(Frequent micturition, (The primary actions of squill on the urinary passages is at first a great urging to urinate, 145, with copious discharge of urine, 136, especially of colourless urine, 134, 146; at least, when it is not copious, it is watery, 141. After the expiry of this primary and positive action of squill, there occurs after several hours the reaction (secondary action) of the organism, as the opposite of the primary medicinal action, namely, slight call to urinate, scanty secretion of the urine and rarer discharge of it, 139, 140, sometimes of the usual colour, 141, but more frequently of darker colour, 135, 144, and also with great urging to pass it, but only scanty, 137, or even wit no evacuation of urine, 148. Now, as hitherto all this was known, not ascertained, the very way to do so not being known, it was impossible that any true cures of dropsical diseases could be made with squill during all those thousands of years (very long before the Greeks, this drug was considered in Egypt as the only remedy for these diseases), hence most of these so affected were all the more certainly hurried to their graves by its employment. There was always great rejoicing because at first it brought away so much urine, and a speedy cure was joyfully anticipated but it was not known that this was only the primary action of squill, and in such cases the opposite of the actual morbid state, consequently only palliative. With sorrow it was perceived that notwithstanding an increase of the doses, nothing but the contrary effect (secondary action) could be maintened, to wit, a scanty quantity of dark urine, becoming ever rarer and rarer. Only the few dropsical diseases (for they are extremely numerous, and the dropsy is only a single symptoms of them; hence the general term dropsy, which should include then all, as though they are but one unvarying disease, is an unpardonable falsehood of the pathologists)(only those few dropsical affections whose symptoms can be found in tolerable similarity among the positive effects of squill, whose symptoms relating to the urinary discharge particularly correspond to those primary symptoms of squill recorded above (and such cases are rare), can be really and permanently cured by squill. Those kind of wasting diseases (diabetes) will be much more likely to find an efficacious, specific remedy in squill, which in its primary action causes increased secretion of urine, the more so as it is homoeopathically suitable in respect to the similarity of the other symptoms of these maladies.) Without increase of the urine (in the first hours).

170. Dry violent cough which causes pain like as shock in the abdomen and dryness of the throat.
Cough with diminished expectoration (aft. 9 d.); at every cough impulse painful pressure outwards in the thoracic cavity and painful contraction of the abdominal muscles. [Ws.]
A cough, at first accompanied by expectoration. (All my observations show that squill excites the mucous glands of the trachea and bronchial tubes, so that the phlegm, rendered more movable and thinner, can be expelled by coughing, only in its primary action. [See 172, 173, 174, 178, 180.) Hence its employment as a so-called expectorant can be only palliative, that is to say, its continued employment must certainly increase the malady if the fulness of the chest from tough adherent mucus was a chronic complaint, for after this primary expectorant action the organism produces the opposite state as its secondary action; the mucus of the bronchial glands becomes ever tougher, and the cough drier. (See 166, 167, 170, 171.) This root will therefore rather prove curative in too copious and too frequent mucous secretion on the chest, as was formerly insisted on by WEIKARD. )
Hahnemann's three major publications chart the development of homeopathy. In the Organon of Medicine, we see the fundamentals laid out. Materia Medica Pura records the exact symptoms of the remedy provings. In his book, The Chronic Diseases, Their Peculiar Nature and Their Homoeopathic Cure, he showed us how natural diseases become chronic in nature when suppressed by improper treatment.
