forgotten that he wakes at 3 o'clock in the morning and cannot get to sleep until 5 o'clock, he hasforgotten all the nervous manifestations. With the patient you have had under control, whoseconstitutional state you get before this condition comes, you ought not to have much difficulty.One of the evidences that the Kali carb. patient is of a weakly constitution and is on the road toa break-down is that all of his symptoms are aroused and brought into action after coition, after sexualexcitement. Now you will take notice in practice and remember it, that coition is a natural thing withman, when it is carried on in order, and when that which is natural is followed by prostration, and thishas been so for a long time, there is a break in the constitution, there is something radically wrong. Allthe symptoms are likely to be worse after coition in Kali carb. He has weak vision, weakness of thesenses, tremulousness, and is generally nervous; he is sleepless, and weak, and he shivers and tremblesfor a day or two after coition. Similar symptoms are observed in the woman. In spite of the fact that thepatient is weak, the sexual desire is excessive. It is not orderly. There is a sexual erethism, which is notunder the command of the will, and in the male he is subject to copious and frequent pollutions, nightlydreams, sexual prostration. Young men who have abused themselves, or who have indulgedexcessively in sexual pleasure, go into marriage with weakened genitals, incapacitated; and then therecomes a disgust, and it is not strange that there are so many divorces in the world. When the patient isyoung some of this trouble can be overcome by living an orderly life and correct Homeopathy.In Kali carb. there are many complaints affecting the male genital organs; uneasiness andsensitiveness of the testicles.One is in a state of swelling and hardness. Itching and smarting and annoying sensations in thescrotum and sensations that constantly remind the patient that he has, genital organs.Constant irritation calling his attention to the genitals, brought on from abuse, from vice, fromexcesses. Phosphorus is a medicine that is abused in this sphere. Many physicians look upon it as oneof the great remedies for the weakness of the genital organs. In Phos. the genital indications areextreme excitement, too active erections, a disorderly strength of the genital organs. Beware of giving itin impotency or in weakness, as this is often associated with very feeble constitutions, and Phos. notonly fails to cure, but seems to add to the weakness. It is a weakness that you will learn is a vitalweakness. Phos. will set patients to running down more rapidly who are suffering from a vitalweakness, who are always tired, simply weak, always prostrated and want to go to bed.The female has a great friend in Kali carb. lt is full of her complaints and has many symptomslikely to be found in a sick woman. It is useful in cases of uterine hemorrhages that have been incessantin pale, waxy, hemorrhagic women; incessant haemorrhage following an abortion. She has beencuretted and has had all sorts of treatment, but still that oozing keeps right on.At the menstrual period the flow is very copious and clotted, and then after prolongedmenstruation of ten days or so, during which she has had a copious flow, she settles back into a state ofoozing and flowing until next month and then it rouses up into another ten days of copiousmenstruation. Kali carb. has cured a number of cases of fibroid tumor long before it was time for thecritical period to cure. You must remember that there is natural tendency for a fibroid to cease to growat the climacteric period, and afterwards to shrivel and that this takes place without any treatment, butthe appropriate remedies will cause that hemorrhage to cease, will cause that tumor to cease to growand after a few days there will be a grand shrinkage in its size.Kali carb. is often a remedy for vomiting in pregnancy, but to find out when it is the remedy forvomiting of pregnancy we have to go to the whole constitutional state. Vomiting of pregnancy is notcured, although it may be temporarily relieved, by Ipecac., as this is a medicine that correspondsmerely to the nausea itself. In a large number of instances gagging and nausea are only a second orthird grade symptom in the remedy that will cure. The condition really depends upon the constitutionalstate, and the remedy that is to cure must be a constitutional remedy.Sulfur, Sepia and Kali carb. are among the remedies commonly indicated. Sometimes Arsenic isneeded. Of course, if a pregnant woman has simply disordered her stomach and has vomited bile a fewtimes the remedy might be Ipecac. When a pregnant woman has no constitutional symptoms at all, andupon examining the case you find nothing but the nausea, overwhelming deathly nausea, withcontinuous vomiting day and night, a single dose of Symphoricarpus rac. will help. That is prescribingupon very limited information, and should only be done in circumscribed or one-sided cases. It is not along acting remedy, it is not a constitutional remedy and acts very much like Ipecac.At times you will go into the confinement room when the woman has pains in the back belowthe waist line. The pains in the uterus are very weak, they are not sufficiently expulsive to makeprogress in the labor, the kind of pain that makes the woman utter the cry, "My back, my back!" Thepains extend down the buttocks and legs. Pains in the back as if the back would break.
