Hi Joy,
I'm not sure who I got this information from, not proving info.... but here it is:
Arsenicum bromide
All we know of this remedy is from Dr. Th. Clemens
(Deutsche Clinic, March, 1859) translated into English in 1888 by Samuel Lilienthal, & republished in Anshutz.
Its entry in other MM - (Blackwood, Boericke, Clarke, Hansen, Lilienthtal, Mathur, Murphy, Pulford, Vermeulen’s Condordant, & Vithoulkas)
Basically all parrot this source, in several cases erroneously attributing the observations to Anshutz (the editor) rather than to Clemens.
Clemens’ preparation was described as:
R.,Arsen, albi. Depurat. Pulv., Kali carb. E Tartar. 1 dram, coque-cum-Aqua destil. Lb. ½ ad perfect.
Solutionem refriger., adde aqua destil. Q.s. ut fiat solutio 12 oz, Dein adde Brom. Pur. 2 drahm.
This solution, which during first eight days is frequently shaken, becomes colourless in the fourth week, and is then ready for use.”
His rationale for employing this preparation is,
“I will now give my reason for choosing Bromine as a combination.
The study of mineral waters is an old pet of mine; many of them contain Arsenic in combination with Bromine, and are all well known for their roborating and alternating qualities.”
(Interestingly, Lilienthal describes this remedy as “Mineral spring of Ashe Co., N. C.”)
There has been no proving, and J H Clarke honors the clinical empiricism on which its use had been based only with the fragmentary entry in his Dictionary:
Description
- Bromide of Arsenic.
- As Br3.
Clinical
- Acne.
- Diabetes.
Characteristics
- “Acne rosacea, with violet papules on the nose.
- Diabetes mellitus (Hansen).
