exercises her will". "Makes mistakes in writing, in speaking, cannot apply the mind steadily; tormentedabout her salvation".The patient tries to describe an indescribable feeling by saying she has a "crazy feeling, in thehead, as if the ideas scattered, and the more she attempts to think rationally the more irrational shebecomes. The more she attempts to think of something the less likely she is to recall it. When puttingthe mind upon something else it comes back again. This remedy has all kinds of symptoms from sexualexcesses in overwrought and nervous women, from sexual excitement, causing confusion of mind withpalpitation.It says in the text: "Listless, inert, yet does not want to sit still". This patient will sit still andbrood and think over the past, and when spoken to will jump up and run hastily and excitedly and slamthe door without any cause; when spoken to kindly by members of the family, or a friend, it seems thatshe will go wild. A patient once under an aggravation from this remedy said to me: "l was spoken totoday in a street car, and I was so mad I wanted to fling something at his head". She was thinking oversomething about herself, and did not want to be disturbed. It is a violent state of temper, a violent stateof irritability, a loss of balance. She says: "lt seems as if I must fly when spoken to or disturbed". Whencoming in contact with her friends she has these feelings. The contact seems to arouse her out of a stateof lassitude and quietness. Strange things occur in this remedy. The sensation described in the text areso vague and so varied that you can see that it is an effort on the part of the provers to describe whatthey feel. The sensations are numerous and indescribable.This patient very commonly is a warm-blooded patient. She is like the patient;warm-blooded, wants a cool room, likes to walk in the open air, except at times when the prolapsus isaggravated by walking. The head is generally relieved by moving about in the open air, > whenwalking walking in the open air. The headache and most of the complaints are relieved from cold, orfrom a cool room, and aggravated from a warm room. The dyspnoea comes on in a warm room. Thepatient suffocates in a crowded room, in the theater, in church, like and A crazy feeling comes up from the back of the head to the top of the head. What that is onlyone that feels it can describe. It is described sometimes as a tingling, or an electric sensation. A slighttingling comes up the back of the head and goes to the top, and is associated with vertigo. When youcome to sift that thought it really brings nothing to mind. Very often you have to get those thingsclinically, and think about them to get at the idea. The pains in the forehead are very marked, and theyare associated with great disturbance of vision, a loss of vision, the room looks dark, or the eyes areunable to focus. Nervous disturbance of vision, photophobia, twitching of the lids, jerking about theeyeballs, and inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eyes, of the lids and balls, conjunctivitis.Very often with the complaints of the head the eyes are turned in, a convergent strabismus, or there isthreatened syncope, with the pain in the forehead. By all these things mentioned it may be known whatan over-sensitive, extremely nervous, hysterical person the Lilium tig. patient must be. These things arecommonly associated with patients who are extremely nervous, who have fluttering of the heart, whohave pain down the spine, and more or less prolapsus, with a great sense of dragging down. When onecondition is present, the other is commonly absent; they alternate, or they may exist all together."Wild feeling in the head, as tho' she would go crazy, with pain in the right iliac region". Theseprovers seemed to like the expression "crazy feeling in the head, as if she would go crazy".That crazy feeling is a confusion of mind, as if the mind were quite unable to concentrate itself.That is what is interpreted by this crazy feeling the patients have. It is sometimes like a vertigo, as ifthings were going round, or as if she would lose her mind. Then it comes again as a terrible, tearingheadache, described as a crazy headache in the forehead. Headache in which there is confusion of themind, or as if the mind would go crazy.The abdomen, stool, urinary and sexual organs, furnish us a field for the use of this medicine.The whole abdominal viscera seem to be dragging down from the stomach. The patient wants to holdup the abdomen, pendulous abdomen. It seems as if the pelvic organs would protrude. The patient mustlie down, wants to wear a T bandage. Wants to grasp the abdomen from the sides and lift up forsupport. It is a sensation of weakness or bearing down in the pelvis as if everything were coming intothe world through the vagina.This remedy has a very urgent diarrhea, driving out of bed in the morning; he must make greathaste. You may get this confused with , because Lilium tig. has great heat in the head,emptiness in the stomach, and great burning of the palms and soles. It has also a dysentery that you willhardly be able to distinguish from , so marked is the tenesmus, mucus and blood. The stoolis merely mucus mingled with blood, and the tenesmus is as great and the burning in the anus asmarked as in It is especially suited for those attacks of dysentery that come on as anoccasional chronic manifestation in nervous patients such as I have described.
