It is a very deepactingmedicine, and an antipsoric, antisyphilitic and anti-sycotic. It is insidious in its action and itssymptoms are slow in approach; it is like the deepest and slowest and most tedious diseases, themiasms, and hence it is suitable in the very slowest and lowest form of disease. While it has in itsnature some febrile action, it is not for this purpose that it is oftenest called for; its most typical febrileaction is very slow and insidious. It corresponds to overheated states of the system, old cases of nightlyfevers, coming on week after week and year after year.It is an unusually hot-blooded remedy at times, and again it has conditions of coldness. In theevening and night great heat seems to evolve from the body without increase of temperature.The skin becomes very hot. That patient is often < from warm things, < from covering, < fromwarm air; suffocates somewhat like Puls. in a warm room. He wants to loathe the face and head in coldwater; such bathing is grateful. The feet burn and are put out of bed in the night; he hunts around in bedfor a cool place for the feet and hands. The soles perspire, and the palms perspire, and the sweat isacrid, making the parts sore; excoriation from the sweat between the toes. The perspiration is offensive;offensive, acrid sweat between the toes. Burning, unusual heat and acridity are words that modify agreat many symptoms; an acrid lachrymation or other discharge from the eye; acrid discharge from thenose, acrid sweat, etc. Sensation of burning and burning pains in parts; heat evolved from the body as achronic state. .Aggravation from heat, from outward heat and from inward heat, belongs to this remedy.It is a strong feature of this remedy to be worse from drinking tea and coffee. Warm drinks bring on adiarrhea, or flatulence, or disturbance in the stomach, and cause indigestion to manifest itself in variousways. The symptoms are worse standing and sitting and better in the open air.It is a remedy of great depth of action. It so disturbs the functions that there are peculiaroutward signs in the nails, in the hair, in the skin; they are all imperfectly developed.Whenever such is the case, we know that a remedy has great depth of action and that it is verylong acting. It forms little incrustations here and there upon the skin that seem to have no tendency toheal. A crust forms, but there seems to be no healing beneath the crust. The hair loses its luster; it fallsout, and if examined closely under the microscope it is seen to be necrosed; little ragged ulcers will befound along the course of the hair. The ends of the hair are dry, the hair mats and splits and breaks,becomes ragged in masses and lusterless. The nails are crippled, likewise corrugations in the nails; thenails grow too fast and grow awkwardly; that is, they are deformed and crippled, too thick in someplaces, and too thin in others; break easily, brittle. There is a tendency to breaking down of a slowcharacter, where the circulation is very feeble, and the skin is near bone or cartilage, as in the cartilagesin the ears, and in the cartilages of joints. Ulcers develop over the tibia. There is feeble circulation inthe hands and feet, and they become cold.In the evening the extremities burn and are feverish, because that is the time of the feverishstate; but in the morning and in the daytime there is coldness of the extremities. The patient is pallidand sickly, and at times becomes waxy and dropsical; oedema of the extremities, and particularly of thelower extremities; oedema of certain parts; oedema of the prepuce. When a debilitated subject, onesuffering from bone and cartilaginous troubles, contracts gonorrhea, with it he will have enormousswelling of the prepuce, and nothing seems to act upon it.Fluoric acid will cure edema of the prepuce with gonorrhea in such a subject. Cannabis sativahas the same symptom, but it is especially useful in robust cases. Fluoric acid will prevent themanifestation of disease in sycotic subjects, will prevent formation of fig-warts. It cures fig-warts. Itproduces hardened, dry warts, and dry crusts upon the skin, and crusts not unlike rupia. It is useful insyphilitic rupia.Bone affections stand out prominently. Necrosis, especially of the long bones, but also of thebones of the ear. It creates an offensive acrid discharge charge from the ear. It establishes an offensive
