Typical features

 The poison of the deadly cobra has been used from ancient times, says P. с. Majumdar (Ind. Hom. Rev., vi. 6), by Indian practitioners in many nervous and blood diseases. It was introduced into homoeopathy by Russell and Stokes, who made the first provings along with some forty other provers, including Gillow, Pope, and Drysdale. It is rather remarkable that with so many able provers Naja should not have attained anything approaching the place of importance occupied by Lach. Nash suggests this may be due to the fact that many of the provings of Lach. were made with the 30th potency, whilst those of Naja were with low potencies. Majumdar had no success with Naja until he obtained fresh virus from the snake charmers (the cobra is the snake they charm) and made attenuations of that. Previously the Naja used by Indian homoeopaths had been re-imported into India from England in the form of attenuations. Deane in his experience in the plague epidemic of 1899-1900 found Naja prepared from the fresh virus more efficacious than Lachesis, and he found its action more prompt if injected under the skin than if given by the mouth. The affinity of Naja for the medulla oblongata and cerebellum is well shown in an experience of Frank вuckland (Curiosities of Natural History, 2nd edition, 225, quoted с. D. P.) after skinning a rat killed by a cobra bite: I had not walked a hundred yards before all of a sudden I felt just as if somebody had come behind me and struck me a severe blow on the head and neck, and at the same time I experienced a most acute pain and sense of oppression at the chest, as though a hot iron had been run in and a hundredweight put on the top of it. His face turned green. He staggered into a chemist s shop and managed to get some ammonia, and was then able to walk to a friend s house, where he drank four large wineglasses of brandy without feeling tipsy. He was then able to start for his own house, and for the first time felt a most acute pain under the nail of left thumb, the pain running up the arm. About an hour before he examined the rat he had cleaned his nail with a penknife, and had slightly separated the skin, and that was how the virus entered. These symptoms of вuckland s are highly characteristic and valuable. The hot-iron symptom and weight on the chest should be especially noted. Majumdar (Ind. H. R., vi. 8) relates this case: A young woman suffering from a heart affection had oppression of chest amounting almost to suffocation feeble, irregular, almost imperceptible pulse; anaemic appearance inability to speak. One dose of Naja was given, followed in four hours by a second. These sufficed for the cure. The next day, when the doctor called, his patient addressed him in a loud voice: Doctor, you gave me a poison last night. When asked to explain, she said that after the first dose she felt awful heat in her system. This must be put beside вuckland s hot iron as a Naja indication. Majumdar has saved a number of apparently hopeless cases of cholera with Naja, in the collapse stage, with pulselessness and difficulty of breathing. In addition to the above symptoms of heart failure and distress the following will be found to be leading symptoms in heart cases: Depression and lowness about the heart. Inability to speak, with choking, nervous, chronic palpitation. Severe pains in left temple, cardiac and ovarian regions. Sensation as if heart and ovary were drawn together. Pains about heart extending to nape of neck, left shoulder and arm, with anxiety and fear of death. Pulse slow, irregular. Symptoms sitting up. He cured many cases of hay-fever and autumnal catarrh, the symptoms being-(1) Flow of water from nose for a few minutes; then (2) intense sneezing, which the breathing. After recurring for a few days there is dryness in the lungs with great difficulty of breathing, of pain and breathing by lying on right side. Very sensitive to cold. вy walking in open air; by smoking.
