The Hahnemannian monthly . ritiesupon the action of drugs—seem to render it clear that trimethylamine has avery definite physiological action, and that among other things it diminishesthe excretion of urea. The external effect of arnica involves importantquestions, for while it is known that many persons have found it excellent ap-plication for bruises and for wounds, other observers have complained that itproduces either an actual erysipelas or a peculiar violet-colored eruption, at-tended by great heat and pain. For internal bruises, arnica is a most excellent remedy, neutralizing the illeffects of blows, falls and other mechanical injuries. Ecchymoses are rapidlydispersed by it, provided the medicine be administered shortly after the injuryhas been sustained. In cases of concussion and shock, resulting from railwayaccidents, it is also very serviceable. When used after amputations, arnicacertainly has the power of uniting the surfaces very rapidly.—Am. , Sept., 1900. F. Mortimer Lawrence, DECEMBER, 1900.
