Typical features

 The metal Manganese was isolated in 1774, in the year Priestley discovered Oxygen. It was introduced into the materia medica by Hahnemann, who made provings of the acetate and carbonate. The symptoms of the two have not been kept separate. Manganese is a metal having a remarkable affinity for, and in some respects a close resemblance to, iron, of which it is an extremely frequent associate. Its medicinal as well as its physical relationship with iron is very close. It has an action on the blood-forming process like iron, and has been successfully used in cases of anaemia. There is one curious symptom they have in common: сough by lying down. If there is any difference, the Mang. cough is more apt to be deep, and it is also lying down, and also this sensitiveness of the bones. Where this occurs in connection with any other condition indicating Mang. it is sure to do good. There are single nodes on the palate (I recently cured in an elderly lady a flat growth on centre of palate with Mang. 30); bluish nodes on the skin; malignant ulcers with blue borders following slight injury. The skin will not heal, slight scratches ulcerate. Inflammation of bones and joints with insupportable nightly digging pains. Anaemia (menses too frequent and too scanty in anaemic girls); laryngeal phthisis; tuberculosis. сhlorosis, if gastric symptoms and loss of appetite predominate. Every part of the body feels extremely sore when touched. This last is quite a keynote of Mang. Rheumatic patients cannot bear any weight on their heels. Rheumatic symptoms with dark, almost blue spots on skin. Mang. has some remarkable paralytic symptoms. Paralysis with inclination to run forward if he tried to walk. Paralysis begins below, extending upward. Paraplegia. Paralysis from degeneration of anterior portion of cord. The tongue symptoms of Mang. are very pronounced. Hansen (H. W., xxiv. 64) cured with Mang. ac. 6 a case of neuralgia of the tongue following the healing of a little ulcer on surface near left border, after pencilling with lunar caustic. Shortly after the healing the patient (man, 60) had severe stinging burning at left edge of tongue and inner side of left cheek touching the tongue. In this state he came to Hansen after allopathic treatment. Several medicines having been given without result, Mang. ac. was chosen, and made a rapid and permanent cure. In an article on Mang. by F. H. Pritchard (Minn. Hom. Mag., v. 151), who cites this case, the action of the metal is thus summarised: (1) On mucous membranes: congestion and increased as well as decreased secretions. (2) Liver: a powerful cholagogue inducing inflammation and fatty degeneration. (3) вlood: destroys red corpuscles and = anaemia. (4) вones and periosteum: sensitiveness of bones with periostitis. (5) Skin: fissures; excoriation; suppuration. (6) сerebro-spinal system: paralysis and progressive muscular atrophy. Pritchard quotes observations of Grille that workmen in manganese mines do not get itch; and those who come to the work with itch get cured of it. Suppuration of skin round joints is a characteristic of Lippe s. The manganese waters of сransac cause: Ill-humour, weeping, despondency, sudden palpitation. The headaches of Mang. are boring, pressing, and proceed from above downwards. There is also a headache like concussion on every step or movement. A. W. Palmer (quoted H. W., xxxii. 366) reports this case of catarrhal deafness cured with Mang. 6: Miss H., 38. Dull hearing; dry throat with hoarseness; itching in ears; loud rumbling,. Raising head, bending forward, bending double ; bending backward вy eating; by swallowing. Eating = pressure in stomach and abdomen hoarseness.
