Homoeopathic Drug pictures by M.L.Tyler

"Notice the peculiar relation between the lungs and the understanding, and between the heart and the
will. With every little trouble located in the heart there comes hopelessness, but when the
manifestation of disease is in the lungs there is hopefulness . Heart and liver affections are associated
with hopelessness and despair . "In this remedy the pains wander from joint to joint and finally locate in
the heart. Angina pectoris is often the ending of an old rheumatism that has wandered from joint to
joint."

Dr. H. A. Roberts, in his Rheumatic Remedies, sums up the heart symptoms and the sphere of Aurum in
acute rheumatism, thus: "Severe pain in heart. Must sit up. Sensation as if the heart stopped, then gave
one sudden hard thump. Heart flounders. Loud endocardial bruits. Pulse irregular. In inflammatory
rheumatism Aurum met. is of value when there is high fever, extreme tenderness to touch, profuse
sweat and involvement of the endocardium with the peculiar heart symptoms.".
