Comments
COMMENTS - In the provings, Bacillinum produced a severe headache, deep in, worse by motion, was a constant symptom, also a slight cough with easy expectoration of phlegm. In cases of acute tuberculosis it has not done so well as in more chronic cases.
Also they are leading indications for it when present in combination with other disorders. A case of insanity with pityriasis yielded rapidly to the remedy. Pityriasis has been cured by it when all attempts to kill the body-lice by chemicals were useless.
Dr. Young has recorded the cure of several cases of cretinism. An inter-current course of Bacillinum will often make a wonderful change in patients who have a personal or family history of chest disorders.
Clarke has found an eczematous condition of the margins of the eyelids a strong indication for it. It is a miasmatic remedy of vast importance.
Grimmer uses it for cases stemming from a tubercular inheritance with extreme soreness of affected parts, patients of rheumatic tendencies with syphilitic taints in the bloodstream, general muscular soreness.

History
HISTORY - Bacillinum is a nosode of tuberculosis named and first described by Dr. Burnett, for whom it was prepared from tuberculosis sputum by Dr. Heath. As this preparation has been experimented with separately, its symptoms are given apart from the other nosodes of tuberculosis. Dr. Cartier has found it particularly useful in cases where there was excessive muco-purulent bronchial secretion threatening to occlude the lungs. It must be compared with Bacillinum testium, Tuber. Bovinum, Tuber. Aviaire and Tuber. Koch.
Dr. Burnett has shown that ringworm of the scalp and pityriasis versicolor on the body are indications of tubercular diathesis and they respond to Bacillinum. He cured a case of insanity with ringworm. Tuberculosis patients are better in dry sunny climates in mountains areas and in the pine forests. Sunlight helps to prevent tuberculosis, also there has been many cures of tuberculosis via sunbathing and the milk diet, which these patients crave.
