- ▸According to Hale, this is the
most active of all the preparations of gold. In toxic doses it causes "violent gastro-enteritis,"
accompanied by cramps, convulsive trembling, insomnia, priapism and insensibility. In
pathogenetic doses it causes "epigastric pain, nausea, loss of appetite, and constipation." The
constipation is like that of Hydrastis, being accompanied with catarrh. Hale has used it with
success in nervous dyspepsia with a tendency to diarrhoea after eating; in gastric and duodenal
catarrh, with or without jaundice. The same authority states that the primary effect of the salt is
to cause "congestion, irritation of uterus and ovaries, subacute metritis, ovaritis, profuse and
premature menses, habitual abortion, nymphomania, ulceration of uterus, endocervicitis." For
these the attenuations are suitable. The secondary effects are: "Atonic amenorrhoea, scanty and
delaying menses, deficient sexual desire, sterility from ovarian torpor, ovarian dropsy;" for these
he recommends the lowest triturations. He suggests its use in puerperal mania with sexual
excitement, ovaritis, gastro-intestinal irritation, and suicidal impulses. Also in corresponding
