ALOES.

(Translated from Hering's Amerikanische Arzneiprufungen.

BY T. F. ALLEN, M. D., NEW YORK.

“For 'tis a physic

That's bitter to sweet end.” — Measure for measure, 4, 6.

HISTORY OF THE PROVINGS. For by far the largest and most important part of the following compilation we are indebted to Dr. Helbig. Through him I received not only an extract from Wederkind and many valuable notices from other authors, but also the provings of Henke, Preu and E. S. (Shreter?); thereto must be added the proving of a young physician (a.-b.) for which I myself become surety. Helbig and a.-b. proved Aloes in 1833, the others about the same time or not much later.

The first who published a proving of Aloes was Dr. J. Ruchner, who also added many observations from older authors, last of all referring to the “Homoeopathic Real Lexicon.” (A. H. Zeitung. 20, 263,1841.)

Dr. Roth, to whom the Materia Medica is already indebted for so many learned and elaborate studies, gave in the Revue Critique a report on Aloes, which was translated into the Hygea. He had made use of Wedekind's treatise in Rust's Magazine, 1827, 2, 2, — and the above-mentioned one of Buchuer.

Dr. Kurz gave Giacomini's report from the Tratta Filoso-fico-sperimentale (translated into French by Mojon Ragnette) with many valuable notices in addition. (A. H. Zeitung, 32, 273, 1843.)

I have been able to add to all these the provings and experiences of the physicians of this country, the results of several provings with Aloes in substance, in the one-tenth, and higher up to the two hundredth (Jenichen's) potency, partly upon myself, partly upon more than ten other persons; but some of these exhibited only very few or only one single striking symptom; several were observed in children who had been weaned from the breast by besmearing the nipple with Aloes.

For my own experiments I succeeded in obtaining the really genuine Aloes from the Island of Socotra. When the United States Government dispatched a man-of-war to the Sultan of Muscat, on behalf of commercial interests, the ship's surgeon had an interview with the private physician of the Sultan, and received from him a piece of the genuine pure Aloes, such as had been prepared in Socotra for the Sultan. This rarity was transferred to the collection of the Pharmacological Institute of this place (Philadelphia), and a trustworthy friend succeeded in breaking therefrom a good piece, which he brought to me in triumph. This Aloes has on its fractured surface a fiery red golden glitter, and its bitterness is rather more aromatic. Any one who wishes it can receive in exchange the second or third potency.

Whoever wishes to become acquainted with the pharmacy and chemistry of Aloes, will find all that is requisite in many works. The history and the various views of the Old School are, as about all other remedies, so also concerning this, given most complete and best in Strumpf's Materia Medica, Vol. II, pages 182 and 227-241. Every physician should himself possess this, in all respects, distinguished work. Never before has so clear, well-defined and complete a chart of such an obscure subject been produced with so much learning and skill. Even should the whole never be completed, each part is useful and indispensable; we must fear that it will not be finished, for this master work finds no purchasers. From this it seems as if Germans had ceased to love thoroughness, and as if, in the Materia Medica at least, the ignorance of the majority were on the increase. Even Kosteletzky's excellent Medical Botany is sold for waste paper; on the other hand, OEsterle's patch work, shuffled together for sale, goes through edition after edition, although it is crowded with the grossest blunders. I took good care not to buy the new editions, for what was commenced in such a manner cannot be fit for any thing, even if revised and enlarged.

OEsterle quotes Aloes from Africa, “West Indies and Sicily, whereas the East Indies always furnished the most valuable article; of Barbadoes Aloes he makes no mention whatever. Asiatic or East African Aloes is found in commerce under the names Socotra, South African, Cape and Lucida; American or West Indian Aloes under the name of Barbadoes. The last which can always be obtained the freshest, passes for the most powerful, and is preferred to the Cape Aloes by veterinary surgeons and pill-dealers. According to Pereira, three parts of Barbadoes equal five parts of Cape Aloes. Most of the provers took, unless it is specified, what in pharmacies passes for real Socotra Aloes. This was certainly the case with the local provers, except in symptoms from children.

The tincture of Aloes must be treated as a separate remedy, for trituration only will completely preserve or develop the active properties, hence a “It “will be annexed to the symptoms of the tincture. Already Schroeder has said that Aloes, extracted with spirits of wine, has totally lost its vimlaxandi.

