Arsenicum Hydrogenisatum
Hering, The Guiding Symptoms of our Materia Medica, 1879, Vol. II, p. 98
Arsenetted hydrogen. AsHs.
We had no provings of this very important combination until 1847, when C.Hg prepared and proved it. What is given in Allen's Encyclopaedia are accidental poisonings, which mostly prove fatal. The only clinical experiments have been made by Doctor Drysdale, in ]849, in the treatment of Asiatic cholera. Laboring under the mistake that Arsenicum was a specific in Cholera Asiatic, and supposing to get something more powerful in the arsenetted hydrogen, he altogether overlooked that, notwithstanding its sudden action, it would not correspond to subacute ailments, on account of the very slow development of its symptoms. Nearly all persons poisoned even by small doses died in the second week. The only one that recovered, suffered for seven weeks. The only real cure on record is the one published by F. W. Payne, in the New England Medical Gazette.
The similarity of some cases of Asiatic Cholera with the symptoms of the common arsenic is, according to Hahnemann's advice to Staph, in 1813, regarding Nux vom. and Ignat., too great. They are no antidotes.
The authorities quoted in Allen's Encyclopaedia are: 1. Gehlen, Buchner Tox., 1827 ; 2, R. Schindler, Grsefe and Walter Journal, Val. XXVI, No. 4, p. 626 ; 3, Eisenmenger, Zeitfur Horn. Kl., No. 1, p. 103 ; 4, O'Really, Duh- Uh Journal, 1842; 5, Ollivier, Gaz. d. Hop., 1863, to which we add the case of J. E. Bullock, died on 12th day, at Dr. Beard's, (Gmelin, Chemie II, p. C90), and the reports of Dr. Richardson, in Calcutta, and some remarks of Berzelius, Bennecke and others.
Provers are marked, C.Hg., Hm., N.N., F.K., Rh., Ea. In this instance we depart from our usual rule of omitting the names of the provers from the arrangement of symptoms (which would swell the book to too large a size) on account of the provings of Arsenicum hydrogenisatum not having been published.
