• ▸Mr.

• ▸Meredith ("Agricola") communicated to the Hom.

experience with this shrub. Symptoms produced on himself were: Congestion of fore part of

right jaw (later both jaws) stiff and painful at joint. Sciatica left side. Appetite increased, more

distressing symptom which had troubled him many months, and which the ordinary Bapt. tinct.

hypochondrium oppression, fulness and actual dyspnoea, impelling me to assume an erect

sleep. A case simulating typhoid was rapidly relieved by the remedy—showing its relation to

Bapt. tinct.
