Clarke of India napolis told of the use of Sil-mar as a remedy for constipationInfrequent or difficult bowel movementsA condition where stool is dry, hard, and difficult or painful to pass..
He
used it in patients of all ages with excellent results, giving it in crude doses.
W.
B.
Clarke’ s preparation was taken from the beach, just as it was left by the tide, on a pan of the coast many
miles distant from a river estuary or a drained town.
He preferred the rather coarse sand taken from a river
sand-bar.
He thought a finer variety may be better for younger patients.
This was thoroughly washed and baked in an oven.
The sand is taken plain or enclosed in caps ules or made
into pills.
In either case it is washed down with water and water is to be drunk freely during the treatment.
Sil-mar has Sil and Nat-m symptoms.
Inflamed glands and suppuration.
Constipation.

Clarke mentioned this case as the hardest he had encountered: a man, 60, had suffered for thirty years
with severe constipation often sitting at stool for an hour and nearly fainting.
He took a teaspoonful after dinner
daily for a week without particular effect.
Then he took it three times a da y for a week.
After this he was able to return to the one dose a day and soon
required it but once a week.
“The peculiarity of this treatment is the ease with which evacuation is accomplished
after the first impression is made, the dis charges being soft, mushy and yellow and the regular habit then
seems established, for the treatment can then be discontinued.”
If there is any return of the trouble, a dose or two more will be sufficient to put it right.
This experience is of
great value and interest as Sil in the potencies (as well as Nat-m.) is a great constipation remedy.

Clarke
never observed any ill effects of the treatment.

3c, three times a day, rapidly cured a case of gonorrhea in a patient who had many previous attacks,
as well as stricture which had been treated with cauterizations and strong silver nitrate.
It was this history which partly led Clarke to give the remedy on account of the Nai rn element contained in it.
The discharge was creamy and there was tenderness in the middle of the urethra.

Burnett told an interesting experience of his in which he was consulted about a boy who persiste d in spite of
punishment in eating sand when playing on the beach.
Burnett
Silica marina advised the parents to let the boy eat as much as he liked.
He kept it up for a fortnight, at the
end of which time he was vastly improved in health and he neither wa nted nor ate any more sand from that
day
