moving from place to place. Lameness, staggering, trembling. Spasms, colic, vomiting, and

  • diarrhoea.
  • Annoying twitching.
  • General debility.
  • Chafing of skin about genitals and behind ears
  • of children.
  • Skin itching, dry, cracked; rhagades; itch.
  • Jaundice.

  • > From steam or hot water.
  • > Lying down.
