TUBERCULINUM AVIARE

Made from chicken, acts on apices of lungs. Its sphere of action is in post - influenzal bronchitis in which field it excels. It relieves the teasing, exhausting cough. History of influenza is an important indication. Baker says Tub. aviare 30x has served better than any other remedy for prostration after influenza. Tub. aviare 1M in its known sphere of bronchitis and influenza may be said to offer a valuable suggestion for the annoying, teasing cough so often remaining after the active symptoms of larger significance have subsided. In a good many such instances Aviare 1000 has put an immediate end to this cough and any related discomforts.

Jaisoorya remarks "I have treated cases of broncho - pneumonia of over 400 rickety children with only one death and the secret is Aviare 30, one single dose." Hayes says that in his experience Tuberculinum bovinum benefits patients with pronounced localizations in the meninges, abdomen, skin, glands or joints; but the Aviare in those who have more evident depreciation of quality in the entire person at the same time such as after grippe or similar crises. (Sankaran)

Tuberculin from birds - acts on the apices of the lungs; has proved an excellent remedy in influenzal bronchitis; symptoms similar to tuberculosis; relieves the debility, diminishes the cough, improves the appetite, and braces up the whole organism; acute bronchopulmonary diseases of children; itching of palms and ears; COUGH, acute, inflammatory, irritating, incessant, and tickling; loss of strength and appetite (Boericke)

A preparation of chicken-tuberculosis introduced by Dr. Cartier and other homeopaths of Paris. Dr. Cartier gave an account of this nosode in his paper read at the International Homeopathic Congress, 1896 (Transactions, Part "Essays and Communications," p. 187). Aviaire acts most prominently on the apices of the lungs, and it corresponds most closely to the bronchitis of influenza, which simulates tuberculosis, having cured several hopeless-looking cases.

It has also done excellently in some cases of bronchitis following measles. The bacillus of avian tuberculosis has been identified with that of human tuberculosis, but the clinical properties of the two nosodes are not identical. (Clarke)

STOCK
It is the question of Aviary tuberculine used mainly by the veterinary doctors for a diagnostic aim. It enters into the category of biotherapics. The preparation of the Aviary tuberculine is mentioned in the codes which specifies in the article on Tuberculine that for the diagnosis of tuberculosis affections due to bacillary Aviary and therefore more particularly in veterinary medicine, one may prepare an uncultured tuberculine, without addition of antiseptics, with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis, var. "Aviary".

Its preparation then does not differ in any way from that of Tuberculinum if it is not of the nature of bacillinum utilised (see Tuberculinum).

It is perhaps better to indicate that the action of Aviary does not develop at 100, 000 IU in gramme required for uncultured Tuberculine. The Biotherapic Aviary is identical to the old Aviary nosode, the stock which is used being the same.

HISTORY
The aviary tuberculine or Bird tuberculine was used, according to Cartier, by Pierre Jousset towards 1900, in human tuberculosis. According to P. Jousset the therapeutic results in that affection does hardly seem fortunate. On the contrary Cartier specified the prescription of Aviary in Non - tubercular diseases of the respiratory system. He published an article, "Aviary and Bacillinum" in the Revue Hom. Fr., and presented in 1896, a communication in the International Homoeopathic Congress under the title, "Des virus tuberculeux en therapeutique Homeopathiques" (Some tuberculous virus in Homoeopathic therapeutics). He insists on the indication of Aviary in the acute pulmonary affections and established also a difference between Bacillinum and Aviary. While he indicates Bacillinum in case of muco purulent expectoration of adults or of old, he assigns clearly to Aviary "a place in the broncho - pulmonary diseases of children and in acute affections of adults, such as influenza, simulating some acute bacillary symptoms". He prescribes the 100th dilution in repeated doses in portion containing 5 to 10 drops a day.

Cartier thinks that Aviary is a marvellous medicine in infantile therapeutic as in broncho - pneumonia and measles.

Then in I'Art Medicae appeared an article by Sourice of Havre and E. Vannier of Rouen concerning a grave case of infantile broncho - pneumonia cured by Aviary. Clarke gives a short clinical pathogenesis in his Dictionary of Materia Medica. In contemporary French homoeopathic literature some short indications are to be found in the matiere Medicale du Practicien Homoeopathie of Dr. Voisin, in Traite d' Homoeopathic de H. Bernad and that of Kollitsch. O. A. Julian has included a monograph in his book Biotherapiques et Nosodes as well as in the Materia Medica der Nosoden of which a second edition in published in 1975.

