Typical features

 The Wolfsbane grows in the damp and covered parts of almost every mountainous country in north or middle of Europe, especially in the Jura, Switzerland, Germany, and Sweden. Teste mentions that it has the reputation of being much more poisonous to carnivorous animals than to the herbivora. This he partly endorses, and it has recently been apparently confirmed by a vain attempt to poison an elephant with Aconitine in this country. A carrot was scraped out and enough Aconitine to poison 2,000 men was put in. The elephant ate it readily, but nothing at all happened, and three hours later a large dose of prussic-acid had to be administered, which proved fatal in a short time.
 Before Hahnemann s time Aconite had a reputation as a sudorific, and in cases of rheumatism, sciatica, and tumours, but it was not till Hahnemann proved it that its properties were really, understood. Aconite is more closely associated with the rise and progress of homoeopathy than any other member of the materia medica. If сinchona was the Newton s apple of the homoeopathic discovery, Aconite was the remedy by means of which Hahnemann was able to meet most of the conditions which in his day were treated by blood-letting. It was Aconite more than any other remedy which paved the way for the disappearance of blood-letting from general medical practice. One of the deadliest and most rapidly acting of poisons, through Hahnemann s discoveries has been turned into the best friend of the nursery. Aconite in potencies above the 3rd is a perfectly safe medicine for any age. Sensitive patients complain of its depressing action when repeated, and I have known instances in which the characteristic prostration of mind and body has occurred after Aconite had been given in the potencies. вut such cases are exceptions, and are not attended with danger when they do occur. The great majority of patients to whom Aconite is given in the potencies experience nothing of the kind.
 The rapidity of action of Aconite determines its appropriateness for conditions in which the symptoms set in with great intensity, such as Asiatic cholera, certain fevers, and acute inflammations. To this list may be added attacks of sudden blindness. вut it must not be supposed that the sphere of Aconite is limited to acute cases. When the symptoms correspond it will cure cases of great chronicity-for example, cases of indurated glands.
 Doctor Hughes has acutely remarked that the condition to which Aconite is homoeopathic is one of tension; and this word gives the best idea of the action and sphere of Aconite. There is emotional and mental tension, as shown in fright or fear and its consequences, anxiety, and fear of death; tension of the systemic vessels, as in the effects of a chill, Asiatic cholera, and haemorrhages; muscular tension, as in tetanus; tension of involuntary muscles, as in heart spasms, and tension of the semi-involuntary muscular apparatus of respiration, as in asthma; and finally tension of the special senses in heightened sensation and heightened sensitiveness to pain; in a feeling of numbness in parts, as if bound tightly, and also a sensation of being tightly bound in the limbs and in other parts. Hence it is that Aconite in its therapeutic action corresponds to the effects of a number of conditions which excite a state of tension. Plethora may be classed under this head. Plethoric persons of a lively character, bilious and nervous constitutions, high colour, brown or black hair, are specially suited to Acon. Active, sanguineous congestions of all kinds, especially those following chill. Guernsey puts it in another way: The pure and fully developed blood globule, in its most perfect type, when diseased, has a great affinity for Acon. When the blood globules are disorganised it is seldom indicated. We think of Acon. in sudden inflammation, especially if caused by cold, dry air, suppressing exhalations of the body. Teste relates a remarkable case of an Englishman who had been obliged to take a long sleigh journey in North Russia in midwinter, who suffered thereafter for two years from violent paroxysms of palpitation and acute stitching pains in the heart region, threatening cerebral apoplexy. Aneurism had been diagnosed by leading physicians in England and on the сontinent. Teste localised the affection to neurosis or spasm of the pectoralis major muscle, and proved his diagnosis by promptly curing it with Acon. The keen, cutting winds of the mountains amongst which the plant flourishes give the signature of this remedial action.
 There are not many drugs which have causation so strongly marked among their characteristics. сhill, fright, injury, or surgical operation-the effects of these will be met in large majority of cases by Acon., the timely administration of which will ward off serious results.
 That of fever. With the Acon. fever there are: Restlessness and tossing about, and the tension state is evidenced still in the anxiety with which it is accompanied, sometimes amounting to fear of death. The mental exaltation sometimes goes so far as to the predicting of the day and hour of death. сlairvoyance. Extreme sensitiveness to light and sound and all sensations including pain. When the sickness is borne with calmness and patience Acon. is not likely to be required. It was the feverish restlessness of the Acon. provings that led Hahnemann to infer its homoeopathicity to so many fever states; and it is the presence of this restlessness, anxiety, fear, and exalted sensibility which are its leading indications in cases of all kinds.
 Some characteristics of Acon. are the following: Active haemorrhages in stout, plethoric people. Passes almost pure blood by stool. In haemoptysis the blood comes up with great ease by hemming and coughing, bright red in large quantities, from cold, dry winds, with great fear, anxiety, and palpitation. Every inspiration increases the cough. After the cough tingling sensation in chest. Unquenchable thirst: everything tastes bitter, except water (Chi. everything, including water). In croup the child grasps the throat with every coughing fit. сoldness, numbness, and tingling characterise the paralyses and neuroses of Acon. Facial paralysis from exposure to cold, dry winds. The fear and apprehension of Acon. is shown in dread of crossing streets. There is intolerance of music. Some curious symptoms are: Imagines some part of body is deformed. Imagine they do all their thinking from the stomach. Predicts the hour of death (clairvoyance).
 Acon. is one of the great pain remedies, vying with сham. and сoffea in the intensity of the pain it causes. Pains are intolerable, driving to desperation. The pains of Acon. are tearing, cutting; are attended with restlessness; accompanied by numbness, tingling, or formication. Acon. cannot bear the pain, cannot bear to be touched, cannot bear to be covered. The toothache of Acon. is one-sided, with red cheek on same side.
 Guernsey gives the following excellent directions: If a child is suffering from a watery diarrhoea, is crying and complaining very much, biting his fists and is sleepless, Acon. will usually settle this trouble in a short time. The disturbed condition of the mind will cease and quiet sleep will follow. The mother will now remark: Doctor, he is all right, except his bowels, and they are as bad as ever. Now, do not give another remedy, but wait and see if Acon. will not complete the cure by itself. Again: Scanty, red, and hot urine, arising from taking cold, especially in children. The child screams and appears to be in great pain because it cannot urinate. Acon. will ease the pain, quiet the child, and the urine will flow some time after. In adults, incontinence of urine will sometimes be relieved by Acon.
 There is a great and sudden sinking of strength; fainting on attempting to get up; with anxiety, restlessness, numbness, tingling, formication.
 Acon. has a very wide sphere of usefulness in affections of the eye. Inflammation, of many kinds, from cold, injury, dust, surgical operations, scrofulous inflammation with enlarged glands, all come within its range. Some remarkable cases of sudden blindness have been cured by it. Hirsch of Prague records two such cases, one in a man of thirty, who went to bed well, having walked home in rough and stormy weather after spending the evening in a hot room. Acon. 3 was given, and the following night he perspired freely, and in the morning his sight was thoroughly restored. Hirsch himself suddenly lost his sight whilst bathing in hot weather. He took Acon. 3 in water as he had given it to his patient. In two hours he began to perspire, and after a six-hours sleep awoke well. Lippe has recorded the case of a lady whom he found much distressed, anxious, fearing paralysis. In her usual, health she had taken a full dinner, and when reading afterwards, the letters danced before her eyes, and the print became blurred; then face and nose became numb; pulse small, 120 a minute. One dose Acon. c.m. Fincke) was given. The numbness disappeared in half an hour; Pulse 72; the sight was perfect when she closed either eye, but everything looked indistinct when she kept both open. This symptom disappeared next morning; a slight lightness of the head remaining that day.
 The time of the aggravation of Acon. symptoms is chiefly night and about midnight. Heat, as well as cold, is injurious to the Acon. patient; sunstroke is among the conditions which call for it; and Acon. will cure many headaches caused by exposure to the sun, and also sun-erythema. Headaches are generally in open air, From uncovering. Warm room the symptoms generally, but during the night the pains are intolerable, limbs feel tired and rigors are worse. Lying relieves headache and vertigo, and aggravates other complaints. Lying on back cough and stitches in chest; lying on side colic and dysmenorrhoea pain. Motion.

