Characteristics
Allen quotes from Wolff and Gouzee the following constant pathogenetic effects observed in patients to whom *Kali-pi. was given for intermittent fever: Jaundice, diarrhoea, pain in pit of stomach, violent eructations, colic, urine clear, brownish red, not from bile pigment, but from large quantities of urate of ammonia. *Kali-pi. Is an intensely yellow salt, and yellow substances generally act powerfully on the liver, as is the case with Picric acid itself and its other salts.
