## Keynote Indications
Hippoz. is a powerful nosode introduced by Dr. Garth Wilkinson. The disease is called 
“Glanders” when the catarrhal symptoms are pronounced, “Farcy,” when these are not noticeable, the skin 
being chiefly affected with deposits in the lungs. Homeopathic preparations of both have been made. 
In horses, glanders affects the lungs and the upper respiratory tract, causing coughs and disseminated 
ulcerations and deposits throughout the lungs. Mallein, a toxin prepared from glanders, was used in veterinary 
practice as a test injection for deciding whether a horse suspected of glanders actually has the disease or not. 
Hippozaeninum 
If the horse reacts it is concluded there is glanders. 
In a number of cases in which animals reacted to the first injections, repetitio n of the test has failed to elicit 
reaction, thus suggesting that Mallein is curative as well as diagnostic. 
The nosode has been used by homeopaths, at the suggestion of Wilkinson, on the phenomena of the disease 
as guides. It has been used in a large num ber of cases involving low forms of suppuration and catarrh. Ma -
lignant ulcerations and swellings, abscesses and enlarged glands and also in conditions similar in kind, but 
less in severity. 
Weakness, fatigue, general discomfort. General prostration with c onsiderable ema ciation. Numerous 
ecchymoses in internal organs. Inflammation of lymphatic vessels and swelling of glands. Phlegmasia alba 
dolens. Pyemia, erysipelas. Chronic rhinitis, bloody secretion. 
Symptoms suggesting tuberculosis, cancer, syphilis, etc. It promises useful service in the treatment of ozaena, 
scrofulous swellings.