COMMENTARIES
The want of an experimental pathogenesis is to be regretted because Aviary is a very valuable remedy, specially in acute affections of respiratory tract. Its action is sure and faithful. (O. A. Julian) It should be prescribed with adequate homoeotherapics in rhino - pharyngitis, influenza with tracheo - bronchitis, pulmonary congestion of children and of aged persons. It is also to be used in cervical adenopathies of children and in asthma of young children. Voisin indicates it in acute otitis, and in broncho - pneumonia; H. Bernard recommends it in tuberculosis of bones and of ganglions and in infantile asthma; Kollitsh in dragging pulmonary congestion. (Julian's Nosodes)

COMMENTS
Anshutz relates a case of a woman who entered the hospital suffering from influenza and who, a few days after a slight amelioration of her symptoms, was attacked with a pulmonary congestion, clearly localized in the top of the left lung and accompanied by all the clinical symptoms of tuberculosis.

Rales and moist crepitation, dullness, exaggeration of the thoracic vibration, expectoration, fever, perspiration, spitting of blood. Examination of the sputa showed distinctly the presence of Koch's bacilli. Anshutz gave her Tub. Aviaire and in three weeks all the symptoms had left. That woman left the hospital completely cured and a year later her health was still perfect. Anshutz noted ten cases of influenzal bronchitis with incessnat coughs, fever and expectoration, rapidly cured by Tub. Aviaire. It seems that Tub. Aviaire does not act in diminishing the cough like an anodyne, but braces up the whole organism. The relief of debility and the return of appetite are the phenomena which was observed in conjunction with the diminution of the cough.In contrast with Bacillinum, Tub. Aviaire has considerable cough and little dyspnea. It has an acute, irritating cough, such as one meets with in acute diseases or sub-acute disorders in young people. A cough which fatigues and which leads to enfeeblement and loss of appetite, a suspicious cough.

Aviaire is prepared from chicken tuberculosis and appears to act most markedly on the apices of the lungs. This is one of the least potent of the tuberculins and has come to be thought of for individuals who display a persistent tendency to "take cold". It has a real value as a prophylactic for this susceptibility to germs of catarrh. The same may be said of the serum of Marmorek which can be repeated with little danger of reaction more frequently than some of the other tuberculins. This may be of advantage when continuous infection is prevalent for people constantly exposed to it. Bacillinum is another excellent prophylactic against colds, and can be combined to advantage with Influenzinum. Aviaire has also helped in advanced pulmonary cases where it would be dangerous to use a more active preparation for fear of producing a harmful reaction, but where the patient benefits from a milder stimulus. Its prophylactic virtue is less effective. It has also been regarded as a valuable remedy in influenzal bronchitis and in some cases of bronchitis following measles. (Wheeler)

Last year I had under my care, at the Hospital St. Jacques, a truly extraordinary case. It has been followed out by Dr. Jousset, by Dr. Cesar, head of the hospital laboratory, and by the house-physicians. It was that of a woman who entered the hospital suffering from influenza, and who, a few days after a slight amelioration of her symptoms, was attacked with a pulmonary congestion, clearly localized in the top of the left lung, and accompanied by all the clinical symptoms of tuberculosis - rales and moist crepitation, dullness, exaggeration of the thoracic vibration, nummular expectoration, fever, perspiration, spitting of blood - everything was there. Examination of the sputa showed distinctly the presence of Koch's bacilli. Every one at the hospital diagnosed tuberculosis, myself the first. I gave her Avian tuberculin and in three weeks all the symptoms had disappeared. That woman left the hospital completely cured, and a year afterwards her health was still perfect. In my opinion this patient never had consumption; she was attacked with pseudophymic bronchitis - a complication which is very often found with influenza, and which may very easily be mistaken for tuberculosis; and in spite of the presence in the sputa of Koch's bacillus I would not register it as a case of tuberculosis, because, in contradiction to that single case, I could mention twenty cases of tuberculosis whose symptoms neither Avian tuberculin nor any other such drug has cured.

