Gradually diminishing it to \none daily dose and in four weeks. \nEven the most obstinate cases yielded to this treatment. The patient felt encouraged by his increasing vigor, \nthe fever-cakes disappear, the bowels moved regularly and appetite left nothing to be desired. Those mean \nobstinate cases of intermittent fevers often appearing in the form of unbearable neuralgias, yielded more \nrapidly to it than to the Quinine. \nAnshutz noted the case of \u201cS. T., age 46 years old, contracted syphilis some years ago and was relieved of it \nby mercurial treat ment and by Zittman's decoction. About six years ago he felt out of sorts and a papular \neruption appeared on foreh ead, temples and especially at the root of the nose. Though treatment was \nimmediately instituted, still in a few weeks the face of the patient was covered by ugly, foul -smelling crust. \n\u201cCod liver oil was now taken internally and applied externally until th e scurfs fell off and the eruption \nconcentrated on three points. For six months that treatment was kept up, but after being omitted for a few \nweeks, the eruption spread again to its former extent. Every treatment was tried in rotation without the least \nbenefit. \n\u201cIn the spring 1856 he entered my clinic. In the center of the forehead, at the root of the nose, on both eyebrows \non the temples and right cheek there are moist herpetic eruptions covered with crusts, exuding on least \npressure an acrid, burning discharge, with easily bleeding. \n\u201cAround these eruptions the skin is injected, reddened interspersed with a large network of veins. Cough and \nexpectoration hint to a beginning of tuberculosis, an heirloom in the family. Little appetite, disturbed digestion, \ntardy defecation and evening fever. \n\u201cHe is ordered Solutio Ars -br. twice a day, four drops in a glass of water and already after two weeks the \neruption begins to dry up, appetite returns and bowels are regular. \n\u201cAfter two months two crusts fall off and the  skin under them is soft, shining, some what red. About July all \neruption had gone and the cough greatly improved.\u201d \nHe continued by noting that \u201cArs-br. is also a powerful remedy in diabetes mellitus and insipidus, cured cases \nwhere the patient had already been reduced from 138 pounds to 98 and where the urine could be condensed, \n \n \nby boiling into syrupy consistency. \n\u201cA diabetic patient needs fresh pure air if he wishes to get well, confinement in a room or in the office prevents \nthe action of any treatment, for it needs ozone to reduce the sugar of the blood into carbonic acid and water.  \n\u201cLet the patient take three drops thrice daily in a glass of water and after a week the insatiable burning thirst \nwill be quenched and these doses must be continued until the  quantity of sugar in the urine is reduced, when \nthe remedy might be taken twice a day and continued for a long time.\u201d REFERENCES - Anshutz.
