It first appears in a small work. Additions to the Homeopathic Materia Medica, collected and arranged \nby Henry Thomas, M. D. and published in London in the year 1858: \nThomas employed a 6x dilution in three cases of tuberculosis. In one case, there was a tuberculous affection \nof the upper portion of the left lung of two years' standing. He moptysis had been go ing on for three months, \nthe expectoration had been pure blood in the morning, dark lumps of clotted blood in the evening, and the fits \nof coughing were very violent at night. \nIn this case, all homeopathic remedies had been tried unsuccessfully, then Thoma s accidentally discovered \nthe virtues of the Acalypha Indica, that remedy having been given him by a native for jaundice. \nHenry Thomas said, \u201cI prepared the mother tincture upon the homeopathic principle and\" took 10 drops, which \nbrought on a severe fit of  dry cough, followed by spitting of blood. After having noted all the symptoms \nexperienced by myself and finding that they were nearly all similar to those of my patients.\u201d  \nThomas gave six drops of the 6x dilution in half a tumbler of water. A spoonful was to be taken every half hour, \nbeginning immediately at 9 a.m. At 6 p.m., the blood had stopped. He continued this for eight days and the \nblood never reappeared. The patient improved and auscultation proved the disease decreased. Thomas was \nhopeful to effect a cure. \nIn one case of passive hemorrhage from the lungs, after Arnica was used with little benefit, Acai, benefited \nand then failed, after which the use of Arnica entirely stopped the hemorrhagic flow.  \nGrimmer stated that \u201cLung cancer with a violent cough which followed by bloody expectoration or of pure blood, \nbright in the morning, dark and clotted in the evening.
