copious discharge of sand; the water disappeared from the abdomen and extremities, and health was restored. I went on with the tincture until no more sand appeared in the urine, and I had every reason to suppose that the deposit of sand was completely removed. Since then I have used this remedy in so many cases with success that I can conscientiously recommend it to my colleagues as a most reliable remedy. Among these cases was one which appeared to me very striking. It was that of a woman, aged 30, who came to me for a complication of diseases. I examined the urine for sand, but found none. I gave her the tincture of _Brusa pastoris_, and a quantity of sand came away. On continuing the tincture much more sand came away, and her other morbid symptoms disappeared." It was stated some time ago that Mattei's _anti-angioitico_ was a tincture of _Thlaspi bursa pastoris_, but, if we are to credit the statement of a periodical lately published, entitled _General Review of Electro-Homoeopathic Medicine_, this is not so, for _anti-angioitico_ is there stated to be a medicine compounded of _Aconite_, _Belladonna_, _Nux vomica_, _Veratrum album_, and _Ferrum metallicum_. I mention this inadvertently, but I do not suppose it is of much consequence, and my first experience of the remedial action of _Thlaspi_ was anterior to the information that it was one of Mattei's remedies. In the 3d volume of the _British Journal of Homoeopathy_, page 63, there is an observation taken from the Berlin _Med. Zeit._, to the effect that Dr. Lange found the greatest benefit from "a decoction of the whole plant in cases of passive hæmorrhage generally, and especially in too frequent and too copious menstruation." In the _Zeitsch. f. Erfahrungsheild._, the periodical published by the followers of Rademacher, Dr. Kinil relates the case of a woman who, three weeks after accouchement, was affected with strangury. She could not retain her urine, which dribbled away, drop by drop, with constant pain in the urethra. The urine was turbid and had a deep red sediment. She got 30 drops of the _tincture of Thlaspi_ five times a day. The strangury disappeared at once, the urine could be retained after a few days, and after eight days it became clear and without sediment.
