like Arnica and Calendula, Hamamelis has often seemed to act well as a local application. I am not in favor, generally, of using remedies in this way, unless it be for external injuries, which are not diseases.

The deep red colour of the tincture of Hamamelis may be taken as the signature of its therapeutic action. No remedy has a wider sphere of usefulness in cases of hæmorrhage and disordered blood-vessels. It has also a decided relation to the effects of mechanical injuries including burns of the first degree, and as a local application it takes rank with Arnica and Calendula in the homœopathic amamentarium. Hering, who learned its properties from Mr. Pond, of "Pond's Extract" fame (Pond was a patient of Hering's), made the first provings and introduced the remedy into homœopathy. He defines its position as being between Acon . and Arn . "Pond's Extract" is an aqueous distillate prepared from the leaves. A number of interesting superstitions are associated with the shrub; and shoots of it are used as "divining rods" for discovering water and metals. Hale has given a very full account of the remedy. Phlebitis; varicosis; hæmorrhoids; venous hæmorrhages — these are the conditions likely to require Hamam . The local application of Hamam . to a sprained knee has been known to set up inflammation in the veins of the part, and the provers who had varicose veins experienced in them increased sensitiveness and unusual sensations, and a number were cured. In congestion, inflammation, and bleeding of hæmorrhoidal vessels, Ham . has a great range of action; and like that other great pile remedy, Æsculus h ., it has also a marked action in the throat. Ham . is called for in cases of "varicose angina," where the veins of the pharynx are large and blue. The hæmorrhages in which Ham . is indicated are mostly dark. They may occur from any orifice. Metrorrhagia, menorrhagia, vicarious menstruation and hæmorrhages between the periods are met by it. In this connection a case recorded by Dr. Ward ( Pacif. Coast J. of H ., November, 1899) is noteworthy. He cured a case of intermenstrual pain . Allen mentions in the provings an intermenstrual flow , and Dr. Ward acutely observes that if his patient has had the flow, the soreness so distinctly felt might not have been realised. "Intense soreness" is one of the notes of Hamamelis . The part from which the flow of blood proceeds feels sore and bruised. This distinguishes it from Chi . in passive hæmorrhages. It is a leading indication for it in cases of orchitis and ovarian affections; and also in phlebitis and varicose veins. In piles there is much bleeding and marked soreness of the part; the back feels as if it would break ( Æsc. h . has little or no bleeding). There is taste of blood in the mouth. The headache of Ham . is chiefly in the temples, throbbing, hammering; especially over left eye. Hughes gave Ham . Ø to a young lady suffering from daily epistaxis and throbbing headache. The first dose was followed by a flushing of the face and most distressing throbbing-aching and sense of fulness in the head. The second dose brought back all the symptoms in the head, and a feeling as if it would burst. Some days later the 3x was given, and again the dilatation of the cerebral vessels occurred, though the symptoms were not so severe. The hæmorrhage of Ham . causes great exhaustion (out of proportion to the amount of loss), but there is also a tired, aching feeling in the back and lower limbs, independently of hæmorrhages. Many rheumatic symptoms occur, and with them always the characteristic soreness. A woman, thirty-five, to whom I gave Ham . 1 for varicosis with great advantage, developed marked loss of appetite and these additional symptoms: "Pain all round lower abdomen, dreadful aching, rheumatic pain at top of left shoulder and under right shoulder-blade, also right side of chest under arm. Pains < during the day and when at rest, entirely absent during the night. Stupid feeling in head." This scapular pain bears on the experience of Dr. Koech, who cured with Ham . many cases of scapular rheumatism. He regards it as a specific in affections of the last five cervical nerves. There is a good deal of thirst in the Ham . pathogenesis, and Bree says ( H. P ., xii. 61) it will relieve the excessive thirst that most patients with heart troubles complain of.

Ham. / (Hama.) / Ham.

Hamamelis,-Thee we greet,
Victor of the bleeding fleet.
All excretions show the stain
Of thy haemorrhagic drain.
Passive bleeding-constant-slow
From thy veins where'er they go.
Even from thy skin a drain
Such as inward parts sustain.
Knotted are thy veins, and red,
Where the flames of "Itis" spread.
And if broken-thus induced
Ulceration is produced.
Pains that on thy testes seize,
Or thy consort's ovaries,
Or rheumatic twinges sore,
She with thee must needs deplore
Or prolapsus of the womb,
Or the rectum be her doom.
Whilst in floods her monthly "guest"
Comes-or stupor if suppressed.
Water turns thy stomach-yea
Even thought of drinking may.