There is absolutely no connection between the clinical evolution of real tuberculosis and observation based on the autopsies of old persons whose lungs contain cavities, but whose death was not due to tuberculosis. To admit, with Professor Brouardel, that three-fourths of those who have died a violent death are possessed of tuberculosis lesions, whose existence was not suspected while the subject was living, would be running absolutely counter to clinical experience. The time is probably at hand when the different kinds of tuberculosis will be distinguished and separated, as we distinguish and separate the varieties of serous pleurisy and purulent pleurisy, of bronchopneumonia arising from the presence of pneumococci, of streptococci, or of staphylococci. Mallassez has already described cases of pseudotuberculosis, or zoogleic-tuberculosis, whose existence has only been acknowledged of late years. Courmont has discovered a pseudo-bacillosis of a bovine origin. We have a pseudo-bacillosis of a strepto-bacillar origin, not to mention the "professional" tuberculoses, such as that to which persons are exposed who have to breathe the fumes of charcoal.

In L'Art Medical (August 1895) I published a number of cases in which I successfully treated localized bronchitis, generally the result of influenza, and reproducing the symptoms of tuberculosis, with which I have spoken above. The patient was restored to health as if by magic with Aviaire within three weeks. Dr. P. Jousset, anticipating my observations, thus expressed himself in the number of L'Art Me'dical preceding the one which contained my remarks: "A young woman entered the Hospital St. Jacques at the end of January, 1895, with feverish influenzal bronchitis. At first the patient was treated with small doses of Sulphate of quinine and a little later she took Ipecac and Bryonia alternately. The fever disappeared and the general condition improved considerably, and the subcrepitant rales became confined to the top of the left lung. The patient continued to expectorate thick nummular and puriform sputa, as in the influenza. After some days the disease resumed its sway, the bodily forces diminished, the emaciation made great progress, the local and general signs indicated rapid consumption. Bacteriological analysis led to the detection of numerous Koch's bacilli. I gave over the case this time, and some weeks afterwards I learned with surprise that the patient was well and growing fat, and that the inoculation of the sputa had produced no effects. The cure has been maintained for three months, and the young woman has resumed her employment." I had prescribed Aviaire 100th, five drops a day, during the whole period of the disease, unaccompanied by any other remedy. As I have said before, more than a year afterwards the young woman continued in good health.

Following this case Dr. Jousset quoted two analogous instances in his practice, both of influenzal bronchitis, in which the sputa contained, for a certain period, Koch's bacillus. One was cured with Aviaire 6th and strong doses of Sulphate of quinine, and the other with Aviaire 6th and twenty drops of tincture of Drosera, a day.

"What conclusions must I draw from these facts?" says Dr. Jousset. "That the avian tuberculosis cured the consumption? I have failed too often in the treatment of ordinary consumption with this remedy to admit that." That is my opinion also. Koch's bacillus had been found in the nasal secretions of healthy hospital nurses, and of students of medicine, as noted by Strauss. Would it not be possible to come across it accidentally in certain kinds of expectoration, just as the pneumococcus is found in saliva?

In one of the numbers of a La Medicine Moderne of last year there appeared a short article on the "Influenza known as pseudophymic." The writer remarked on the strong analogy with certain complications of pulmonary influenza presented to acute tuberculosis. He observed, among other forms: 1st, the influenzal bronchitis which affected one of the summits of the lung, the most difficult form to diagnose from tuberculosis: 2nd; the bronco-pneumonic form; 3rd, the pleuro-pneumonic form, bearing a close resemblance to tuberculous pleurisy. I might remark that this last form is still little known and ill-defined. The influenza microbe always imitates to a remarkable degree the microbe of tuberculosis in certain instances; if we wish to effect a cure on the laws laid down by Hahnemann in certain forms of influenzal bronchitis, we must frequently seek for the similimum in the virus of tuberculosis. I have mentioned oppression as one of the characteristics of Bacillinum. Now influenzal bronchitis is markedly accompanied by an incessant cough and by grave general symptoms. There is more frequently acute than passive, obstructive and dyspneic congestion. I am inclined to prefer Aviaire to Bacillinum in such cases, and I should like to briefly touch upon a certain cases in my practice.

