SCILLA MARITIMA. 167 



useful for excessive secretion of mucus in the chest, for which 

 it has already been recommended by Weickard. The primary 

 effect of Scilla upon the urinary passages is great ardor urinse, 

 with copious emission of clear secretion. In a few hours after 

 this first and positive effect of Scilla, the secondary effect or 

 reaction of the organism takes place, being the contrary of the 

 primary effect, viz., little desire for micturition and scanty 

 secretion. Dropsical swellings can only be cured by Scilla 

 when the symptoms of the urinary organs correspond to those 

 of Scilla : such are very rare. Scilla will, on the contrary, be 

 found a specific remedy for diabetes.
