SPHERE OF ACTION

Through the cerebro-spinal system, acts especially upon the mucous membrane of the kidneys, and intestinal canal.

The sentient nerves, and blood are also acted upon by this remedy.

GRAND CHARACTERISTICS

Congestion and inflammation of the urinary organs, with scanty, high colored urine.

Burning drawing pains in the kidneys.

Blood is thoroughly mixed with the urine, like coffee-ground sediment.

Pressure in the bladder, extending up-

– into the kidneys when sitting, disappearing when walking. — HALE.

Digestive Organs.- Tongue smooth and glossy, as if deprived of its papillae, in typhoid fevers. — WOOD.

Also the tongue is red and glossy, in stomatitis and entero- colitis.

Stomatitis materna, extending from the mouth to the anus; tongue very sore, red and glossy, burning like fire; immense tympanitis; stools copious; watery, greenish, very fetid; has from ten to twenty from 12 a.m. to 12 p.m.; fainting after each stool; pulse 125, weak and wiry, with no pain.

Entero-colitis, with frequent and exhaustive stools, greatly aggravated from 12 a.m. to 12 p.m. Accompanied with a red glossy tongue; great tympanitis; no pain. Entero-colitis, with hemorrhages and ulceration of the bowels, especially epithelial degeneration. — HALE.

Stools of mucus and water, more in the morning. — HALE.

I have found that the stools are more in afternoon and evenings, where Turpentine has acted most beautifully.

Griping, pinching colic, with muco-purulent stools.

Burning in the right hypochondrium. — LIPPE.

This is a most excellent remedy in chronic diarrhoea. And for hemorrhages from the bowels in typhoid fever we have no better remedy.

Worms, with foul breath; choking sensation in the throat; dry, hacking cough; vertigo, &c.

Great languor and loss of strength. — HOLCOMBE.

In Diarrhoea, prostration is a very prominent symptom.

Air passages.– Dryness of the mucous membranes of the air- passages. — LIPPE.

Burning in the chest along the sternum. — LIPPE.

Head.- Neuralgia, and nervous headaches.

Mind clear, then unconscious, followed by inability to concentrate his mind. — F. W. ROGERS, M.D.

Exhilaration; steep hills were mounted without effort.- ROGERS.

This remedy has not been used so much as it should be; in chronic diarrhoea; stomatitis; hemorrhage from the bowels, and in typhoid fever, it is of great value. Also in many cases of neuralgia.
