(The expressed juice of the fresh plant, Hyoscyamus niger, mixed with equal parts of alcohol.)

From vol. iv, 2nd edit., 1825.

When dried the plant loses a great portion of its medicinal powers.

The following symptoms, which were produced by this drug on healthy persons, show the mental and emotional disorders and the derangements of the senses in which it is of use.

A dose containing a quadrillionth of a drop of the juice, or better, a small portion of such a drop, is more than sufficient for all homeopathic curative purposes when all other foreign irritants and drugs are kept away from the patient.

Frequent smelling at a saturated solution of camphor removes the troublesome effect of hyoscyamus when it has been given in too large a dose or in an unhomeopathic case.

Although the symptoms of this plant recorded below are very numerous, they require to be added to in order to make them complete.

* When we take together symptoms 140 to 146, 149 to 151 and 153, 155 to 162, 164, 165, 166, with the mental and emotional symptoms 513, 515, 520, 547 to 551, 559, 565 to 572, 575, 580, the convulsions 441, 475, 480, and some others 101, 102, 427 to 429, we have a tolerably accurate picture of the ordinary hydrophobia caused by the bite of a mad dog, which therefore will and must be not unfrequently curable by henbane. The true histories of this frightful disease show us several varieties of this malady in human beings, for each of which there will be a perfectly suitable remedy, among which henbane is one of the best. For the other cases either stramonium or belladonna is the suitable homeopathic remedy, according to the character of the totality of the symptoms. Belladonna has already effected some perfect cures, and would have done this more frequently, had not either other interposing remedies been administered at the same time, or, and especially, had it not been given in such enormous doses that the patients were sometimes killed by the remedy. Large doses of drugs, homeopathically suitable, are much more certainly injurious than such as are given without any similar (homeopathic) relation to the disease, or such as have an opposite (antipathic) relation to the case, that is to say, are quite unsuitable (allopathic). In the homeopathic employment of medicines, where the totality of the morbid symptoms has a great similarity to the action of a drug, it is really criminal not to give quite small doses, indeed as small as possible. In such cases doses of the size prescribed in the routine practice become real poisons and murderous agents. Convinced by a thousand-fold experience, I assert this of the homeopathic employment of medicines universally and invariably, particularly when the disease is acute; and this is especially true of the employment of belladonna, stramonium, and hyoscyamus in hydrophobia. So let it not be said, "One of these three medicines was given in the strongest doses, and not too seldom, but every two or three hours, and yet the patient died." "That was precisely the reason, " I reply with firm conviction, "that was precisely the reason why the patient died, and you killed him. Had you let him take the smallest portion of a drop of the quintillion-fold or decillion-fold attenuation of the juice of one of these plants for a dose (in rare cases repeating the dose after three or four days) then the patient would have been easily and certainly saved."
