At another time, during the climacteric period, a woman is run down by overwork and muchchild bearing; she has repeated uterine haemorrhages of this character, bright red intermingled withclots; pain from sacrum to pubes; she becomes exhausted and anemic, but after a while she again buildsup, her face becomes plump and she becomes plethoric, only to be broken by another hemorrhage.Uterine hemorrhage in fibroids.Chronic catarrh of vagina with granulations, copious leucorrhoea. Bloody leucorrhoea. Old,prolonged, psoric cases.This medicine especially suits gonorrhoea in women. It has all the wart-like excrescences foundin , and found in sycosis. The wart is a little sensitive wart, appears to be coveredwith a thin film, and bleeds from the slightest touch.Sabina cures warty excrescences about the anus, cauliflower excrescences, gonorrheal wartsabout the vulva and about the male genitals.In the uterine hemorrhages compare it with , which has a gush of bright redblood fully as copious as Sabina, but at the beginning of that gush, before it has kept on long enough toproduce exhaustion, the face becomes pale, there is nausea and a feeling of faintness, syncope, all outof proportion to the amount of blood lost. produces a gushing flow, but it has acontinuous dribbling day after day, a continuous flow of bright red blood. looks like Sabina,and when it is indicated it should never be given in large quantities. It has the expulsive, bearing down,labor-like pains, with the expulsion of large clots and copious flow, but the flow is dark and offensiveand after a short time it becomes thin and watery, leaving a brown stain difficult to wash out; at timestarry, copious and continuous, as if the uterus had no ability to contract. If you observe the cases inwhich during labor or abortion crude had been used, you will notice that the patient has feebleuterine contractions as a resultant condition, and this will be seen during the menses or in the nextlabor. The symptoms of last for years; it is another psora. Large doses may kill the foetus andcause abortion, but she will continue to bleed; the uterus will not contract when she most needscontractions. It produces a paralytic condition. and this is the state we prescribe for. Weseldom prescribe it for its primary effect, but rather for the state of subinvolution, when the uterusretains the secundines. There is a continuous oozing of dark and offensive flow. The picture is morecomplete if we find that no matter how cool the room is she does not want heat, but wants to beuncovered, and she is a lean, shrivelled, scrawny, hungry patient with dusky skin; she never takes onfat; is not robust. It produces varicoses of the skin and the skin about the toes becomes dusky, and overthe shin bones are dark spots, and she wants to lie with the extremities uncovered.

The physician must be acquaintedwith the emergency remedies, such as belong to the violent diarrhoeas, cholera, violent sufferings andhaemorrhages.

The uterus will not contract on itself until ithas something to contract on, like a clot or mole. Haemorrhages from other parts as well. But otherremedies have taken its place in these regions because the individualizing symptoms have not beenbrought out.Much rheumatism and gout; gouty nodosities in the joints; they burn so and are so hot that thepatient is compelled to put the hands or feet out of bed. Gouty cases, especially when the constitutionalstate changes; an alternation; when the gout is present there will be no haemorrhages, and when thereare haemorrhages the gout will be relieved.
