*Ferrum *pernit. has been used by old-school practitioners with good effect in the diarrhoeas of India, in lienteria, the diarrhoea of phthisis, diarrhoea in feeble and nervous females, also in scrofulous children with enlarged glands and obstinate ophthalmia. Though there are no provings of the remedy it is plain that these are specific effects.
