ARUM MURIATICUM Cases

-GEORGE VITHOULKAS
Aurum Mur. in Insomnia, etc. Dr. Clifford Mitchell (Med. Era) had good results with this drug in a case of sacral neuralgia, insomnia, and depression of spirits. The remedy was prescribed to relieve troublesome nocturnal urination, which was very annoying - the night urine being considerably in excess of the day. The whole of the symptoms disappeared.

Grotzner relates the case of an old man, who had suffered from dropsy, having its origin apparently in a paralysis of the bladder, and who had incontinence of urine, especially at night. The chloride of gold was given with happy effect, and gradually resulted in powerful voluntary urination and recovery. Rusts's Mag., 21. h. 1. , p. 28.

1. C.G. , aged 10. December 1st 1920. Suffering from congenital heart disease. Attacks of feeling quite dead beat. Acute palpitation on exertion. Huge appetite, and loves sweets. Loves the wind, "opens her arms and would hug it". Very bright and happy, with occasional fits of depression.
On examination: Very small, small hands and feet, rather a fat face. Heart very much enlarged. Marked double murmur all over the precordia. No cyanosis. No enlargement of the liver. Fingers not clubbed. Aurum mur. 1m1, S. L., 30 Mane.

2. In 1924, Mr. P., aged between 60 and 70, had been consulting me for several weeks for mental depression and loss of sleep. He was of independent means and was worrying about some rather speculative investments which he had been making, the market value of which was steadily falling. He was of medium height, thick-set build, of dark swarthy complexion and dictatorial in manner. Functions normal, prostate hypertrophied, with some urinary frequency and probably some residual urine, but no albuminuria. Blood pressure high, about 180 usually, but it would go up to 210 or over if he was excited or put out. On one occasion this happened in my consulting room when I had said something that made him angry, but it rapidly fell to his normal after I had been able to calm him down. One day I was sent for urgently because he had gone out of his mind and had attempted suicide by trying to jump out of a third floor window. I found him delirious and under the restraint of two male nurses. Fortunately the wife had a horror of him being taken to an asylum (not called mental hospitals in those days), and implored me to treat him at home, which I consented to do. He was kept in bed attended by two male nurses night and day and given Aurum muriaticum 3x trit. every three hours. In a couple of days he was no longer delirious and was comparatively calm in mind. In a week he was his usual self, but it was thought advisable to retain the services of the nurses for another week as a precaution, after which they were dismissed. He had lost a good deal of his usual depression and, as luck would have it, his doubtful shares went up in value again, which no doubt contributed to his greater cheerfulness. He died some years after from kidney disease consequent on his enlarged prostate and high blood-pressure.

Now as a link between skin cases and tumours may I just briefly report a case of mycosis fungoides which responded very nicely to homoeopathic remedies.
This condition, as most of you know, is characterized, amongst other symptoms, by the appearance of more or less irritating skin tumours.
The patient was a man, aged 63, who for seven months before consulting me had noticed the development of small irritating tumours almost universally distributed over the body. After having been very ill in himself for some months, when I saw him his general health was fair, but he still had his tumours. On putting him through an exhaustive examination, including the biopsy of a tumour, the diagnosis of mycosis fungoides was definitely established. As there was nothing definite beyond the irritation on which to base a homoeopathic prescription, he was given a dose of sulph. 200 at the beginning of February, 1927, which allayed considerably the irritation, but did not affect the tumours, for which on April 12, 1927, he was given aur. mur. 4x b.d. for a month, at the end of which time the tumours on his face and back were much smaller; this was repeated for another month and he was given carb. veg. 30 to be taken occasionally at night as flatulence disturbed his sleep.
I lost sight of him for six months, and then on his return his face was quite cleared of tumours and those on the back and limbs were much smaller. He was advised to continue the aurum, which he had omitted for some months. I did not see him again for sixteen months, by which time all the tumours had disappeared. Unfortunately my notes do not show how long he continued the aurum.

Inflammation of frontal sinus. Miss H., an elderly lady of gouty stock and subject to rheumatoid arthritis, had attacks of severe pain in the frontal region, worse on the left side. They came on suddenly with irritation in the left ear, followed by violent fits of sneezing, and pain and weight in the region of the left frontal sinus. The pain would last for a week and then be relieved by discharge of brownish coloured mucus from the left nostril. Sense of smell lost during the attacks. Tenderness to pressure at the inner and upper angle of the left orbit. Washing out the left frontal sinus through the nose brought away a small amount of pus. Aurum mur. 3x soon rendered her quite free from the attacks.
(Monthly Homoeopathic review, March, 1894).
- Inflammation of frontal sinus. Miss R., aged 39. Attacks of discharge from the nose coming on every five or six weeks for the last two years. First a headache, with intense burning pain in the region of the left frontal sinus on bending the head forwards, then a feeling of something giving way very high up in the left side of the nose and immediate discharge of about a tablespoonful of clear fluid, which continued three or four days. The headache is worse from warm applications. After the acute symptoms are gone hearing and smell become abnormally acute. Examination showed nothing beyond a general hyperaemia of the nasal mucous membrane. After the failure of a number of drugs Aurum mur. 3x, t.d. s., quite cured her of the attacks.

- Inflammation of frontal sinus. Woman, aged 39. Repeated attacks of inflammation of left frontal sinus, sudden, preceded by headache, then intense burning in the region of the sinus, worse bending the head forwards. Discharge of glairy, often blood-stained fluid followed. Attacks lasted several days accompanied by fever, hyperosmia, and hyperacusis, and left her very weak. After the failure of many drugs Aurum mur. was given and from that date she was freed from her complaint.

The above three cases are quoted in their brief form in The British Homoeopathic Journal, Vol 29, No. 2, pp. 188,189.
Dr. H. R. Arndt, of San Diego, related a case of a woman who early in life had indulged in excessive masturbation, been the mistress of a hard character, and finally married a steady-paced man. But, though wanting to be a faithful wife, she was beset with a passionate longing for her old paramour, and would lie by her husband and "produce upon herself orgasm after orgasm before being able to go to sleep." During the day periods of frightful depression with suicidal tendency would alternate with spells of unbounded wrath." Aurum Mur. every two to four hours soon made a sane and cured woman of her. The doctor further said: "I know of no pathogenesy in our entire Materia Medica which more graphically describes an actual natural disease as do the symtpoms of gold describe the effects of certain forms of general, mental and nervous troubles arising from sexual depravity, especially those severe functional disorders which are due to excessive and long-continued masturbation in the sexually immature".
