THUJA mit generierter deutscher Übersetzung (Information possibly useful for cases of Atypical Pneumonia/Sycotic Tuberculosis - see glossary): Ed. Kent k2 The general appearance of the Thuj. subject, if he has a characteristic picture, is that of a waxy, shiny face, it looks as if it had been smeared over with grease; and is often transparent, he is a sickly looking individual, looks as if entering upon some cachexia. ... A peculiar asthmatic condition is found in sycosis and Ars. appears to be indicated for the symptoms, but it only relieves, it does not control the predisposition, it acts like Acon. in acute diseases and it only ameliorates for a moment. Asthmatic and many other sycotic conditions seem to call for Ars., but it will do nothing but palliate, the constitutionality is not reached by Ars., its fundamental symptoms are not similar. ... Ars. does not go to the bottom of the trouble, but Thuj. and Nat-s. will take up the work and cure. ... Strange to say; when these warts [condylomata Ed.] have been suppressed we get symptoms of Nit-ac., Thuj., Merc. and Staph. Thuj. leads all medicines for symptoms coming from suppressed fig-warts. ... There is also a general catarrhal condition running through the body; catarrh of the nose, ears, chest. In the catarrh of the chest it produces an intense hacking cough, with expectoration in the morning of greenish mucus, sometimes a copious expectoration. It is often suited to old cases of pneumonia, in such individuals as have suppressed gonorrhoea, fig-wart gonorrhoea. Hering hr1 Asthma with gonorrhoea, without having been exposed to contagion.
