5 b. I myself once gave tinct. to a girl with dysmenorrhoea, a drop every hour at first, then every 1/2 hour. When I saw her she had no pains, but said her head felt strange and wild; her pupils were dilated, she talked incoherently, and exclaimed that she saw rats, mice, and insects on bed, floor, and ceiling. She also complained of a distressing roaring in head.
5 c. A lady who was taking 5 dr. of the Ix for rheumatism, was annoyed with an illusion as of a mouse running from under her chair. This illusion disappeared upon suspending the medicine, and recurred when taking it in same doses. (HALE, New Remedies, 2nd and 5th ed.).For provings of Macrotinum, see Appendix to this volume.
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.
