C. W. related an interesting case in which a man had severe diarrhea, with profuse dark, chocolate -colored 
stools, verging on black and slightly tinged with blood. A club doc tor had failed to relieve, but an old woman 
cured the man with “yarrow tea.” 
C. W. had a collie dog that, when excited, would pull up grass or weeds and swallow them. When it happened 
to swallow Mill., this invariably caused a rattling of fluid in the bowels, followed by dark chocolate diarrhea, 
changing to black, very offensive, finally blood-tinged. 
This lasted a day or two. It was found that Ars -i. 3x in solution was a complete antidote. Given every ten 
minutes, as soon as rattling came on, it effectually stopped it. The dog also had fissured pads. Ars-i. did nothing 
for these, but Ars. 30c cured.