That which is mentioned in the Bible as Aloes is not our drug, which first came into notice much later. In the fourth book of Moses, 24th, sixth verse, Aloes is spoken of in connection with cedar, so that only a tree can be intended. Besides it is presented in combination with myrrh, Prov17th, seventh verse; Psalms 45th, ninth verse; Solomon Songs 4th, fourteenth verse. Even from the connection, but still more from the signification it is apparent that by Apaloh and Apalim, an article of incense, is referred to. Even the best Aloes of Socotra produce awful fumes. Clearly the wood of the Aloe is here intended, and the same in John 19th, fortieth verse, a wood which is fragrant when burnt; which even now forms an article of commerce in the East. The best kind comes, according to Martius, from Cynometra agallocha or Aquilaria ovata; Arabian, Kalumbak; Indian, Ager, known in the middle ages as Lignum aquilae, Eagle Wood; in Holland, Paradyshout. Other kinds come from Excoecaria agallochus (compare Aloexylon). In Sontheimers, Ebn Baithar, Agalloehon, is rendered as Aloe-wood, Vol. II, pp. 224, 570; as real Aloe, pp. 120, 526, 620.

Our purgative Aloes is called in Hindostan, Elwa; Persian, Mussebir; in Arabia, Sibbar; according to Honigberger, Sabrah, according to Sontheimer, Sabr.

Scarcely any reliance can be placed upon the biblical “Talmudic Medicine” of R. J. Wunderbar, for he understands So little of Natural History, that he would have a twig of a fig tree grafted upon sugar cane, and even believed in its perpendicular roots (fig). Likewise be thinks Ivy needs, for thriving, “dry sunny nooks,” which is supremely nonsensical, etc.

Hippocrates makes no mention of Aloes. It appears to have first become known in Greece about the time of the Ptolemies. The earliest mentions made of it are in Dioscorides, III, 25, and in Plinius, n. h. 27, 5. Dioscorides recognizes it as already a polychrest. “It is good for many things.” All later physicians, the Arabian especially, “are full of its praise,” It appears that Aloes was cultivated in Socotra. Perhaps Aloes originated in the same way as the use of Coffea, from “immensely productive” Africa. It is stated in Sparrman's Travels (Foster's edition), p. 605, “The Goree river derives its name from the Aloes which is there called Goree, and which derives its name from a slave of that name, who was the discoverer of its great utility.

Its praise is apparent all through the middle ages, whilst manifold and absurd theories are adapted to its action. Under Stahl and Hoffman, it was so popular in Germany that it was held in as great veneration as Couch Grass. It is remarkable how the anticipations of the law of similarity prevailed, especially in Germany, and the faith in the doctrine of the signature remained alive. Things of nature are words, form and color, a language, which, to him who can read it, expresses properties. Thus Schroeder says, in his Arzneischatz, 'Aloes simulates gall in taste, properties and action. Gall is the balm of life — Aloes a balm of nature, as it were an external gall.' Hoffman perhaps made the earliest attempt to bring into union these two balms. 'Purified Aloes dissolved in gall and brought into digestion would not assume the color of blood, but was of a blackish yellow and stank horribly.' This is very credible, and this same horrible stench has adhered to all the theories from Galen up to our time in which the stench has concentrated in the reseaches of Wedekind, well meant as they were. Then Schwemke made a second chemical experiment. Aloes brought in contact with blood, extracted from the body, appears to produce more speedy coagulation. So we can judge that he sought thereby to re-establish the coagulability of the blood just as conversely, in our time, the attempt is made 'to limit the scientific sphere of action; and we find Aloes contra-indicated where a 'tendency to decomposition of the blood predominates.' The majority of doctors were, for centuries, 'Kopromanen,' that is to say crazy about excrement, and sank from examining urine to inspecting faces. The chamber-pot is even to this day often taken up and covered again, with more care than the patient himself. Even at the very house-door the doctor could perceive from the attendants what sort of heartrendering countenances went about the house and stood at the bedside, and what sort of one lay in the bed, for the chamber-pot was empty; but should the servants open the doors full of serenity, and tears trickle down the faces of all the members of the family, the chamber-pot was full and full indeed of a 'horrible stench.' Aloes effected this, and what more could one desire. Moreover, bitter, consequently tonic, strengthing and bestowing vigor! This was enough to extol it as the life-prolonging balm. And we may assume to a certainty that for centuries a hundred thousand Aloetic pills have been swallowed daily, even by persons in tolerably good health.

Tabermontanus, even in his day, knew that, daily used, it protects from many grievous complaints. This, even in our day, has brought many a quack and pill-dealer into fashion. Whilst physicians kept tormenting themselves to find indications and contra-indications, the preparations of these rascals were finding nooks in the closets of the lowly and the toilets of the aristocracy. A just Nemesis; for all the ill health frequently arises from the doctor's themselves. If doctors have hatched out any monstrous device, they may safely reckon on this, that in the next generation this same thing will stand in the way as an eye-sore, hindering and embarrassing their professional successors.

