The
special affinities of this drug are the mucous membrane of stomach, bowels,
and air-passages; bones and fibrous tissues. Kidneys, heart, and liver are
also affected. Incipient parenchrymatous; nephritis. Nephritis with gastric
disturbances. Cirrhosis of liver. Anćmia and absence of fever are
characteristic. General weakness bordering on paralysis. It is especially
indicated for fleshy, fat, light complexioned persons subject to catarrhs
or with syphilitic or scrofulous history. Symptoms are worse in the
morning; pains migrate quickly, rheumatic and gastric symptoms alternate.
More adapted to subacute rather than the violent acute stage. Mucous
membranes everywhere are affected. Catarrh of pharynx, larynx, bronchi and
nose, and a tough, stringy, viscid secretion is produced, which condition
is a very strong guiding symptom for this drug. Perforation of the septum.

Iritis, with punctuate deposits on inner surface of cornea. Slight pain,
with severe ulceration or inflammation (Conium opposite).
Ears.--Swollen, with tearing pains.
Thick, yellow, stringy, fetid discharge. Sharp stitches in left ear.
Nose.--Snuffles of children,
especially fat, chubby babies. Pressure and pain at root of nose, and
sticking pain in nose. Septum ulcerated; round ulcer. Fetid smell.
Discharge thick, ropy, greenish-yellow. Tough, elastic plugs from nose;
leave a raw surface. Inflammation extends to frontal sinuses, with distress
and fullness at root of nose. Dropping from posterior nares (Hydr). Loss of
smell. Much hawking. Inability to breathe through nose. Dryness. Coryza,
with obstruction of nose. Violent sneezing. Profuse, watery nasal
discharge. Chronic inflammation of frontal sinus with stopped-up sensation.
Face.--Florid complexion. Blotchy,
red appearance. Acne (Juglans; Kal ars). Bones sensitive, especially
beneath orbits.
