tongue and fauces". Putrid odor from the mouth. Mouth foul, so sore that he was unwilling to drink. Allthis points to tingling and raw condition of the buccal cavity far back into the throat. If you look intothe buccal cavity you will see the parts raw, denuded and bleeding. Excessive flow of saliva, which isacrid. Mouth burns and is sore. Cries when anything is offered. Buccal cavity covered with diphtheriticulcers, also with aphthous patches, which cover the whole mouth and tongue. It says "stinging", but itis a painful tingling, stinging like the sting of a bee, stinging pains in the throat, and the parts areulcerated, raw and bleed.It has a diarrhea, such as occurs in idiopathic typhoid. If you have ever seen the yellow cornmealmush when it is dropped on a plate, it has the appearance of the typhoid yellow stools. When thismedicine is suitable diarrhea is yellow like corn-meal; frequent, fecal, thin, mushy, yellow, is thedescription of this typhoid stool. There are other times that the stool is dark brown, watery, thin. As isusual, the feces are acrid . The thin feces escape from the anus and keep the parts raw and burning.With other complaints, in typhoid especially, in the groin where the thigh bends upon theabdomen an excoriation takes place with acrid moisture. Again, we notice rawness over the coccyx. Amoisture and rawness from acrid fluid in the posterior part of the fissure back of the anus so that overthe coccyx and back of the anus there is rawness and acrid moisture.The voice comes in for an extensive part of the trouble. It has been found especially to relate tosingers and public speakers. At times when a lawyer has had a long case and he is taking a final effort,and has been speaking three or four hours, and while in a sweat has got into a draft or gone out, hefinds himself hoarse and cannot finish his speech, a dose of Arum triph. will enable him to go on withhis speech in a clear voice.It clears up the hoarseness. In public speakers and singers who have been compelled to strainthe voice and have taken a little cold and the voice is hoarse after prolonged exercise; this is the moststriking feature of the Arum Triph. voice. "Voice hoarse; from over-exertion of the voice in speaking orsinging"."Voice uncertain, uncontrollable, changing continually continually, now deep, now hoarse, etc".It manifests itself in this way. A person starts in a certain pitch and he cannot talk to you, but he triesanother pitch and can talk. It is a queer thing that on certain notes they are voiceless, which shows thatthere is an irregular and patchy inflammation of the vocal cords; it is not a uniform inflammation or thevoice would be uniformly affected. "Clergyman's sore throat", is not a good expression, because it isclergyman's hoarseness that is meant; hoarseness and rawness of the throat of public speakers whentalking. Of course you would say any voice that is hoarse is aggravated when talking, but it is notalways so. The Rhus hoarseness carries with it its characteristic relief from motion, and the use of thevoice is motion of the larynx.When the Rhus Patient commences to use the voice he finds that he is hoarse, but after using thevoice a little it looseness up, becomes freer, or, in other words, it is better from motion. This may be soeither in acute or chronic hoarseness. Now, in this remedy as in Phosphorus, the voice is amelioratedfrom clearing the vocal cords of a little mucus. It is not so in Rhus tox., for it is a weakness andparalysis from cold. It is well known under Rhus tox. that the tendons and muscles that are rheumaticbecome weak, They are stiff on beginning to move and are ameliorated when they are warmed up; so itis with the voice.Now, in the chest there is burning and rawness when coughing; this extends to the pit of thestomach. "Raw feeling in chest"."Lungs feel sore". "Soreness in lung". You will notice that many times patients and proversstate sufferings are in the lungs, which may not really be the region affected. Most likely from what isknown of other symptoms this burning is in the trachea, although it says in the lungs. This remedy doeshave burning in the trachea, the whole length of it, during an attack of coughing, and burning in thelarger branches of the bronchial tubes. The catarrhal state is largely confined to these parts, the tracheaand bronchi, but this medicine has cured pneumonia.It has been found useful as a palliative in phthisis. It is used in crude form among the farmers asa domestic medicine for coughs and colds and as a palliative in consumption. In many of the farmhouses you will find the wild turnip hung up in strings like beads to be dried and grated and used withsugar and cream.I mentioned the fact that it seems to favor the left side of the head, the left nostril, the left sideof the face. It also prefers the left chest and the left lung. It has soreness in the left side of the chest andleft arm. It has a sensation of fullness in the thorax and soreness extending down and involving the leftlung.Here is a clinical picture of fever: "Typhoid forms of fever; picking ends of fingers and dry lipstill they bleed, etc".