The old faithful J. Mesue must have noticed the so-called “bad effects,” for he said, “Mastic removes them.” Later, S. Pauli, in Quadr. Botan., Vol. V., p. 245, wrote on the “Abuse of Aloes, and Greenshow (“Use and Abuse of Aloes,” in London Medical Gazette, Vol. IV, p. 319) enumerates a number of these effects. But they all avail nothing, for the chamber-pot must be full. Hence, oven Pereira rejects with scorn the assumption of such results. If his reasons are examined, we find that they all taper off to a boyish no.

Positive assertion is admissible even when proofs are insufficient, for it appeals to the future; and it becomes an injury only through credulous adherents, by whom, however, if it turns out to have been an error, it is, of necessity, in the end, controverted. But negative assertion is only admissible where there are completely valid, irrefutable proofs; for just as it is possible to make it, without understanding, even so can it be repeated and believed without understanding. But it always works mischief, and indeed increasing mischief, the more general it becomes or the more it comes to be the fashion. As soon as we take -this general ground, a new era in scientific knowledge must be inaugurated.

The following compilation contains all which has been communicated to me by Helbig and Buchner, and all which I could raise besides. Notice has been taken also of the mere opinions of ancient and modern times, since they stand as shadows whereby the appearances observed on the healthy organism are the better brought into relief. It seems to me that, in such a mixed, raw, incipient collection, as indeed the following is, which produces only an incomplete picture like the wood-cuts of Tabernamontanus, a salutary effect is put into operation, sometimes indeed enlightenment. Even what is contained in the notorious Real-Lexicon is also in part included, only it should be observed whether the symptoms are genuine or not. It is certainly advisable not to believe them until they are confirmed by others, but indeed the same can be said of many other symptoms which are received as bona fide. Even many individual symptoms of the provers may have depended upon some other conditions. As a matter of course Reception is by no means Adoption, and association is no stamp of genuineness. What harm can thence arise even if uncertain symptoms should be incorporated? Only heads of limited capacity can place too much reliance thereon; shall we now begin to pay regard to these?

A couple of cures, probably erroneously ascribed to Aloes, are quoted, but they should be examined more critically before it is too late, and hence especially they should be noticed here. In Holscher's Hannoverian Annals, Vol. IV., part 2, page 407, 1839, Biermann relates that cutaneous burns have been cured by Aloe perfoliata, the split fresh leaf being applied. Frank's Magazine, I, 180.

In Hufeland's Journal, Vol. LIV, part 2, page 66, 75, 1822, is recorded an extremely remarkable cure of deafness by means of the fresh juice of the Aloe leaf and a decoction of the juice. It is possible that both these cases relate to an entirely different plant, the Agave americana. This is universally called Aloe, particularly in German greenhouses, although it has nothing in common with it. Fresh leaves of the Agave can be easily obtained everywhere, whilst on the other hand the true Aloe plants are rare. These two plants are not at all likely to be confounded, but still it does happen and we cannot place any reliance whatever upon the gardeners in such matters. In Surinam, the leaves of the Agave are applied to burns. The cure of deafness certainly accords more with the action of Aloes, which is a great ear-remedy; still Agave may also be one and the addition of sugar is no evidence of bitterness.

Rau's administration of Aloes in dysentery has been repeatedly republished since 1824, without either this founder of the specific method or any later writer, within twenty-five years, giving anything more definite. The dysenteries are malarious fevers like the intermittent, and differ every year. If, therefore, a remedy cured attacks of dysentery, then all depends upon the question, what was the character of the epidemic and what the character of these particular cases. Unless this is answered, what is said amounts to just nothing at all. Whether indications are found in the following: symptoms whereby Aloes can become curative in many dysenteries, each one must search for himself. Thus much is certain, that Aloes produces no dysentery, strictly speaking, nor even similar symptoms, except in the most unblushing doses, in which a countless variety of remedies can in like manner produce the same. It is well known that the effects of Aloes are especially displayed in the pelvic organs. Now since dysentery has its seat in the large intestines, this fact would be enough for many people. Opium operates just as decidedly upon the organs in the pelvis, it also produces no dysentery, but in spite of this it not infrequently helps to relieve it. So Aloes may do the same thing also, without there being a necessity that it should have produced dysentery, if the characteristic symptoms are only similar, truly similar, that is to say the characteristics of the remedy and those of the disease. But symptoms of dysentery are not “characteristic;” they are “a pathological abstraction.”

