Egg-shell. Trituration of the shell, not including its lining membrane.
Clinical
Leucorrhoea. Warts.
Characteristics
This preparation of *Calcarea has been used in preference to others in cases of simple bland leucorrhoea. Water in which eggs have been boiled is popularly supposed to have the property of causing warts if brought in contact with the hands. This suggests *Calc-ov-test. as possibly the best *Calcarea preparation to prescribe in cases of warts. No doubt *Calc-o-t. has the general properties of *Calcarea carb. ostrear (i.e., ordinary *Calcarea Carb.), but it has been little used clinically. “Backache, as if broken in two,” is a keynote.
