CEREBRAL TYPHUS AND ITS REMEDIES

The first three have wild delirium so nearly alike that if this were all it would not always be an easy task to choose between them, but happily aside from this there are symptoms peculiar to each, and again even in those that are similar there are different degrees of intensity; for instance—Hyoscyamus has greater stupor than either of the others, when there is stupor.

Belladonna has more active congestion to the brain, with drowsiness and inability to go to sleep, or on the verge of falling off into, or if he does fall asleep, starts and jumps as if frightened, there is red face and eyes and throbbing of the carotids, the skin is very hot, which under the bed clothes may be found moist or sweating, i. e., covered parts sweat. I give these as characteristics for this remedy, and they do not occur, or at least to anything like the same degree, under the other two remedies.

Belladonna is most apt to be useful in the beginning of tumultuous cases, exceptionally later.

PREMONITORY SYMPTOMS AND CONVALESCENCE

Belladonna has often relieved when there was severe throbbing congestive headache, < lying down, with drowsiness but inability to sleep, temperature high and pulse quick.
