Rhus toxicodendron

PNEUMONIA.

Rhus toxicod. If the case assumes a typhoid tendency, as shown by the tongue with its dryness and triangular red tip, and the excessive restlessness which keeps the patient tossing about, and the sensorium is blunted with low delirium. If this remedy does not, within a reasonable time, modify the symptoms and the delirium increases, also the stupor until the case is unconscious, no remedy surpasses Hyoscyamus. I am quite sure this remedy [Hyos,) is not so well and favorably known as it should be in this disease.

PLEURITIS.

Rhus toxicod. should be considered when the tongue grows dry with a triangular red tip and the sensorium becomes more dull like typhoid form of fever, the patient being very restless, wanting to change position often, and especially if the case has a history of exposure to wet or from straining, wrestling, lifting, etc. There may be fever blisters on lips and around mouth. Now if neither one of the foregoing remedies avail we may suspect some psoric complications in the case and may exhibit

COUGH.

Rhus tox.—Dry teasing cough, with taste of blood.
