CANTHARIS

by

23. We learn from experiment [*”Dr.Nottingham, of this town (Liverpool), tells me that he made a series of experiments many years ago which distinctly proved this. He has recently repeated them with like results.”*] that blisters applied to the thorax of dogs and rabbits will produce redness and absolute inflammation of the pleura and peritoneum in patches distinctly corresponding to the vesicated surface of the skin. My friend Dr. Cameron has seen, after death, vascularity of the pleura in men, corresponding with blisters applied to the side a short time before death. He has met with cases in which a friction – sound has followed their application to the thorax within 24 hours after their use, no such sound having been audible before. Another physician has been a patch of lung inflamed of the precise dimensions of a blister applied to the side. (INMAN, Foundation for a New Theory and Practice of Medicine, p. 322.)

24. F.T. -, aet.17, had been all day engaged in making emplastrum cantharides, standing over pain in which material was boiling. Towards close of day he was affected with following symptoms: – Great dimness of sight, smarting and burning in lids and globes; constant lachrymation; eyes turned to nose; twitching of lids; could not close eyes without great pain, chiefly from smarting of lids; there was considerable redness and much appearance of distress. Camphor was given. Next morning everything appeared to him yellow; nose was also considerably affected, some swelling with redness and heat within as well as without, with appearance of suffering from very severe coryza. On 3rd days, eyes were well, and nose nearly so. ( Brit. Journ. of Hom., iv, 91.).

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.
