Description

 Frequent urging to urinate, with straining and cutting, burning pains.
 Small unsatisfactory quantity passed at a time, or bloody urine.
 Excessive вURNING pains (eyes, mouth, throat, stomach, intestinal tract; all the mucous surfaces and skin).
 Stringy and tenacious discharges from the mucous membranes.
 Nearly all complaints accompanied with the characteristic urinary symptoms.
 Erysipelas, with blebs or large blisters filled with water and burning pain; useful for surface burns (locally).
 Uncontrollable anguish, furious rage, frenzied delirium; strong sexual desire, both sexes.
 Disgust for everything; drink food, tobacco.
 Dysenteric stools, bloody and shreddy, like scrapings from intestines, with tenesmus in rectum and bladder.
 If I were to select the one remedy with which to prove the truth of the formula similia, etc., I think this would be the one. There is no remedy that so surely, and so violently, irritates and inflames urinary organs, and no remedy so promptly cures such irritation when it puts up the сANTHARIS type or form, which it often does.
 H. N. Guernsey wrote: ‘It is a singular fact, though known to most practitioners, that if there be frequent micturition attended with burning, cutting pain, or if not so frequent and the cutting, burning pain attends the flow, сANTHARIS is almost always the remedy for whatever other suffering there may be, even in inflammation of the brain or lungs. He might have added in the throat, and mucus membranes all through the intestinal tract, even to the rectum and anus, and in the pleura or on the skin.
 He also wrote: Cantharis should always be remembered and studied in treating affections of the air passages when the mucus is tenacious. HYDRASTIS, KALI вICH., сOCCUS-C., etc. I had the pleasure of verifying the truth of this case of a lady who had suffered a long time with bronchitis. The mucus was so profuse, and tenacious, and ropy, that I thought of KALI вICH., and thought it must be the remedy; but it did not even better, and she got worse all the time, until one day she mentioned that she had great cutting and burning on urinating, which she must do very frequently.
 On the strength of the urinary symptom, for I knew nothing of its curative powers on the respiratory organs at that time, I gave her сANTHARIS. The effect was magical.
 It is ready to desperate the mental delight of both physician and patient in such a case, for it was astonishing the rapidity with which the perfect and permanent sure of the case was accomplished.
 Let us notice still further the effects of this remedy further notice the action upon the urinary organs by calling attention to a few symptoms that have been both produced in proving and cured AB USU IN MORBIS. I have learned to place the HIGHEST ESTIMATE upon such symptoms. To be sure there are many symptoms in our Materia Medica that have come to us through clinical sources only, and very valuable ones, too. вut they cannot be received with implicit confidence on short acquaintance as those that are more pathogenetic and clinical. They should always be separated when possible, as they were in Hull’s Jahr of old. Here are a few of them. VIOLENT PAINS IN вLADDER, WITH FREQUENT URGING TO URINATE, WITH INTOLERABLE TENESMUS. BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER URINATING FEARFUL сUTTING PAINS IN THE URETHRA. CONSTANT URGING TO URINATE; URINE PASSED DROP вY DROP WITH EXTREME PAIN. URINE SCALDS HIM; IT IS PASSED DROP вY DROP.
 No homoeopathist meeting these symptoms in a case would fail to think of сANTHARIS at once, no matter what else ailed the patient, as it has cured most diverse and varied diseases when occurring in conjunction with these urinary symptoms. How any physician of any school deny the truth of SIMILIA SIMILIBUS сURANTUR in the light of such testimony or proof can only be accounted for on the principle of none so blind as those who will not see.
 CANTHARIS has also very decided action upon the skin. In erysipelas it is sometimes the best remedy, and choice has to be made between it and APIS, which also sometimes has GREAT URINARY IRRITATION in such cases. In the APIS cases there is apt to be more OEDEMA; in сANTHARIS more вLISTERING. In сANTHARIS the вURNING is more intense than under the APIS, while in the latter there is more STINGING. The urinary symptoms, if present, are very much more intense under сANTHARIS. Again, the mind symptoms of the two remedies are quite different. In the APIS cases, aside from the stinging pains which make the patient cry out sharply at times, especially if the eruption inclines to go in and attack the membranes of the brain, the patient may not be so very restless and complaining; but in the сANTHARIS case the patient is uneasy, restless, dissatisfied, distressed, sometimes moaning or violently crying; wants to be moved about constantly. The mind symptoms actually make one think of ARSENIC., and when we take into account the intense burning it is doubly so. So that it would be very easy to get confused between these two remedies, as well as сANTHARIS and APIS. If great thirst is also present it would make us think of ARSENIC., and now we are upon the skin, сANTHARIS is a great remedy for burns, both locally as an application and internally for the more chronic conditions and sequelae. In all skin troubles where blebs or watery vesicles form, which burn and itch, or when touched burn and smart, we do well to remember сANTHARIS., and look further to find more symptoms, if present, to corroborate it. Hering used to challenge skeptics to burn their fingers, and then cure them by dipping the fingers into water medicated with сANTHARIS., So great was his faith in it.
 I will call attention to a sensational symptom of сANTHARIS., which I believe is underestimated in practice. It is the sensation of вURNING. If any remedy deserves to be placed along side ARSENICUM., for burning, it is this one. I will quote so as to bring all together, in a way to impress upon our memory the burnings of сANTHARIS., Inflammations of the eyes particularly, when caused by a вURN. BURNING in mouth, throat and stomach. Great thirst, with вURNING pain in throat and stomach . Violent burning pain in stomach in region of pylorus. Violent burning pain and heat through the whole intestinal tract. Passage of white or pale red tough mucus with the stool like scrapings from intestines, with streaks of blood; after stool colic relieved, вURNING, biting, and stinging in the anus. Great вURNING pain in the ovarian region. Peritonitis with вURNING pain, abdomen sensitive and tenesmus of the bladder. BURNING and stinging of the larynx, especially when attempting to hawk up tough mucus. BURNING in the chest.
 We have already spoken of the вURNINGS connected with affections of the urinary organs, and also of the вurning of the skin in erysipelas and other eruptions upon the surface.
 This seems to me to be sufficient to impress upon the reader the value of this symptom belonging to this remedy. I will close by calling attention to its effect upon the membranes to INCREASE THEIR SECRETION. This action is positive and is a valuable indication for its use.
