The mother finds that by holding the child on her hand it will relieve the colic. That is likeColocynth; but Colocynth is without much fever, without much thirst, a pain in one spot, an intensecolic in the abdomen ameliorated by doubling up, ameliorated by bending across something hard, isColocynth. In that instance Colocynth can be prescribed on that one group of symptoms."Great pain in the ileo-coecal region; cannot bear the slightest touch, even the bed clothes".There are instances where Bell. is the remedy in appendicitis.Belladonna has dysenteric troubles. Diarrhea, with scanty fluid stool; marked straining, but withit the face is flushed.Heat, redness and burning in the face and head. Cold extremities, with hot head. Muchstraining, but passes scanty stool."Spasmodic constriction of sphincter ani; with hemorrhoids".Hemorrhoids that are violently painful, that are intensely red, that are greatly swollen andinflamed a high grade of inflammation; cannot be touched; must lie with limbs wide apart, thehemorrhoids are painful and there is much burning.No remedy has a greater irritation in the bladder and along the urinary tract than Bell. Theurging to urinate is constant.The urine dribbles, and it burns intensely along the whole length of the urethra. The wholeurinary tract is in a state of irritation. Bell. has cured inflammation of the bladder. With the irritationand the congestion there is all the sensitiveness to pressure we find in any other part where Bell. isindicated; sensitive to a jar. Irritable state of the mind, irritable state of the whole nervous system."Tenesmus of the bladder. After passing urine sits and strains", in torment. The urine is diminished,bloody, sometimes pure blood, or little blood clots.A considerable quantity of blood in the bladder comes away in little clots. "The urine looks as ifmixed with brick dust, or streaks. Strongly acid". There is a spasmodic retention of urine and there isinvoluntary passing of urine. Dribbling of urine in brain troubles. During sleep, dribbling of urine.Dreams that he is passing urine, and involuntarily passed it. Retention of urine after shock, or fromcongestion of the brain, or after confinement. Bladder full; great pain; great sensitiveness.Involuntary dribbling while standing and walking; or sometimes from mere motion the urinespurts. The urging is violent and sudden. When a little urine has collected in the bladder he has asudden, painful urging. Much of the trouble is at the neck of the bladder, and it is spasmodic. He feelsthe spasmodic clutching.At the time of the urging, and at other times, he has spasm of the neck of the bladder, fromshock from cold, from anxiety from mental disturbances. When becoming old, or chilled, or in verycold air women lose their urine, like Dulcamara and Causticum.Starts in sleep, and wets bed. Dreams of a fright, which causes a starting, and she wets the bed.On going to sleep, a sudden electric shock goes through the whole body, and she wets the bed.Bell. is rich with such strange little peculiarities; but it only shows the general spasmodiccondition and the general irritability of the whole Belladonna constitution. We see those strangeconditions and states, the irritability in all parts of the body, especially where there are sphincters,where there are circular fibers clutching in the neck of the bladder; clutching at the mouth of thevagina; constriction of tubes. Constriction of the uterus. Here we see a special marked feature of it, inthe neck of the bladder. It has more troubles in the woman than in the man; that is in the symptoms andconditions in relation to the female sex organs, and to parturition, and to the breasts, and during theperiod of gestation there are many conditions where Belladonna will be needed. It is really animportant remedy for the nervous sensitive woman, the woman of irritable fiber.In the male genitals we have scarcely any important symptoms; but with the female there aremany, and some very distressing ones. They have symptoms of great suffering, of great excitability.The parts are sensitive; the uterus and ovaries are congested, sore to touch, sensitive to jar. Irritableuterus, until it has become enlarged and painful, and sore to the touch.Sometimes it remains in this state after parturition. Or, after every menstrual period it is a littlelarger, and remains. It does not return to its normal state, but remains congested, and the woman feelsall through the interim as if she was menstruating. Bruised feeling; sensitive to a jar. The flow iscopious and clotted. But the most striking feature here is the uterine hemorrhage. Uterine hemorrhagefrom congestion, with spasms with great sensitiveness. The uterus contracts with violence, hence, aspasmodic contraction. Great soreness, with a copious flow of bright red fluid mixed with clots, is thecharacteristic of the Belladonna flow. It is like Sabina in that respect. Those two medicines have that ina high grade. The uterus fills with a clot, and then comes a contraction like a labor pain and expels it;for a while a copious flow of fluid; and then contractions like labor pains come on again, expelling theclots, and then comes the flow. The blood clots soon, and the hemorrhage is attended with great
