Borland bl4 · I think most of the pneumonias in which you give Bry. without success are cases in which you have missed Chel. The two are very alike in appearance, and they are very alike in the character of their pains. They are also very similar in onset. The Chel. patients are usually rather out of sorts, and you very commonly find that they have had a loss of appetite and general discomfort preceding the onset of their pneumonias. · In Chel. the appearance is somewhat dusky. It is rather similar to the Bry. duskiness, but, instead of the bluish look that you find in Bry., there is a slightly yellowish tinge in Chel. · On this yellowish base there is liable to be a rather localized, deeper, malar flush, and quite often that flush is one sided. Very commonly it is the right side which is more flushed than the left [affected side flushed snex]. · As far as mentality is concerned, these two drugs are very similar, or at least they appear to be so at first sight. The Chel. patients are lethargic, they do not want to be disturbed, they do not want to make any effort, they are as much aggravated by movement as the Bry-patients, and they are definitely irritable [contrary to Ferr-p.-passive, lethargic, easy going snex]. But their irritability, when you get down to it, is rather different. Bry-patients are absorbed in their own worries, and say "for heaven's sake leave me alone", whereas Chel. patients are much more spiteful and snappy. For instance, you may be crossquestioning them and going along quite nicely, and suddenly they spit out at you in the most surprising and uncivil way that is the typical Chel. reaction. · In the Bry-case as a rule the pains in the chest are much more round towards the axilla, or round towards the back. In Chel. the pains tend to be more towards the front, and go right through to the scapular region. Instead of the sharp, stabbing pains being in the side, you get them more in the front of the chest and going right through to the back. [Bry. whishes local pressure and rest, whereas in Chel. the pain is agg. by pressure or touch] · As regards the appearance of the tongue in the two drugs, the Bry. one tends to be whitish, and the Chel. one tends to be [dirty- snex] yellow [thick yellow coating with flabby tongue and imprints of the teeth cda1]. · As far as the sputum is concerned I think there is more profuse expectoration in Chel., it is not so difficult to get up, and it is not quite so dusky as the Bry. sputum. · Then you get your outstanding distinction. In Bry. you have an intense thirst for cold drinks. In Chel. you have a desire for hot things [, which relieves, even chestpains; esp. after hot milk snex]. So there the two drugs at once part company. · As a rule the position taken up by the two patients is different. The Bry. patient tends to turn over on to the affected side. The Chel. patient likes to sit up and lean forward. Both keep as still as they possibly can. · In Bry. it tends to be round about 21h in the evening. Chel. has two periods of aggravation, it has one about 16h in the afternoon, and another about 4 o'clock in the morning, so there is a double periodicity in the twenty-four hours. As far as Phos. and Verat-v. are concerned, there is no definite hour of maximum intensity, but both tend to become worse in the evening just before nightfall, when there is a period of increased excitement, increased nervousness, and increased apprehension.
