Causes emaciation and consumption (Taking together symptoms 331, 332, 337 to 379, along with above observations of STAHL’s we can understand how some kinds of ulcerative pulmonary phthisis have been cured homoeopathically by means of tin; e.g. MURALTUS (Misc. Nat. Cur., Dec. ii, ann. I, obs.9), Commerc. lit. Nor., ann. 1734, p. 67, FR. HOFFMANN (Opera. Tom. ii, sect. 2, c. 13, 14.), THIERRY (Med, Experiment., Cogn. Et Cur. Morb., § 646), without including the corroborative testimony I could myself adduce in proof of its curative virtue in such diseases.) [STAHL, l. c.]

580. By day great weariness; he must lie down, but cannot sleep; of he dozes off he gets thereafter vertigo and a kind of absence of mind and stupidity, for half an hour.

When he goes upstairs quickly, or otherwise moves quickly, he does not feel his weakness so much while so moving as when he moves slowly, but he feels all the weaker afterwards. [Gss.]
In the limbs and in the whole body he trembles much; he has no steadiness in them – when he grasps anything firmly the hand does not tremble, but it does so when he lays it down lightly and loosely. [Gss.]

585. (True epilepsy. (In a boy, aged 7, subject to attacks of convulsions in the morning, before eating (combined with jalap-powder). If this effect is properly attributable to the tin, then we can understand how DON. MONRO (Arzneimittel., I, p. 226) and FOTHERGILL (Medorrhinum Observ. and Inquir., Lond., 1784 vi) Could cure similar affections with tin, and how QUINCY (Nov. Dispensat.) could say:’There is no more powerful anti-epileptic than tin.” ) [MEYER ABRAHAM, Diss. Cauteloe de Anthelminth., Gotting., 1782.]
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.
