3. A man took 1 gr. of Juglandin 3 times in d. While walking in evening, felt sharp wrenching pain in left side, and suffocating sensation in chest, compelling him to stand still for some m. for breath. This, however, did not alleviate pain, but 5 dr. of bryonia tinct. did so immediately. Being under impression that pain was from indigestion, he continued medicine next day; and same symptoms recurred about the same time, again relieved by bryonia. (BURNETT, M. H.R., xxii, 206.)
4. A strong healthy woman took 1st dil. for several weeks for eczema of hands. It seemed to produce the following symptoms: – “Feeling as if all internal organs were too large, especially those of left side; very slight nose – bleed daily, for 5 or 6 day; feeling ‘all – overish, ‘ as if bad illness were coming on; pain in centre of chest at various times by day and n., with foreboding feeling at n., – walking about did not aggravate pain; very pale complexion.” (Ibid.).
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.
