if no symptoms of cinchonism develop, 4 doses 6 grs each daily (C. Harlan Wells). Paroxysmal
tachycardia. Establishes normal heart rhythm at least temporarily, less in valvular lesions).

Dose.--The third to thirtieth attenuation will bring about reaction when the drug is homeopathically
indicated; but for palliative purposes the physiological dosage is required. For this purpose, the
tincture made from the fresh plant, in doses of five to twenty drops, when the cardiac stimulation is
desired, or the infusion of 1 1/2 per cent. Dose, one-half to one ounce if the diuretic action is
wanted. The tincture may be given on sugar or bread, and nothing liquid be taken for twenty
minutes before or after its administration. Of the powdered leaves, 1/2 to 2 grains in capsules.
Digitoxin 1-250 grain. No matter what form of digitalis is given the dose should be reduced as soon
as the pulse rate has been lowered to 80 beats a minute and the normal rhythm has been partially
or completely restored. Under such conditions a good rule is to cut the dose in half and still more if
there be a sudden falling off of the urinary output.

ounce or two of a solution of Formic acid in the proportion of one part of the acid to eleven of
distilled water. Of this one teaspoonful is taken in a tablespoonful of water after food once or twice
daily. Pain in aponeurosis and muscles of head, neck and shoulders before a snowstorm). Rhus;
(Dulcam, Urtica and Juniperus contain Formic acid), Wood alcohol, when taken as a constituent of a
beverage so common in these prohibition days, is not eliminated easily and is slowly converted into
Formic acid, attacking the brain and causes death or blindness.

Dr. Sylwestrowicz of the Hering Research Laboratory of Hahnemann College, Philadelphia

contributes his experience with Formic Acid, as follows:

"The best field for the formic acid treatment are cases of atypical gout. Under this classification are
to be mentioned disturbances in the muscles such as myositis, periostitic processes of the bones in
form of doughy swellings, changes of the fascias such as Dupyutren's contraction, skin troubles such
as chronic eczema, psoriasis and loss of hair, kidney disturbances such as subacute and chronic
nephritis. In these cases formic acid in 12x and 30x, hypodermically 1 cc is indicated at intervals of 2-
4 weeks. Eight till twelve days after the first injection an aggravation is often noticed.

In acute rheumatic fever and acute gonorrhœic arthritis formic acid 6x, every six days 1 cc,
sometimes 12x in sensitive patients shows often splendid results abolishing the pains and
preventing reoccurrence.

Chronic arthritis needs a special discussion. Clinical experiments of the Hering research Laboratory
of the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia on a great number of cases of arthritis with
formic acid showed that it preferably acts on the ligaments, capsula and bursa of the joints. Such
kind of cases respond very readily to treatment.
The prognosis depends to a large extent upon the etiology of the case. The most satisfactory cases
are chronic arthritis in connection with gouty diathesis. Chronic arthritis following an attack of acute
rheumatic fever shows also remarkable results although often pains of a neuralgic character
persisting in certain spots are very stubborn. Finally chronic arthritis of traumatic nature can be
cured by formic acid. In the latter case formic acid 6x showed quicker and better results than 12x or
30x which are indicated in the previous cases. In general the disappearance of the stiffness of the
joint is the first sign of improvement. Then the pain and swelling cease gradually in 1-6 months time.

The prognosis of the formic acid treatment is not so favorably in chronic arthritis in which
deformans processes have already taken place on the articular surfaces. Such processes in the
beginning can be checked completely, advanced cases frequently show an improvement. But there
is always the possibility that this improvement is only temporary. This is particularly to be expected
in the cases of the so-called arthritis deformans in which even the inflammations on the ligaments
and capsula are of a very progressive character".
