This is a very old medicine in great use in old-school practice for "fever mixtures." It has been experimented with by Wibmer, who experienced the following symptoms: "Scraping in throat. Increased warmth in abdomen; in the skin, especially of face. Heaviness in the head." It causes profuse flow of urine, said to contain sugar. "Bathed in sweat" is a leading indication.
