produces yellow discharge from the nose, even yellowish-green.Borax is laid down as producing greenish discharge, which is a general of the remedy, is a whitedischarge.The face of the infant is pale, and clay-colored. "Children has small vesicles around the mouth,and on the forehead. Natr- mur. produces herpetic eruptions around the mouth in all of its febrile states,and when the patient takes child. Borax is sometimes forgotten, and Natr. mur. is thought of because itis better known. When the Natrum constitution is present, then it becomes a process ofindividualization to determine which one of the Natrums is indicated."Aphthae in mouth and on tongue". "Aphthae on tongue and inside of check". This alone is notan indication for Borax, although Borax is one among many medicines when the mouth is so sore thatthe child lets loose its hold of the nipple or bottle.Many prescribers give Borax on that indication alone; but the constitutional state ought to behunted up, so that there may be constitutional foundation for the remedy. Sulf-ac. is more frequentlyindicated. "Red blisters on tongue". "Vomiting after drinking". This leads one to expect that thisaphthous state has traveled down the esophagus into the stomach. There are many stomach symptomspresent that are likely to be the result of some such condition. "Buccal mucous membrane highlyreddened". The sore mouth, such as mothers have and such as infants have, can be cured with Borax."After every meal flatulent distension"."Constant vomiting". "Vomiting of sour slime". The Borax patient with stomach aphthae willgag and retch and cough, and that is what is called a "stomach cough". mothers say, "It is a stomachcough", because the child gags and retches with it. "Stomach cough with pain extending into region ofspleen".Little ones often get summer complaints when they need Borax.All around about the anus you will see the aphthous appearances.Great slimy stools are passed day and night; the child keeps up a pitiful crying; the mouth isaphthous, child is emaciating, and holds its head back. "Stools; frequent, soft, light yellow, slimy".Quantities of fluid like boiled starch are emitted from the anus; Borax has that as well as Argentumnitricum. There are also conditions of the rectum producing thickening of the mucus membrane, withstricture, growing smaller and smaller until finally a long thin stool is passed, no larger than a pencil.This inflammatory stricture has been cured by Borax.In this oversensitive child when the catarrhal state is general the urine burns so when it passesthat with the first urging (which causes the child to realize it must soon urinate) it screams out; screamswith the desire to urinate. That is what it means when it says "Worse before urination". It is not that thestate of the urinary organs is worse before urinating, but the child in realizing that it must urinatescreeches and screams. "Frequent Urination preceded by cries". The urine burns and you may knowthat the child must soon urinate because it commences to cry. "Orifice of urethra pains as if sore, afterurinating without being able to pass a drop".This remedy has cured gonorrhea. Wherever there is mucous membrane you may expect to findthe aphthous patches. There is another feature like Natr. mur. and Natr. carb.; in both male and femaleit takes away sexual desire; it benumbs the patient, and hence the mind and sexual organs are in a stateof indifference.Then we come to the most striking feature of Borax in regard to the female sexual organs; in themenstrual flow will be found membrane. Borax cures the most violent forms of membranousdysmenorrhoea, when there are violent labor-like pains before and during the flow and it seems as ifthe uterus would expel itself from the vagina. The flow starts slightly, but the same violent pains keepon, until the expulsion of the membrane. I have known Borax to cure when the membrane was a cast ofthe uterus. Such patients are easily startled from downward motion; let that be your guide to Borax inmembranous dysmenorrhoea. She dreads downward motion, and motions like swinging and rocking."During menses; throbbing in head and rushing in ears". "Pinching and griping in abdomen"; that worddoes not describe it exactly, for it is like the pain in labor; "pain extending from stomach". Pain like thestabbing of a knife in the groin, and that may occur either before or during menstruation. "Tired; sweatafter midnight". But, remember, with such things you must have the mental state, the nervous, excitablestate and then Borax will cure this dysmenorrhoea. Another grand feature of Borax I read in the nextsentence. "Leucorrhoea like the white of eggs". It has albuminous leucorrhoea which feels like a hotfluid, and flows down the legs. "White albuminous or starchy leucorrhoea". "Acrid leucorrhoeaappearing for two weeks". "Leucorrhoea white as mucus, without any other ailment". Now from thisacrid leucorrhoea, from the menstrual state, this false membrane forming and being thrown off, it is nowonder that women are sterile. All these women are sterile, all who have such symptoms are sterile andBorax has cured sterility when this condition was the cause. You will find routinists prescribe Borax
