Keynotes

Characteristics

Clarke

This is an unproved remedy, but it has irritant properties like the other

Ranunculacec. Hansen gives as indications: "Pemphigus; bull¢ are surrounded by a ring, much

itching. On the third day they are transformed into crusts." Cooper has used it with excellent

effect in a case of uterine cancer, giving single doses of the R tincture at long intervals.
