THIRTY-FIVE YEARS IN THE EAST.
of the patient were anxious to try homoeopathy, he consent-
ed, and I administered, in his presence, three lilliputian
pills of Aranea diadema (X000 ), and then took my leave*
When I called on my patient in the morning, he told me
that he had passed a quiet night, that his former physician
had already been there, and on hearing that no bleeding
had taken place, he had prescribed for him some pills •
but he again and again repeated, that he felt no inclina-
tion to take them, as he preferred my medicine, which had
proved so beneficial. Whilst I was preparing the medica-
ment, the doctor, who was an Italian, came in, and was about
to fasten a quarrel on me \ but old M. Shabert took him
by the arm and led him into another room, from' which
he disappeared, and I saw him no more, I repeated the
medicine for eight days, at the end of which time he was
completely recovered. I must observe here, that the Aranea
diadema was prepared by Doctor Lehmann, at Kothen,
whose medicines, as I have already mentioned, were
recommended to me by Hahnemann.
What did the surgeon do in the meanwhile ? To show
that the recovery of the young man was the effect of his
treatment, he ordered a dog to be brought from the bazaar,
and cut through its crural artery, and then applied his
styptic (creosote ) ; but seeing that the wound did not heal,
he allowed the dog to escape, and a short time afterwards
the animal was found dead in the street.
Another case occurred in the above-mentioned family,
with a female, which may serve as an example how small
homoeopathic doses not only produce effects, but sometimes
cause great and beneficial excitement.
A sister of the young Shabert was troubled for many
years with a megrim. This evil was accompanied with a
nervous pain in the face, which made itself sensible at
intervals of three or four days, in the early part of the
day, like a disguised fever. In the moment of one of these
paroxysms, I administered to her a dose of Pulsatilla ; but
afterwards she became so much worse, that her husband^
Signor Salzani, came to me at ten o'clock at night, in
