It has vesicular eruptions almosterysipelatous in character. One almost constant mental state is that he fears to be alone, yet dreadscompany. He dreads the necessity of having company, and it seems that the atmosphere is full offrightful and distressing things to worry him. This makes him low-spirited. The remedy seems to fit thesycotic constitution in its mental state and its generals. It seems to be fitted to those who had gonorrhearecently suppressed, because after that suppression will come on this mental state with inflammation ofglands.It is rather singular about the eruptions. One would not think that from so harmless a little shrubso much trouble would come; but there are persons who are just as sensitive to this vine as to Rhus, andit resembles Rhus to a great extent in its manifestations. It produces just as poisonous a condition asRhus. Here I might speak of several remedies which relate to the Rhus poison. There are manyvesicular remedies that look like Rhus, and all of them you will have to use more or less in theirantidotal relations to each other, but it is well to be sure in a given case which one of them produced thepoison. Croton tig., Rhus, Ranunculus, Anacardium and Clematis at times look so much alike that I amunable to tell them apart by their eruptions.They are all similar enough to each other to become universal antidotes. The others are alldeeper acting than Rhus. The Ranunculus, the little buttercup, has cured epithelioma of the lids. It hascured cancerous affections, so we say it goes deep into the tissues.On the outer head we have a part of the manifestations of Clematis; vesicular eruptions withgreat itching, stinging and crawling. Now what is true of the eruption here will be true of the Clematiseruption everywhere. It is aggravated from washing.
