SPHERE OF ACTION
This is a cerebro-spinal remedy, and has a special and peculiar action upon that part of the animal system that presides over the generative organs, producing a state of the motor and sensitive nervous systems similar to hysteria. For nervous and hysterical diseases this is one of our very best remedies.
