M.D. Late Professor of Materia Medica in Hering College, Chicago. Pains all aggravated sitting.
Complaints come on from becoming cold, and from cold damp weather.
These features are found in hectic fevers in the last stages of phthisis, as well as septic fevers. It aborts puerperal fever in a few hours when clearly indicated. In cases of typhoid where there is the confusion like - that found in Baptisia and the heat is too intense for that remedy, Pyrogen should always be considered. When the pulse is extremely high, and the temperature not correspondingly high this remedy will be useful. On the other hand, when the pulse and temperature are out of rhythm either way this remedy should be considered if the case is of septic origin.
