Adrenalinum
Oct. 26th,1922. I gave a woman of 40 who was without symptoms, but whom I thought to be a sensitive, a dose of Erharts Adrenalin 1000th. The following symptoms ensued:
Oct. 27th. Oppressed respiration while physically active; "the heart pumps hard".
Pain in the right sciatic darting down to the knee.
Oct. 28-29th. Urine scanty, highly colored, especially the night secretion. The organ disappeared if not heeded, and the bladder emptied later by voluntary action.
Oct. 30th. Sore aching inside, as if in the kidneys, extending to the nates; this entire area tender, worse in the lumbar region of the back.
Muscles above the scapular sore.
Breasts feel heavy; are shaggy and sloppy (firm and well preserved before).
Oct. 31st to Nov. 3rd Aching and soreness in the back more intense, centering over the sacral region on the left side.
Slight nausea.
Tired when walking out (usually better); shins lame and sore while walking a short walk seems light a long and weary one.
Tenderness under the nails.
Flushed face without heat began at 4-5 p.m. daily, continuing about an hour each time.
Dull pain in the left ovary extending backward to the sacral region and down the sciatic nerve.
Albuminous leucorrhoea appeared and disappeared with the pain in the ovary.
Nov. 3rd. All symptoms gone. Had lost six pounds weight. WATERBURY, CONN.

Description
Adrenalinum
[adrenalin (sarcode)]
Description
- Extract of super-renal bodies. Its chemical formula is C3H3A2O3 and it forms shining prismatic crystals; which melt at a temperature of 207 c.: it is most soluble in warm water. It has a bitter taste, which leaves a sensation of numbness of the tip of the tongue. In dilute acids it possesses a marked affinity for oxygen, and when exposed to the air it changes into oxyadrenalin which is poisonous, though not possessing the properties of Adrenalin. It is to this chemical change that constantly occurs in the tissues that the evanescent effect of the drug is due.
- A number of cases of Addison's disease have been cured, and others arrested in their course, by Adrenalin. The most of these cases have occurred in the practice of other schools, and with large doses of the crude drug.
- Very few have been reported in the homoeopathic school, in fact, Raue says he has been unable to find an authenticated case of this disease cured, in our literature. As yet we have but one proving, made in 1904 by students of the New York Homoeopathic College, under the direction of Dr.V. L. Getman and the following provers: M. W. Macduffie, W. G. LaField, G. H. Clapp, J. B. G. Custis, Jr., G. C. Birdsall, and R. C. Miller. The day-books of provers are omitted.
