This remedy is displayed most prominently in the chylopoietic viscera. It is found peculiarly adapted to children with marasmus, worms, etc., though adults require its use often.

Face.--Face wrinkled, old, pale. Blue rings around dull looking eyes. Comedones with emaciation.

Gastric.--Appetite very great, though emaciation progresses. Sensation as if the stomach were hanging or swimming in water, with a peculiar feeling of coldness. Cutting pains in stomach, gnawing, burning, sometimes contracting and stinging, mostly worse at night.

Little Boys.--Epistaxis. Hydrocele. Emaciation.

Generalities.--Blood and moisture oozing from the navel of new-born children. A peculiar symptom is marasmus of lower extremities only. Great weakness and prostration after influenza. Itching chilblains. Gout, wrists and ankle-joints. Inflammatory rheumatism before swelling begins. Darting or twitching in either or both ovaries.
