Clinical
Characteristics
The poisonous properties of the berries and leaves of the potato plant are well known, and the tubers are popularly believed to have anti-scorbutic properties when eaten as food. Under some conditions the tubers have been known to contain poisonous quantities of Solanin. The symptoms of the Schema are the result of eating new potatoes, green potatoes, an extract, and the berries. The last proved fatal in a number of instances. Sickness and diarrhœa with tenesmus, giddiness, dilated pupils and indistinct vision, a paralytic condition of the tongue, cramps, and tetanic spasms are the main features of the poisonings. Cooper relieved with a single dose of Sol. t. Ø a case of rheumatic iritis. Burnett cured a case of tumours feeling like masses of potatoes in the abdomen with Sol. t.; and it assisted him in the cure of a case of tumours all round the cervix uteri. Urt. ur. finished this cure.

Clinical Tips & Practitioner Insights
"TUBERCULINUM should never be forgotten and should be administered at the commencement of the treatment for tubercular meningitis. It is a constitutional remedy and prevents as well as cures. Give a single dose of 200 dilution and no medicine for 6 to 12 hours, unless the patient-s condition demands immediate change to another indicated medicine."
By Dr. R.B.Das
Tubercular Meningitis
"Always keep TUBERCULINUM in mind when treating sore throats, with frequent tonsillitis and enlarged tonsils."
By Dr. T.K.Moore, M.D.
Sore Throat
"In bowel tuberculosis, with enlarged lymph nodes - there comes the matter of differentiating the different kinds of TUBERCULINUM; I have found that TUBERCULINUM BOVINUM helps more when there is tuberculosis of the glands, and bowel tuberculosis."
By Dr. Wilbur K. Bond, M.D.
Bowel Tuberculosis
"TUBERCULINUM is almost routinely successful for herpes cincinata, when other symptoms are lacking."
By Dr. A.D.T.Pulford, M.D.
Herpes
"When the pneumonia hangs fire and refuses to clear up, and a tuberculous history is elicited and TUB. BOV. is given, there is apt to be a rise of temperature for a few hours, then it stops and does not rise again while the patient makes the desired recovery."
By Dr. M.L.Tyler, M.D.
Pneumonia
"Early diagnosis of an incipient renal tuberculosis is the most simple procedure. A dose of TUBERCULINUM discloses in nearly all cases not only the tubercular character of the disease, but also the location."
By Dr. W.Karo, M.D.
Renal Tuberculosis
"If TUBERCULINUM BOVINUM be given in 10m, 50m and cm potencies, two doses of each potency at long intervals, all children and young people who have inherited tuberculosis may be immunised from their inheritance and their resiliency will be restored."
By Dr. J.T. Kent, M.D.
Children
"I have cured probably 100 cases of adenoids with TUBERCULINUM alone ."
By Dr. J.T. Kent, M.D.
Adenoids
"TUBERCULIN in high potency is a remedy for amenorrhoea which I find very useful when various indicated remedies fail to bring on flow in psoric patients."
By Dr. Ghosh, M.D.
Amenorrhoea
"Koch-s TUBERCULINUM was claimed as a remedy for Lupus rather than for tuberculosis. It has proved curative in the 30th and 200th homoeopathic potencies, in rarely repeated doses, as also has BACILLINUM."
By Dr. Ruddock, M.D., Dr. Nixon, M.R.C.S.
