those belonging to Chamomilla, and judge of the distress and 
pain that will be caused to the sick in the abuse of this sub- 
stance in those cases in which it is not suitable, and when given 
in large doses.” 
Cuinican Opsgrvations.— Noack and Trinks: Chamo- 
milla is suitable to venous bilious constitutions and to the 
choleric temperament. It is suitable to an irritable condition of 
the nervous system and excessive sensitiveness to pain. All 
evil effects of moral emotions. The consequences of anger, 
jealousy, and vexation; especially when producing violent 
spasms of the chest and throat. Different affections of infants. 
The screaming of infants when lasting for hours, ete. Fainting 
and weaknesses of hysteric females. Catarrhal affections with 
or without fever. Inflammatory swelling and induration of 
the glands. Catarrhal fever. Fever brought on by teething. 
Diarrhea of infants. Angina tonsillaris. Gastric and bilious 
affections. Cramps in the calves of the legs, etc., ete. 
According to Hahnemann, a very small dose of Chamomilla 
seems very much to lessen the excessive sensitiveness to pain, 
and the effects it produces on the mind. For this reason, it 
relieves many of the morbid symptoms produced by excessive 
use of coffee and narcotic substances; and is, on the other 
hand, less beneficial to those who remain patient and composed 
under their sufferings. 
AntTIDoTEs.—Coffea. Ignatia. -Pulsatilla. Aconite, when 
Chamomilla produces dragging and drawing pain, relieved by 
movement. Coffea removes many of the unpleasant symptoms 
produced by Chamomilla, when the patient has not been in the 
habit of taking it. Chamomilla equally destroys the symptoms 
of Coffea ; but if the latter has been taken habitually, it is of 
no use, and also when the symptoms correspond to Nux 
Vomica.
