20 FLORA HOM(@OPATHICA. 
Mepicat Uses (Hommoparuic).—The chief symptoms in 
which Aithusa may be useful, are the following : great anguish; 
vertigo, with drowsiness ; weight in the forehead, with ill- 
humour; rending tearing pain in the face and malar bones; 
continual thirst; violent vomiting of a frothy, milky substance; 
short, anxious respiration ; in some kinds of tetanic convulsions ; 
and also in hay fever. 
AntipotEs.—Vegetable acids. In treating the poisonous 
effects, produce, in the first place, vomiting, either by tickling 
the fauces with a feather, or by giving twenty grains of ipeca- 
cuanha ; apply friction to the body, and mustard poultices to 
the feet ; and give vinegar or citric acid after vomiting has been 
produced.
