30 FLORA HOMCOPATHICA. 
GrocraPuHicaL Distripution.—Asia, native of the East 
Indies, and found in mountainous dry forests. 
Parts useD IN MepicinE, AND Mopr or PREPARATION.— 
The Juice, contained in the cells under the external rind of the 
nut. Hahnemann gives the following directions: one grain 
of this juice is to be triturated with ninety-nine grains of sugar 
of milk to the 3rd attenuation; afterwards with alcohol to the 
30th dilution. The juice is not soluble in water, and only 
diffusible in spirits of wine, it soon falls to the bottom unless 
the menstruum is previously alkalized. 
Mepicar Usrs (Homa@oraruic).—Noack and Trinks (Hand- 
buch der homoop. Arzneimittellehre, Leip. 1842, art. Anacardium) 
offer the following remarks on Anacardium. It is adapted to 
nervous bilious constitutions; to the melancholic choleric tem- 
perament ; and to irritable hypochondriacs. The following are 
the chief diseases in which it may be employed. Weakness of 
mind, memory, and senses. Imbecility. Loquacious dementia. 
Melancholia in all itsforms. Chronic deafness. Weakness of 
digestion and flatulence of hypochondriacs. Diseases of the liver. 
Asthma. Hysteric spasms of the chest, which go off amid a flood 
of tears. (For the general symptoms produced by Anacardium, 
vide Hahnemann’s Chronic Diseases.) 
AntIpotEs.—Camphor, Coffee, J uglans. Camphor and spirits 
of nitre do not seem to act sufficiently as antidotes; smelling 
of coffea cruda is a powerful antidote against the anger and 
vehemence consequent on the use of Anacardium.
