In cases of excessive venereal desire, amounting to satyriasis, from experience I would use this remedy first. I have seen it control the venereal appetite in a very satisfactory manner. It can be given in cases where the bromides have always been considered appropriate, and it can be given where the bromides would be very inappropriate and there is no reflex effect on the brain or nervous system. SALVIA OFFICINALIS. NAT. ORD., Labiatæ. COMMON NAME, Common sage. PREPARATION.--The fresh leaves are macerated in twice their weight of alcohol. (Although scarcely used in the present day sage runs back in medical history to the Greeks, and, according to Fernie, is still held in the highest esteem by country people in many parts of Europe. Quoting Gerard: "Sage is singularly good for the head and brain; it quickeneth the senses and memory; strengtheneth the sinews; restoreth health to those that have palsy; and takes away shaky trembling of the members." The following appeared in _Echo Med. du Nord_, 1897, concerning this remedy:) This remedy (in English, _Sage_) has been almost forgotten in modern medical art, but still remains in high repute as a domestic medicine. Lately, French physicians have called attention to it, and not only for gargling in cases of inflammation of the throat and for washing the mouth in affections of the gums, but more especially as an unfailing remedy for night-sweats in persons suffering from affections of the respiratory organs. In the numerous experiments made with it, there were never any disagreeable concomitant effects. On the contrary, it was found that _Salvia_ acts even more favorably on the tickling coughs with consumptives than _Belladonna_, _Rumex crispus_, etc., so that preparations of _Morphine_ and _Codeine_ could be dispensed with. _Salvia_ should be used in the form of the tincture, and, indeed, the tincture prepared from the fresh leaves and the blossom tips, as we find it in homoeopathic pharmacies. It should be given in doses of 20, 30, or 40 drops, in a tablespoonful of water. The effects manifest themselves very quickly, two hours after taking a dose, and these effects persist for two to six days. SAURURUS CERNUUS. NAT. ORD., Piperaceæ. COMMON NAME, Lizard's Tail. PREPARATION.--The entire plant including the root is macerated in twice its weight of alcohol. (The following short notice of this almost unknown remedy appeared in the _Homoeopathic Recorder_, 1895:)
