there is dullness in the lower part of each lung and plenty of resonance in the upper portion. Then it is,if he lies down, he will suffocate. Digitalis likes mostly to lie flat on the back with no pillow, whenthere is no filling up of the lungs. But when there is hypostatic congestion he suffocates. If early in thecase the pulse was slow and it has become fast, Digitalis may be of some benefit.Now, a feature in connection with the genito-urinary organs.In old cases of enlarged prostate gland I do not know what I would do without Digitalis. Wherethere is a constant teasing to pass urine. In many instances where the catheter has been used for monthsor years because he is unable to pass urine in a natural way, and where there is a residuary urine in oldbachelors and old men, Digitalis is a good remedy. It diminishes the size of the prostate gland and hasmany times cured. "Dropsy with suppression of urine".

In persons addicted for years to secret vices. Enlargedprostate gland.It is capable of curing chronic gonorrhea. It has cured acute gonorrhea. It has curedinflammation of that thin, delicate membrane covering the glands penis. Dropsical swelling of thegenitals."Loss of appetite and violent thirst". Most doctors give Sulfur when the patient drinks much andeats little. The nausea of Digitalis is not like that of Ipecac. and Bryonia. It is a singular nausea. Thesmell of food excites a deathly nausea, a sinking, a goneness, associated with cardiac troubles, withjaundice and liver troubles. The nausea is accompanied by a deathly feeling, as if he is sinking away.Sometimes the nausea is relieved by eating, but the sinking remains after eating, showing that it issomething besides hunger. "Persistent nausea.Extreme sensitiveness in the pit of the stomach. Faintness and sinking in the pit of the stomachas if he would die. No appetite, but great thirst. Soreness and hardness in the region of the liver.Sensitiveness to pressure in the region of the liver". Now remember the liver and the heart symptoms,the jaundice, the slow pulse, the awful sinking in the stomach, the enlargement of the prostate gland,the gray stool, and you have the principal symptoms of Digitalis.After all that I have said you are not surprised at the horrible anxiety that the Digitalis patientcarries with him all the time. He wants to be alone; sadness, melancholy, despondency and restlessness.He can't decide upon anything that he ought to do; tremulousness. The stomach, bowel and livertroubles are just what you see sometimes in a hard drinker after trying to break off.