The gap that is filled by Aloes is of so much the more importance, inasmuch as patients, who might have been easily and speedily cured by Aloes, when they have recourse to pill-dealers, promote the reputation and consequence of those worthless fellows. Without doubt Aloes is the principal ingredient of all such pills and the chief assistance of this imposture.

Aloes is generally applicable in cases where it has been hitherto recommended by the old school, only of course in those cases alone which correspond to the Aloe form; also, indeed, in cases where they cautioned against its use, likewise also in many cases in which they allowed themselves to dream of doing, neither one thing nor the other. We find it as useful in acute as in chronic disease, but above all, especially, in severe painful or dangerous developments of. chronic diseases for which it is indicated. In all such attacks it also would have been prophylactic.

Inasmuch as we administer this remedy in the same forms of disease, in which it has hitherto approved itself in numberless cases, just as we do in the case of Mercury, Cuprum, Antimony, Tartar emet., Saltpetre, Alum, Rhubarb, Senna, Jalap and many more of the same sort; and also, at the same time, in cases where, according to the erroneous but still consistent mode of conclusion of the old school, it is contraindicated, so it cannot at all be denied that with great readiness we blow hot and cold from the same mouth. Certainly this happens naturally enough, and for this same reason has developed itself here and there in homoeopathic literature with marvelous naivete. “We totter left. We totter right. We do the best. We do the worst. The tail hangs down behind us.” Should the patient become better, then the remedy has done it, which is very often true. Should he become worse, then it is also the medicine that has done it; that, also, is likewise often true. Does no success follow, then was the choice of the remedy wrong; but does success attend, then was it right. Is there still no success, even after all remedies are tried, then some are lacking; which is very often true. But the more remedies we have, the more difficult becomes the choice, more likely to become a wrong one; that, too, alas, is often true. We collect instances where the old school has cured, and justly, and place alongside instances where the remedy presents similarities, also justly. We make use of indication and contra-indication with equal zeal; for was the remedy contra-indicated; then it stands in relations of similarity; but it was only indicated, indeed where this same similarity was to be perceived. So the contradictions of the old school have been dragged over to our territory and associated to the contradictions which have necessarily accumulated from our drug provings and cures. No wonder that the hill of science is covered with cold snow, and many a mule with his string of bells has already been the cause of avalanches, whereby fruitful valleys have been overwhelmed.

Every thing constantly depends upon the old query, what is similar? And, inasmuch as this rests upon the question what is characteristic, we find it indispensable to come back to the question of the relative rank of individual symptoms. That works radical relief. Instead of this, the evil was palliated, whereby it was necessarily made worse. The remedy was theorized about, after the examples of the old school. It was circumscribed, limited, curtailed, stretched out, soaked, until the remedy became just as they would have it. — Thereby the empirical, the natural, the primitive of our Materia Medica acquired, it is true, a learned aspect, and it was hoped that it would now find more speedy admission among unbelievers, but all this was in reality only a fabrication like the placards of the Schneeberg snuff-boxes; for the fact that it was parodied in the terms of the present day did not after all change its nature — Hahnemann wrote down, as far as he was able, his observations in words, which after the lapse of a thousand years, will still preserve the same value.

His unfortunate amenders squeeze themselves out in the phraseology which happens to be in fashion, and for which the gallows is already erected. We have only to take a retrospective glance, to see how the old books swarm with the modes of expression in vogue at their day. The pictures of the sphere of action of medicines appear to us as through a damp thick night fog, such as settles over a dung-hill. But will it not, nay, must it not be just the same with all fashionable expressions with which the literature of our day is interlarded.

If critics should here feel themselves tempted “to make irrepressible remarks concerning the complete unsuitableness” of this introduction, I entreat them to consider well, and not forget, that Aloes is exceedingly bitter, wherefore then, not the preface also? They will scarcely “feel themselves compelled to recognize” the fitness of this remark. The old of the old school, as well as the new of the new, can deliver themselves of all contradictions easily and safely although not quickly, if they only resolve either to allow the old rat king of theories to continue to sit in a dusty mill, or to put him up in spirits and set him by as a curiosity. He who would take the trouble to extricate the complicated and interwoven tail of the aforesaid king of the rats, would verily get his fingers bitten and at the end get nothing more than a dozen and a half rats with crooked tails.

That which is peculiar in every case that presents itself must be clearly and distinctly defined, not, as now on the empirical platform, remain abandoned to good luck, the so called practical tact, the instinct of the artist.

