SPHERE OF ACTION

Through the cerebro-spinal system, its centre of action is upon the vagi; through it, producing inflammation of the lungs, especially its mucous membrane, and the stomach. Its action on the liver is probably through the pneumogastric nerve.

GRAND CHARACTERISTICS.

Tough, rusty-colored sputa, in the second and third stages of pneumonia.

Excessive dyspnoea.

Troublesome, harassing cough, with marked inflammatory action, where you are uncertain whether you are dealing with a chronic bronchitis or an incipient tuberculosis.-HOLCOMBE.

Breath and sputa smell bad, even to the patient.

Circumscribed redness of the cheeks in the afternoon; patient lies on his back; pulse small and quick.

This is a very useful remedy in inflammation of the lungs, bronchitis and asthma.

It has proved itself of great value in croup.-Dr. T.Nichol claims no remedy can equal it in genuine membranous croup.

Roundish or oval, whitish and raised patches on the mucous membrane of the nose, mouth, prepuce and anus.

In acute and chronic catarrh of the nasal mucous membrane, a snuff of Sanguinaria has been of great utility; it should be given internally at the same time.

Sick headache. Pain commences in the back of the head, rises and spreads over the head and settles down over the right eye, with nausea and vomiting; has to be in the dark and perfectly still.

Annoying flushings at the climacteric age, where the functions of the pneumogastric nerve are more or less irritated.
