Keynotes

Characteristics

Clarke

Fucus 1s a tissue-remedy of great power and must be compared with Iodine, of

which it contains a large proportion. The symptoms have been obtained from patients taking the

medicine for the reduction of obesity. The rapidity of digestion is increased and flatulency

diminished. Goitre has been cured with it in teaspoonful doses of the tincture given two or three

times a day.

Stomach

Symptoms — Stomach

Clarke

Stomach acts with more rapidity, and the hour of repast is more impatiently

looked for.—The act of digestion is no longer accompanied by flushings of the face, fulness,

weight in epigastric region and fits of heat towards head.
