Poisonings

1. A singular case occurred in Germany a few years since, wherein a medico-legal question arose respecting the poisonous properties of A. A woman aged 43, not labouring under any apparent disease, swallowed 2 dr. of powdered A. in coffee. Violent diarrhoea supervened, and she died the following morning, 12 hours after having taken the medicine. On inspection, the stomach was found partially, and the small intestine extensively, inflamed. There was nothing else to account for death, and this was referred to the effect of the A. (TAYLOR, Poisons, sub voce.).

Experiments on animals

1. Moiroud injected into the veins of a horse ziv of A. dissolved in water with a little alcohol, and the next day zj more, without any other effect than the evacuation of a large quantity of urine. The dung, however, was enveloped by a thin pellicle, formed by altered intestinal mucus. (PEREIRA, op. cit.) 2. To a young dog gr. iij were given twice, once 14 hours and again 2 hours before death. Liver was quite natural, moderately full of blood, gall-bladder moderately distended with yellowish bile. The whole length of the intestinal canal was tinged yellow by the bile which had flowed out, [ Dr. Rutherford, in his recent experiments on dogs, found A. an undoubted cholagogue.-EDS] but was otherwise normal. There was accumulation of oily matter in the central cells of the lobules of the liver; it also contained distinct whitish spots about the size of a pin’s head. The cells were generally pale granular bodies, and did not contain more than a very decided yellow tint. The ducts were very distinct, being rendered opaque by oily deposits between their nuclei. (HANDFIELD JONES, Medorrhinum -Chir. Trans., xxxv, 255.).

Richard Hughes
Dr. Richard Hughes (1836-1902) was born in London, England. He received the title of M.R.C.S. (Eng.), in 1857 and L.R.C.P. (Edin.) in 1860. The title of M.D. was conferred upon him by the American College a few years later.

Hughes was a great writer and a scholar. He actively cooperated with Dr. T.F. Allen to compile his 'Encyclopedia' and rendered immeasurable aid to Dr. Dudgeon in translating Hahnemann's 'Materia Medica Pura' into English. In 1889 he was appointed an Editor of the 'British Homoeopathic Journal' and continued in that capacity until his demise. In 1876, Dr. Hughes was appointed as the Permanent Secretary of the Organization of the International Congress of Homoeopathy Physicians in Philadelphia. He also presided over the International Congress in London.
