Characteristics
Snails have a traditional virtue in curing consumption, and homœopaths have put the remedy to the test by potentising it. W. H. Leonard (Med. Adv., xxii. 310) reports two cases cured with Helix t. c.m. (1) A gentleman had frequent attacks of hæmoptysis. Continuous hoarseness; dry, tickling cough; < at night, preventing sleep; dyspnœa, < ascending stairs. He had already had all the usual remedies. Helix tost. c.m., three powders given. There was no more hæmorrhage. A few weeks later a return was feared and a few more doses were given. Four months later the patient was greatly improved in health and remained well. (2) A lady of tubercular diathesis developed the disease after confinement. Several well-indicated remedies failed to check its progress. At length hæmorrhage set in. Helix was given as in the other case with prompt effect. Hæmorrhage ceased; cough and expectoration gradually improved, and in eight months the patient was well and remained so.
