Lachesis Trigonocephalus

Lachesis Trigonocephalus is a snake whose poison is true to its reputation. It is especially of use in diseases of sudden onset which make rapid progress to septicemia and D.I.C. leading to death. It is an interesting drug on the mental side where its chronicity is displayed. The patient suffers the delusion that he is under some supernatural control, with an uncanny ability to predict the future; Its action compels him to perform inhuman acts, even murder.This was Herings first proving. He came across this snake and its fearful reputation in the Amazonian jungles which he visited as a Herpetologist on behalf of the government.
My very first patient whom I treated independently was a case of gangrene of the right leg. Lachesis cured him within a month and he was sent home without performing an amputation