I have under my care a little girl of twelve years of age who has for two years developed an influenza which rapidly leads to pulmonary symptoms, always distinctly localized in the top of the left lung. The mother is tuberculous, and the child, who was born with forceps, has her left chest developed than her right.

The congestion which accompanies the influenza is sudden and severe; within twenty-four hours the lung is invaded, and fine rales are soon heard. Twice running, at intervals of a year, Aviaire 100th has stifled the symptoms in a few days. I have seen an analogous case, only with congestion of the base of the lung.

In my clinical report of the Hospital St. Jacques (in August 1895), I note ten cases of acute influenzal bronchitis with incessant cough, fever, and expectoration, rapidly cured with Aviaire. This year I have prescribed it with the same success as at the Hospital St. Jacques in cases of influenzal bronchitis, with active congestion. I will mention two cases of the pulmonary complications of measles which were rapidly dissipated by this remedy; but I must also mention a third case of measles in which Aviaire failed and Bryonia proved successful. The child had an acute rubes laryngitis, and few pulmonary symptoms. Bryonia was in this case more decidedly indicated than Aviaire.

The dilution of Aviaire which I have always used in the 100th. I give usually five drops a day.

It seems that Aviaire does not act in diminishing the cough like an anodyne, but braces up the whole organism. The relief of debility and the return of appetite are the phenomena which I have observed in conjunction with the diminution of the cough. I have given Aviaire 100th for weeks, and even for a month, regularly every day, without having observed excitement or aggravation. It would thus appear to be a remedy of long-lasting action, capable in certain cases of modifying the organism, and of bracing a constitution which has become enfeebled from the effects of influenza or of suspicious bronchitis. In contrast with Bacillinum I have noted, in my observations on Aviaire, considerable cough and little dyspnea - an acute inflammatory, extremely irritating cough, such as one meets with in acute diseases or subacute affections in young people; a cough which fatigues, and which leads to enfeeblement and loss of appetite - in a word, a suspicious cough. To conclude my remarks, the utility of Aviaire in suspicious bronchitis - an expression on which I again lay stress - I will recall certain indubitable examples of the cure (at the Hospital St. Jacques) of bronchitis or of pulmonary congestion at the top of one of the lungs, or of bronchitis on one side only, or of congestion predominating on one side. These localizations on one side are sufficiently grave symptoms to warrant apprehension of the hatching of tuberculosis. If I were myself attacked, as the result of influenza of measles, or of some weakening malady, with an incessant tickling and stubborn cough, with certain closely localized pulmonary symptoms; if I lost my strength and appetite; if in a word, I were attacked by bronchitis whose upshot was highly doubtful, and which caused apprehension of tuberculosis, I should not hesitate a single moment, with the examples which I have had before me, to try Aviaire 100th upon myself.

Such is the conclusion of my clinical observations made at Hospital St. Jacques in August, 1895. What I said last year I can only repeat with renewed confidence in this; and I hope that the years which follow will not cause me to alter my opinion. (Anshutz)

TUSSILAGO FARFARA (COLTSFOOT)

Indo German Homeopathic Review 1939, p 268.
Tussilago farfara, the coltsfoot, is a widely spread plant, commonly known to the peasant, though not to the town dweller who hardly visits the country in February, the blossom - time of coltsfoot. The leaves appear later than the flowers and are often mistaken for those of the butter - bur, petasites. The flowers form yellow heads on whitish, felt - like stalks, 6" high, with impressed, scaly leaves. The stalked leaves are rotund - ovate, cornered, irregularly dentate, and show a whitish, felt - like covering underneath. The plant prefers clay, loam, marl and lime in the soil and is often considered an indicator of such soil. (IGHR)

Coltsfoot was known as a good cough - remedy from ancient times. It has preserved that reputation to this day, especially in popular medicine and far beyond the borders of the German countries. It is frequently used - by itself or combined with other pectoral remedies - as a medicine with an antiphlogistic and mucus dissolving action in doses of the respiratory organs. Cough, hoarseness, bronchitis and inflammations of the pharyngeal mucous membranes, shortness of breath, asthma bronchiale and pleurisy, can be treated successfully with this remedy. Occasionally the plant is also prescribed for other complaints. In preparing the medicines, the fresh leaves, gathered in June or July, are employed. Also the rhizoma can be used and is collected late in autumn or early in spring. Farfara is dispensed in the form of dilution or as the fresh - plant trituration Farfara Teep. It is often added to herbal tea mixtures, together with plantago, anthyllis pulmonaria, cetraria, malva. It is another ingredient of Species pectorales mod. Madaus. (IGHR)

