CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS.—So far as we are able to ascertain, no special 
analysis of this species has been made that determines its individuality; we can 
therefore do no better than refer to the preceding species. 
PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION.—The principal proving of this remedy is that 
recorded by Prof. E. M. Hale,* who claims its sphere of action to be an irritant 
of the cerebro-spinal system and the alimentary tract. The symptoms prominent in 
his record are: Confusion of mind, vertigo, stupefaction and coma; dimness of 
vision; thickness of speech; nausea and vomiting ; eyes fixed and expressionless ; 
paresis of the tongue ; tympanitic distension of the stomach with cramp-like pains; 
constipation, with hard knotty stools; lameness and weakness of the lumbar 
region; and spasms and convulsions, followed by wryneck, episthotonos and 
paralysis.
