VERATRUM ALBUM, CAMPHORA AND SECALE CORNUTUM IN TYPHOID

Camphor comes the nearest to Veratrum album as a remedy for this collapse, of rapid onset, (unlike Carbo vegetabilis which comes on gradually), but the Camphor while cold all over, with sweats, does not so characteristically present the cold sweat upon the forehead, and Camphor has a very prominent symptom not found under Veratrum album, viz., notwithstanding the objective coldness the patient cannot bear to be covered. This latter symptom should also call to mind Secale cornutum which has the same. Here are three remedies which are liable to be indicated in collapse occurring in typhoid. It may be objected that these are remedies that are generally most useful in Asiatic cholera, when indicated by such symptoms. True, because oftener indicated there than elsewhere, but here let me repeat and emphasize that the name of the disease cannot decide the choice of the remedy, but the symptoms must. So if in exceptional cases, even of typhoid, such symptoms should appear, not to prescribe one of these remedies in accordance with our law of cure would not only be unscientific, but criminal.