We can accomplish this only in this way, that we apprehend in general the so-called drug diseases, and treasure up the characteristic form. If we do this the field must not become confused, and no pathological notions, which belong to another field, and which are borrowed from another field, are to be drawn over into this. Pictures of drug action must present themselves free, as if there were no other at all besides them. Then it is found that the same one may belong to a different realm, with many peculiar laws and oft varying language. It is found that antitheses are contained in every drug, which, at one time, have been called alternate action; at another preliminary and consequent, or primary and secondary action, and in relation to this, or in this, the peculiarity is particularized. These, moreover, must be repeated in a case of disease. These are symptoms of no pathological importance, that is to say, none, upon which pathologists constitute their families, their orders and their species. They are to be found only in individual cases, not in abstract pictures. That which occupies the very lowest rank in pathology, is the most important in the knowledge of remedies in discriminating between the divers drug actions. That which is the most important in pathology, is of the least consequence in the actions of drugs. Their relations then are reversed. And so the drug picture, which is most similar to the case to be cured, is at the same time in the greatest antithesis. “Similia similibus” and “Contraria contrariis” are only different comprehensions of the same law of cure, as I have hitherto affirmed and in 1826 allowed to be published.

It must especially be borne in mind in the following compilation, as in all others of the kind, that it is presented no farther than as a collection of individual symptoms, no complete edifice, only materials therefore.

The object is to make the previous experiences accessible, partly for the daily use of the practitioner, partly that thereby a scientific elaboration may become more possible. The problem is, to present everything which could be collected, so that it can be accessible, and what is most important, that all the individualities can be compared with each other.

The order followed in so doing, although an arbitrary one, is yet at best the Hahnemannian, which has been adopted by common consent, and is therefore the more convenient.

It is one step farther, that this foundation, thus given which for this very reason must be given, is elaborated to the delineation of a drug action. We older Homoeopathists desire with Hahnemann that every one should learn to do this for himself. It is certainly convenient if one will do this for the many. And this gradually becomes more necessary for the time with the overpowering mass of material, after a while indispensable. For in that case the many become dependant upon the views of the one. And every laborer will, although the same materials are before him, make out a different action according as he takes this or that view, that is to say, according to his valuation of the rank of individual symptoms.

REPORTS OF THE PROVERS are at present withheld, and as far as possible substituted by references in the compilation.

HELBIG took five grains of Aloes in the afternoon and observed many symptoms; he observed single symptoms in others. HENKE took in proving ”a” ten drops of the tincture, in proving ”b” thirty drops in the morning, in proving ”c“ two grains triturated with double the amount of sugar of milk, early in the morning. L. S. (a medical student from Volhynia, SCHRETER?) took two grains of the substance. PREU took Aloe lucida or Capensis triturated with three times its weight of sugar of milk and made four proving, the morning ”a“ two grains, ”b“ three grains, ”c“ two grains, ”d“ four grains. A. B., a physician between twenty land thirty years old, proved under Hahnemann's guidance, in 1833; he commenced with olfaction, he took globules and afterward the substance, these observations are distinguished by ”I.“In November previous, he commenced olfaction from a vial an inch and a half high, in which was one globule the size of a hemp-seed, which H. had some time before medicated with Aloes”, and felt after an hour distinct action; the second day he repeated the same, at the same hour; the fourth day again; the fifth day he took at noon, half an hour before eating, a poppy seed sized globule of the thirtieth; the sixth day the same; again the seventh day; again the eighth day; the ninth day, at eleven o'clock, twenty-four globules, whereupon all the previous symptoms were surprisingly aggravated and increased; the thirteenth day he took, at three, p.m., one globule; the sixteenth day he repeated the olfaction. Under observation marked “II,” four weeks later, at six, a.m., fasting, one grain of Aloes. Under observation marked “III” again, more than a week later, in the forenoon, in full health, four grains of the best Aloes, coarsely broken, and gulped it down with six swallows of water.

Most of the provings of this country were instituted with the 1/10 trituration of the real Socotra Aloes. C. HERING took one dose of this, and afterward a higher, without repetition (Jenichen received his trituration from Lappe). DR. J. JEANES and DR. KOCH had in part other preparations, the former higher, the latter lower. DR. NEIDHARD took, in the first proving “a,” a grain of the 1/10 trituration; in proving “b” a like dose every evening for two weeks. DR. C. RAUE took the 1/10 trituration every hour, three times m the evening and twice the next morning, until he had distinct symptoms, which, although they exhibited only a slight effect, still could be plainly distinguished for three days. DR. W. WILLIAMSON made his curative experiments in the cholera summer, 1849,