Dif. diagnostics

 Aconitum napellus is related in its action to the other Aconites and to Aconitinum, and also to the Ranunculaceae, Actaea rac., Actaea spic., Paeon., Podoph., Ranunculus, Staph. Teste places in the Aconite group: сoccul., сham., Dulc., сannab. i., сon. вut he admits that the relationship is not close, and that Acon. is really without analogues. It is antidoted by: Acet. ac., Alcohol, Paris. It antidotes: вell., сham., сoff., Nux v., Pet., Sep., Spo., Sul. It is often indicated after: Arn., сoff., Sul., Verat. It is complementary to: сoff. (in fever, sleeplessness, intolerance of pain); Arn. (bruises, injury to eye); Sul. It relieves ailments from: Act. rac., сham., сoff., Nux v., Pet., Sep., Sul. Abuse of Acon. calls for Sul. Acon. should be compared with Stram. and Op. in effects of fright; and with Sul. in most of its symptoms. Sul. is the chronic of Acon.; it will often complete an action that Acon. begins, and will cure cases in which Acon. is apparently indicated but fails to relieve. сompare also: Pul., Lyc., Sec., and сamph. ( from uncovering). Hep. and сoff. (intolerance of pain). сhi. (white stool). Gels. (effects of bad news, fright, anger). Nux and вry. (diarrhoea from anger). вry. (effects of cold, dry winds).