VERATRUM VIRIDE

I wrote in "Leaders" that at one time it had a great reputation in the first or congestive stage of inflammatory diseases, and especially in those organs coming under control of the pneumo - gastric nerve, viz., pharynx, oesophagus, stomach and heart. For a time the journals fairly bristled with reported cures of pneumonia, and its curative power was attributed to the influence of the remedy to control the action of heart and pulse. It was claimed that if we could control the quickened circulation so as to decrease the amount of blood forced into the congested lung, that you thereby gave the lung a chance to free itself of the existing engorgement. It looked plausible, and certainly in many cases remarkable cures were effected, and that in a short time. I was a young physician and thought I had found a prize in this remedy.

But one day I left a patient, apparently relieved by it of an acute attack of pneumonia, to go to a town five miles distant, and when I returned found my patient dead. Then I watched others so treated, and found every little while a patient with pneumonia dropping out suddenly when they were reported better. Now we don't hear so much of Veratrum viride as the greatest remedy for the first stage of this disease. What was the matter? 1st. It was (like other fads) used too indiscriminately. 2nd. It is not desirable (it is wrong) to control or depress the pulse regardless of all the other conditions. 3rd. The patients who had weak hearts were killed by this powerful heart depressant. A quickened circulation is salutary in all inflammatory diseases, and is evidenced that the natural power to resist disease, is there and at work. The pulse will come to its normality when the cause of its disturbance is removed and should never be forced to do so until then.

Here is a common fault of the old school, notwithstanding their cry of " Tolle causam. " So I find fault with Guernsey's keynote, "Great activity of the arterial system; very quick pulse." Next to Digitalis, Veratrum viride slows the pulse, as is abundantly shown in the provings. If quick pulse is ever the result of this remedy, it is a secondary or re - actionary effect, like the sleeplessness of Opium or the constipation of cathartics. So it seems to me that as an antiphlogistic (forgive me)it must go into the shade with the vaunted Digitalis. Gatchell writes (pocket book): "This is the most important remedy in the stage of engorgement, to which its use must be limited. In my own experience and in that of others.

It has apparently cut short on coming attacks of pneumonia. It must be given early, immediately following the chill. It is of no avail after hepatization has begun. Again if it produces nausea, reduce the dose. Watch the action to avoid cardiac depression. " I should object to the wholesale assertion that this is the most important remedy, for the most important remedy is the homeopathically indicated one, and it is not Verat. viride always by any means. I fully concur with him in the necessity of watching its action and for the same reason. I do know of one good characteristic indication for its use, not only in congestion of the lungs, but in other congestions also, viz., the well defined red streak running right through the middle of the tongue. It has been repeatedly verified. So while it is true that it may be able to cut short oncoming cases of this disease, I should be sure one of the other more safe remedies was not indicated before I would use it, especially in weak heart cases. Pneumonia. (NASH)

Lobar Pneumonia: Veratrum viride. For very intense cases setting in with violent chill, very active congestion and delirium, followed by high fever, with full, hard bounding pulse. May be given in one or two drop doses every half to one hour until arterial excitement subsides.

Pulmonary Hyperemia: Veratrum viride. Violent congestion in full - blooded persons. Thirst, nausea, high fever, with throbbing, bounding pulse and red face. Difficult breathing with sensation of a heavy load on the chest. (Paige)

"Breathing heavy, difficult, slow, short, convulsive, almost to suffocation; constriction of chest." Not many symptoms and general rather than specific are given by the provers, but Veratrum vir. has prevented and cured many cases of pneumonia, bronchitis and pulmonary congestion (Aconite, Ferrum phos. and Belladonna). Congestion not only of the lungs but also of the brain is the ranking symptom of all three groups; The full pulse, marked dyspnea, hot head, cold extremities, dry tongue and high temperature are other prominent symptoms.
