[Royal E. S. Hayes M.D. presents a serious Pyrogenum
case. The pulse was small and rapid, with vomiting and frequent weak sinking
spells. Perfect recovery occurred after the
remedy.
Mrs. L. ret. 26, being advanced 3 months with her 3rd
pregnancy “took a long walk up the mountains,” which was followed by serious
consequences. I was called soon after an
abortion. Puls. quickly relieved the
haemorrhage and pains. All went well for two days, when the woman complained of
severe pains in the back extending to the pubes. << a change of position.
She was unable to move without bringing on copious gushes of bright colored blood mixed with clots. Sabina was given, with the
result that I found her so much improved that
I said I would not call again for a few days unless sent for.
I was sent for just a week later. I found that during the week she had
been passing putrid shreds and pieces of membrane, together with an acrid,
offensive lochial discharge.
The stench which filled the house was simply horrible. Even the
curiosity of the neighbours could not withstand it; they could not stay in the
house. On the day on which I was called
she had a shaking chill in the forenoon, which lasted over an hour and
was followed by repeated lighter ones. The temperature at 2 P. M. was 102.4.
The pulse was small and rapid.
She complained of headache, vomiting and frequent weak “sinking spells.”
The abdomen was distended, the pelvic organs and bowels quite tender. She was constantly walking about
the room to relieve the bruised aching and soreness.
It was not a very pleasant state of things for either patient or
physician. Such a state needs a remedy that has the power to go to the root of
the condition and establish reaction in short order or there will be a
dangerous illness from which there may never be reaction. Pyrogen
is just such a remedy in these conditions and was prescribed at this time.
Next morning I prepared my instruments for curetting. When I called,
however, I found that a change had taken place. The temperature had dropped to
99.5 F., there was almost no
pain and the discharge had improved in appearance and odor. This went on a few days to perfect recovery.
Pyrogen is a morbific
product. The keynote of its sphere of usefulness is sepsis. The most frequent
use for it is found in sapraemia and septicaemia
(puerperal) from an unknown cause
or from a local source and in the chronic effects of such a sickness.
But it is just as useful in typhoid fever, diphtheria, ptomaine poisoning,
poisoning from sewer gas, abscess, malignant pustule or any septic process when
those conditions present the characteristic indications of the remedy. I have
the best results with it in poisoned or septic wounds where the case had been
neglected or had been dallying with surgical fussing so long that the whole
organism had become impressed by the effect of pus in the system.
In a case of suppurative peritonitis from
which a large quantity of pus had been evacuated, slow improvement continued
for a few weeks, after which the boy persistently remained
at a standstill both in general condition and locally. Repeated efforts
at discovery of symptomatic indications for a remedy were made in vain. Then a
dose of Pyrogen was given on
the theory that long continued exposure to pus had made the impression
which was retarding progress. The Pyrogen was
followed by a sharp rise of fever, which lasted about a day,
after which the improvement was truly remarkable.
Sometime after abortion the infection pursues a local track and extends
up the urinary tract, causing large quantities of pus in the urine. The
characteristic indications for Pyrogen will usually
be found in these cases. When, after labor, in
addition to offensive and putrid lochia the woman
develops an insidious fever and complains of bruised pains in the body and
that the bed feels hard, necessitating occasional change of position,
the Pyrogen bottle had better be taken out, for it is
then more valuable than all the antiseptics and curetting
instruments in the world. There is only a bare possibility that these
will have to be used, too.
Never forget the possibility of Pyrogen being
needed in diphtheria,
for if it is needed but not used the case may as well be turned over to the
undertaker. The case is malignant.
There is great swelling of the parts, which are dark red and bluish,
bleeding easily, and suppurating, or even gangrenous. When the little patient
coughs blood and pus is discharged.
A horrible odor fills the house. There are
great noises in breathing and the chest organs seem about to be invaded by the
septic process. There is great restlessness and bodily soreness, abdominal
soreness and pain. If the case is late the pulse is rapid and cardiac paralysis
threatens.
Who would expect Antitoxin to cure such a case? Everybody who has
observed the effects of Antitoxin with an unprejudiced mind and knows how to
distinguish between the effects
of drugs and disease knows that it would be exceedingly dangerous. Pyrogen has cured even then and will often if properly
managed. But when the case has gone quite far the physician must be satisfied
with a little improvement each day for two or three days before decided change
may take place.
A friend of mine relates his experience in an epidemic of real
diphtheria some years ago. His allopathic neighbors,
with their Antitoxin swelled the population of the graveyards in large numbers.
My friend had some 20 cases which he treated with Pyrogen
6th and cured every case. Some of the “Regulars” came to him and
asked him what it was that he used.
He wrote a paper about the whole matter, Antitoxin and all, and read it
to his conferees, but, of course, they would not believe any such nonsense as
that.
In every case of acute disease that I have cured with Pyrogen the acute action has been followed by a long
continued action as a general alterative, better health following than was
present before. Pyrogen not only removes the acute
symptoms, but digs out old constitutional tendencies which the patient had
before the local infection was present.
Some of the keynote indications of Pyrogen
are:
Soreness of the flesh; the parts lain upon feel
sore and bruised. Patient complains that ‘the bed feels hard/
Restless, must move constantly to relieve the
sore, bruised and aching pains. Sometimes motion does not relieve.
