tox.; I have known others to give Arnica.Hypericum is to be given at once to prevent the kind ofinflammation that may come from such an injury. Thenthere will be other tendencies, such as drawings andrheumatic symptoms, that will come on, calling forRhus and finally Calcarea. Old weaknesses of the back,with painfulness on rising from a seat, are often curedby Rhus, followed by Calcarea, but Hypericum mustfirst of all take care of the condition of the fibers of thecord and meninges. Meningeal troubles are commonfrom injuries of that class, with drawing of the musclesof the back, a feeling of contraction or tightening.Stitching, shooting pains in the back in variousdirections; they shoot down the limbs. Injuries of theback are not so likely to end in tetanus as the injuriesof the sensory nerves; but they are sometimes evenmore troublesome because they linger so long.Persons who have been injured in the spine or aboutthe coccyx linger along for years with symptoms thatwould lead to many remedies. We find in the provingssuch symptoms as occur after these injuries, and, ofcourse, this remedy will cure anything that its provingjustifies. Its action is upon the nerve sheaths andmeninges, with stitching, tearing, rending pains alongthe nerves, wherever there are injuries. Now, there isanother remedy that we want to know. If you have aclear-cut or incised wound made with a sharpinstrument, or if you have made such an opening withyour knife while practicing surgery, if you have openedthe abdominal cavity and the walls of the abdomentake on an unhealthy look, and there are stinging,burning pains, Staphisagria is the remedy that willmake granulation come immediately. Staphisagria isalso a wonderfully useful remedy where the sphincterstretchers have been. Staphisagria is the naturalantidote to stretching. When the urethra of a womanhas been stretched for stone in the bladder,Staphisagria is useful.I remember a case of stretching of the urethra; afterthe operation the patient was in great distress,screaming and crying, bathed in a cold sweat, head hotand body in cold sweat.
