Introduction

Helleborus foetidus, Linn. Natural order: Ranunculaceae. Preparation: Tincture of the root.

Mind

Dreadful anxiety, which however, is relieved after vomiting.

Eye

Great difficulty in reading, in the evening, by candlelight, lasting four days. The sensation is that caused when the light flickers in a draught of air; he has difficulty in following the lines (after two days).

Ear

Thumping pain below and behind the left ear; this feeling soon passes off.

Mouth

Smarting at the tip of the tongue. My wife, who assisted in triturating this plant, experienced a painful sensation in the mouth, like aphthae. Excoriation of the mouth and throat. Taste of manure in the mouth; tongue yellow in the middle.

Stomach

Nausea and vomiting of food, which, and hour before, had been taken with relish and in moderation. Several turns of nausea, without vomiting, nineteen hours after. Sickness. Constant inclination to vomit. When pounding the plant, it seems that the epigastrium with difficulty keeps time with the inflation of the chest on inspiration. Frightful pain in the pit of the stomach.

Abdomen

Colic.

Stool

Violent purging and vomiting, with pain in the stomach. Abundant and liquid stool during the night; next day, two liquid and whitish stools, with colic; again a liquid stool forty-eight hours after.

Chest

Tightness of the chest; he can scarcely half draw his breath.

Neck

Numbness in the muscles of the neck (the sensibility of the part to touch is blunted); it becomes stiff eighteen hours after.

General Symptoms

Fatal convulsions. Swooning. Same general feeling as if he had come out of a severe sickness.

Skin

They lost not only the epidermis, but their hair and nails besides. The hair falls off, also the nails from the fingers and toes. The scarf skin peels off the whole body. Profuse discharge from the ulcerated surface (from application).

Sleep

During the night the prover stirs a great deal (in his sleep).