Confusion as to different parts of the body.
For instance, in a case of slow fever the man thought that a neighbor’s leg had taken the place of one of his own and
that
his leg was doing service out in the field with
the neighbour.
Tongue clean, smooth, glazed, fiery red.
Sweetish, fetid, pus-like taste in the mouth as
from an abscess.
Vomiting-, persistent, coffee ground or stercoraceous.
Diarrhoea, horribly offensive, putrid, brown or
black, involuntary, or there may be constipation with large black stools of
carrion odor.
Lochia thin, acrid, brown, fetid or
suppressed and followed by chills, fever and profuse fetid perspiration.
Chills severe, general, marking onset of septic
fever; pulse small, wiry, rapid, out of proportion to temperature ; cold sweat.
Rapid decubitus.
Threatened cardiac paralysis from septic
conditions.”
These symptoms give a picture of dangerous malignant processes which tax
the resources of the physician to the utmost, unless he has made the
acquaintance of Pyrogen.
I have never seen Pyrogen indicated in those
cases of puerperal fever of violent onset which begin with a severe chill
twenty-four hours after confinement. These are of different
character than those due to sapraemia.
I prefer to use Pyrogen in a single dose of
the higher potencies. But if, through
lack of experience, one’s courage is weak, it may be used in the 30th and
repeated until improvement begins. It must then be discontinued lest the
malignant forces blaze up anew.
On account of its malignant nature it is not sold in a lower potency
than the 6th, I believe. A full account
of Pyrogen may be found in Clarke’s Dictionary. If anyone’s homoeopathic enthusiasm has
become a bit wearied (which seems impossible) let him get Clarke’s Dictionary
and he will become refreshed. How could we get along without it now!

In Sanderson's experiments with Pyrog. the
following effects were observed.
1. From a non-fatal dose: The animal
shivers and begins to move about restlessly. Temperature rises 2° - 3° C., the
maximum being reached in 3 hours. Thirst and vomiting come on, followed by
feculent and thin mucous, and finally bloody diarrhœa
and tenesmus. In 5 hours these symptoms begin to
subside, and the animal recovers with wonderful rapidity.
2. When death occurs it is from heart
failure.
In non-fatal cases with gastro-enteric symptoms the temperature
gradually rises for 4 hours, and as gradually subsides: in fatal cases it rises
rapidly to 104° F., then rapidly declines to below normal.
2. From a fatal dose: There is intestinal hæmorrhage,
purging, collapse, and death.
After death extravasations of blood are found in
heart/pleura/pericardium; the spleen is enlarged and full of blood. Mucous
membrane of stomach and small intestines is intensely injected with detachment
of epithelium and exudation of bloody fluid, which distends the gut. The blood
is dark, the corpuscles being in clumps instead of rolls, and many being
dissolved in the liquor sanguinis.
White corpuscles partially disintegrated. Drysdale
prepared a tincture of Pyrog. he preferred to call Pyrexin, since it is not a mere fever-producer: others have
called it Sepsin; but this too is close to Septicæmin, a name given to a related and perhaps identical
nosode: I have chosen to retain the name Pyrogen, by which the remedy is best known in homœopathy and put his own suggestion into practice. His
success was very encouraging, but as he continued to use the Ø tincture and
lowest attenuations the difficulty of keeping the preparation was not small;
and the remedy did not come into extensive use till Burnett published his
pamphlet on Pyrogenium in Fevers and Blood-poisoning
in 1888.
Burnett used chiefly the 6th centesimal dilution, which is
perfectly harmless, and which will keep indefinitely. Heath, who made one of
the preparations used by Burnett, gave some of
it to Swan, of New York, who ran it up into the high infinitesimals.
The remainder of the symptoms of the Schema are for the most part
clinical. Yingling collected symptoms from many
reported cases, and arranged them with the symptoms of the proving. (Yingling erroneously describes Pyrog.
as prepared from "pus from septic abscess." This is Septicæmin. He refers, however, to Burnett's pamphlet and
to cases cured with Pyrog., leaving the actual
substance referred to not in doubt.
[H.C. Allen]
Proving and most of the cases in Med. Adv., rightly describes Pyrog. as a "Product of Sepsis.". Drysdale's original
cases include a number in which threatened typhoid was averted, a case of tabes mesenterica cured, and one
of ulceration of the colon greatly benefited. Burnett's were cases of fully
developed typhoid all cut short at the height by Pyrog.
6 given every 2 hours. In his pamphlet included a successful experience of Dr. Shouldham's with Pyrog. 6 in 2
cases of diphtheritic sore threat. I have had ample opportunity of observing
the power of Pyrog. over typhoid fever, and typhoid
and hectic states, including one of discharging abscess connected with Pott's disease of the spine.
H.C. Allen: in septic states: "When the best selected remedies fail
to relieve or permanently improve" analogous to the action of Psor. and Sulph. in other
conditions.
Also: "Latent pyogenic process, patient
continually relapsing after apparent simillimum."
As Pyrog. is a product of carrion, the carrion-like
odour of bodily emaciations, secretions,
and excretions is a keynote for its use.
