Berberis Aquifolium.

Oregon Grape. N. O. Berberidaceæ. Fluid extract or tincture of root.

Clinical.─Biliousness. Bronchorrhœa. Eczema. Face, roughness of. Headache. Herpes. Leucorrhœa. Pityriasis. Psoriasis. Spleen, affections of. Stomatitis. Syphilis. Typhoid. Voice, affections of.

Characteristics.─Berb. aqui. belongs to the Mahonia group of the Barberry family. It has been used by eclectics in chronic syphilis, chronic skin diseases, in scrofulous cachexia, and for removing pimples from the faces of girls. Hale reports a case of very advanced secondary syphilis cured with it, and some characteristic cases of psoriasis. In all these conditions it has been given in the Ø tincture 5 to 10 drops. J. D. W. C., in Recorder, 1896, gives personal experiences with doses of 10 to 15 drops a day. On the third day felt "nausea and thick-headedness." Later there was "straining to vomit without vomiting." Then a peculiar headache, strong compression, as if a band of iron two inches wide passed entirely round head just above ears. It kept growing tighter and tighter. Strong black coffee relieved this after a time, but left him tremulous in nerves and unsteady in gait. Ever after that a single drop of Berb. aq. on the tongue was sufficient to avert an attack of biliousness when threatening, and saved him much trouble of the kind to which he had formerly been liable. Berb. aq. has a reputation for making "a new man of an old one." A tea made of the leaves of Berb. mahon. has a local reputation in the mountain typhoid of the Rockies, and the provings of Berb. aq. show febrile symptoms and a marked action on the spleen. A systematic proving was made under Winterburn's direction. I have verified its usefulness in secondary, syphilis.

Berberis Aquifolium

Natural order : Berberidaceae.

Common Names : Oregon grape, Mountain grape.

Preparation : The fresh root and stem is pounded to a pulp and macerated in two pans by weight of alcohol.

(This unintentional proving was published in August, 1896, under the signature J. d. W. C.

The paper referred to by J. d. W. C. was a clipping from the Eclectic Medical Journal)

In the Homeopathic Recorder for March, 1896, p. 133, there appears an interesting article on the virtues of the plant named above, it starts out with :

"From the fact that it will make a 'new' man of an old one in a short time it is an excellent remedy."

As I am now over sixty years old, it seemed high time to cast about for something possessing the virtue specified, viz., making "a 'new' man out of an old one" and to my knowledge, as I have never had five days' illness confining me to bed, or even to my room, during the said sixty years, I considered myself an easy subject for the contemplated rejuvenation ; besides all this, I am what some would call a homeopathic "crank" ; and believed, and yet believe, if there be anything that can effect such a transformation it is to be found only within the lines of homeopathy, I immediately ordered quantum suf. of the article in question from the celebrated firm of Boericke & Tafel, and started out on the trip to the "Fountain of Youth" in full confidence that something would come of it.

The first day I took two doses mother tincture 10 - 15 drops each ; no special effect noticed on youthfulness either !

Second day, ditto ;

Third day, one dose in morning ; after bank hours went to friend's sanctum and engaged in a game of chess, and while so engaged felt a growing sense of nausea and thick-headedness, so much so that I was obliged to excuse myself and hurry to my own quarters.

Berberis, however, did not once occur to me - I had scarce reached my room when the sense of nausea (seven minutes' lively walk, since it became really oppressive) had full sway, and having eaten nothing whatever since the previous evening (as I do not eat unless I am hungry) the straining was rather severe, but exactly similar to some previous attacks of "biliousness", in feeling, and color and taste of dischargesand still Berberis did not occur to me ; as soon as the strain was over I was seized with a remarkable and peculiar headache ; a thing of which I have no recollection whatever to have previously experienced in any shape, the sensation was that of a strong, well-defined, compressive band of iron (or some unyielding substance), about two inches wide, passing entirely, round the head, just above the ears, it kept on growing tighter and tighter ; I jumped from the reclined position, on a couch, wet a folded towel in cold water, and passed it round my head so as to cover the "band" ; but it gave little relief ; about 10 o'clock I began to think over what I might have eaten to disagree with me so, and at last Berberis came plump into sight ; I at once prepared a cup of strong, strong coffee (Hahnemann's antidote, and for which I had to send to a neighbor, believing it would antidote the Berberis (or rather hoping it might), and about 12 o'clock there was a slight diminution of pressure ; then more coffee, black and strong, two or three mouthfuls, and again laid down ; by morning the serious phase of the headache had disappeared, but I was exceedingly tremulous in nerves and unsteady in gait up to noon, when I ventured on, some oatmeal and syrup-habitually, I do not eat meat, or drink tea or coffee, nor spirituous liquors, nor use tobacco, and have not for over thirty years.

Finally, I "made a good recovery," and now whenever I have a sensation of biliousness I touch my tongue to my finger after touching the cork of the mother tincture bottle of Berberis aqui. with said finger -- and have no trouble compared to what I have usually had - I believe I may say, I am subject to biliousness by heredity, but it has removed much thereof, and this remedy, I think, is good enough for the remainder.
