28 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES.
FREQUENCY OF DOSES.
In acute cases, a dose every hour or two; in severe, painful
affections, a dose every ten to fifteen minutes; in chronic affec-
tions, one to four doses daily.
In suitable cases the external use of the remedies is indi-
cated and has been found useful. For this purpose the lower
triturations may be used.
In determining the dose of a biochemic remedy, the amount
of the morbid product involved is no important factor. For
instance, a very small deficiency of Natrum mur. in the cells
of the epithelial layer of a serous sac may give rise to a massive
serous exudation; and as minute a supply of Natrum mur.
corresponding to the deficiency may bring about a complete
resorption of the exudation.
Guided by the relative quantities of the cell salts, each
practitioner can select the proper dose of the indicated bio-
chemic remedy.
One milligramme (1-100 grain = to the 2d decimal tritura-
tion) of a substance is estimated to contain 16 trillions of
molecules. According to this estimate, the 6th decimal trit-
uration of it would contain about 16 billions; this quantity is
more than sufficient to restore disturbed molecular motions to
the normal.
It may be urged as an objection that the molecules of a
given salt administered as a medicine would unite with their
like contained in the blood, and thus render illusory any cura-
tive attempt. But this combination cannot take place simply
because the carbonic acid present in the blood forms an isolat-
ing medium of the salts.
RELATION OF THE BIOCHEMIC TO THE
HOMCEOPATHIC TREATMENT.
Often the question has been asked, "Is Schüsslerism Homoe-
opathy?" and it has as often been answered in the affirmativa
as in the negative. Schüssler himself claimed that it is not in

any way related to Homoeopathy, claiming for it a separate
system of therapeutics.
He claims with others that the Tissue Remedies act by sup-
plying deficiencies. This idea, taken literally, seems errone-
ous; for example, in a disturbance of the molecules of Natr.
mur. there is not necessarily a deficiency in the amount of
Natr. mur. in the body, but rather a lack of continuity in the
arrangement of the existing molecules in the body. This salt
given as a remedy does not supply a lack or deficiency of salt,
as the quantity given is usually too infinitesimal for the pur-
pose, and were this the case it might be given in quantity
with food and drink with the desired effect. The deficiency
that it does supply in minimal doses is in the arrangement of
the equilibrium of the chain of Natr. mur. molecules in the
affected tissues as before explained, thus causing them to per-
form their function properly; for, since the deficit is a molecu-
lar one, the supply must also be molecular.
This idea of the action of remedies is not new, as any one
who has carefully perused the works of that astute observer,
Von Grauvogl, can testify. Many of Schüssler's ideas are
foreshadowed in Grauvogl and Hering.
It has always been a matter of dispute as to how our ho-
moeopathic remedies act. The question, embracing as it does
that of infinitesimal doses, is one of the most interesting for
Homoeopathy and therapeutics generally.
The following table shows, so far as analyses have been
made, that the twelve tissue salts are constituents of many of
our well known and proved remedies of the vegetable kingdom:

30 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES.
The figures in the above table indicate the percentage.
This table is a very incomplete one, as analyses have only
been made of comparatively few of the remedies of the animal
and vegetable kingdoms that we use; and many of these an-1
alyses have been made so crudely as only to note the presence
of these salts in them, not giving their proportions. To do
this accurately would entail much time and expense. Of
course, this, to the allopath, is a question of no moment what-
ever; but to us, as homoeopaths, who deal with infinitesimals,
such an enormous quantity as 18.2 per cent, of Silicea occur-
ring in Equisetum; 6 per cent, of potash and sodium salts
occurring in Hamam.; 4 per cent, of Silicea in Cimicif.; 3 per
cent, of Magnes. phos. in Coloc., as well as other inorganic I
constituents in varying quantities, becomes a matter of vital
importance. Could we have an exact quantitative and pro-
portionate analysis of any one drug from the animal or vege-
table kingdom, we could then dissect its symptoms and tell;
which belonged to one tissue salt and which to another; and
it is highly probable that we, by this means, could easily ex-
plain why the symptoms of one drug are so often found
under the pathogenesis of another, why one is character-

istic in one drug and only generic in another, when, indeed,
it may not rightly belong to either, but to an inorganic tissue
salt, a constituent of each drug.
Perhaps the drug of which as complete an analysis has been
made as of any is Phytolacca decandra. After evaporation
and incineration, which remove the organic constituents, there
remain 8.4 per cent, of the inorganic; of these, 6.8 per cent,
are soluble and consist mostly of the salts of potash, while the
insoluble remainder, 1.6 per cent., consists of calcium, iron
and silica. If we compare the pathogenesis of Phytol. with
the biochemical application of these salts, we shall see a strik-
ing and significant analogy. As the largest quantity of the in-
organic salts therein contained is potash, we shall find that
more symptoms of Phytol. correspond to the Kalis, while
fewer symptoms correspond to the calcium, iron and silica.
The following table illustrates this :
