Sanicula Aqua

The water of Sanicula spring is without odour or colour, and has an agreeable

• ▸and slightly alkaline taste.
• ▸It was proved by J.
• ▸G.
• ▸Gundlach, who, with his family, drank it for

• ▸more than a year.
• ▸Writing in H.
• ▸P.
• ▸, September, 1890, Gundlach says: Though some five years

since the proving was made, we all (that is, my family) still suffer from the effects, and I fear

never will fully get over them, as nearly all the symptoms still recur." Sherbino proved Sanic. in

the potencies, and a large number of the symptoms of both provings have been confirmed. We

have in Sanic. one of the best-proved remedies of the materia medica, a polychrest and antipsoric

• ▸of wide range.
• ▸My Schema is taken from the arrangement of Frank W.
• ▸Patch in Med.
• ▸Adv.
• ▸,

• ▸xxvill.
• ▸161.
• ▸Brackets indicate cured symptoms.
• ▸The cachexia of Sanic.
• ▸is its most pronounced

feature—weakness, emaciation, itching, ill-nourished skin, pimply face, "dirty, greasy, and

brownish" appearance of body, scrofulous ophthalmia and scrofulous eruptions, cold, clammy

hands and feet, foul-smelling foot-sweat, profuse sweat of back of head and neck, hair dry and

lustreless, thick dandriff on scalp and eyebrows, slow digestion, constipation, or else diarrhea,

stools turning green, pot-bellied, rickety children. On the other hand, when taken by a pregnant

woman, Sanic. has caused premature closing of sutures and fontanelles prior to birth. The mental

state of the Sanic. cachexia is characterised by lack of energy, with no stability of purpose;

jumping from one work to another, never finishing anything. There is also much depression, with

sense of impending misfortune. Children are stubborn, wilful, get angry and throw themselves

• ▸backward.
• ▸Digestion is slow.
• ▸Children vomit milk or thick curds soon after nursing.
• ▸The menses

are irregular, delayed, scanty, and attended with pain. Nervous sensibility is exaggerated, and

there is general and local intolerance on least jar. This has led to its successful use in train-

sickness and sea-sickness. The low vitality of Sanic. is evidenced in the cold clamminess of other

• ▸parts besides hands and feet.
• ▸Sherbino [/.
• ▸of Hcs.
• ▸(Hitchcock's), ii.
• ▸147] relates this case: Mr.
• ▸F.

had neuralgia of coccyx, sacrum, and lumbar region, < by any movement, turning in bed, rising

from chair, stooping; > keeping still. Parts sore to touch. Cold sensation in lumbar and sacral

• ▸regions as if there were a cold cloth there.
• ▸Feet cold and clammy.
• ▸Sanic.
• ▸10m cured after other

remedies failed. The foot-sweat occurs between the toes, making them sore, as well as on the

soles, which are as if one had stepped in cold water On the other hand, there may be "burning of

the soles, must uncover or put them in a cool place," and "child kicks off clothing even in coldest

• ▸weather.
• ▸" The odours of Sanic.
• ▸are characteristic.
• ▸The stool has an odour of rotten cheese, and no

amount of washing will get rid of it. The flatus has the same odour. Vaginal discharges and

condylomata of penis have an odour of fish brine. This has led to a number of cures. The

digestive tract is greatly disordered by Sanic. Food has a long after-taste; turns sour. Children

vomit milk looking like "Schmierkase." Appetite is increased—hungry before meals—or

disordered. Craves salt; craves fat bacon, which <. Eating = desire for stool; must leave the table.

Great thirst; drinks little and often; vomits as soon as it reaches the stomach. Incontinence of

• ▸urine and feces.
• ▸Urging from flatus, must cross legs to prevent feeces escaping.
• ▸Sanic.
• ▸is as great

a remedy in constipation as in diarrhoea. There is no desire for stool till a long accumulation has

occurred. After great straining stool partially expelled recedes. Large evacuation of small, dry,

grey balls, which have to be removed mechanically. Stool square, as if carved with a knife. The

diarrhoea is changeable in character and colour: Like scrambled eggs; frothy, grass-green; turns

green on standing; like scum of frog-pond. There is excoriation of skin about anus, perinzeum,

and genitals. As well as weakness of rectum and bladder, there is uterine weakness and bearing

down as if contents of pelvis would escape; must place hand to vulva to prevent it. Walking,

• ▸misstep, or jar < this, and also soreness of the uterus.
• ▸Sherbino (MZ.
• ▸A.
• ▸, xxvi.
• ▸133) relates the case

• ▸of Mrs.
• ▸X.
• ▸, who had been in poor health a number of years.
• ▸Tall, aneemic.
• ▸Has to urinate too

often and too profusely, rises several times in night. Urine clear, pale. Has leucorrheea, profuse,

changeable in colour, at times milky, then yellow, < during stool. Weak and prostrated, rumbling

in bowels before meals, > after eating and when stomach is full. Hands cold, clammy; also feet,

< in cold weather; stockings always damp. Two doses of Sanic., 10m and then 50m, cured all the

• ▸trouble.
• ▸H.
• ▸C.
• ▸Morrow regards Sanic.
• ▸as the chronic of Cham.
• ▸(H.
• ▸R.
• ▸, 1x.
• ▸253).
• ▸He records the

case of a baby who had been ill through a summer with diarrhoea. Morrow cured it with Sanic.

50m (F.), a peculiar symptom in the case being that the boy wanted to lie on something hard,

thin as he was. Morrow had himself suffered since a boy from effects of suppressed itch. Among

his symptoms were—"felt as if he had on cold, damp stockings," and "sweat about the head and

• ▸neck when asleep, wetting the pillow far around.
• ▸" Calc.
• ▸gave no relief.
• ▸Sherbino advised Sanic.
• ▸,

and after taking it Morrow was in better health than he had been for twenty years. Morrow also

• ▸relates these cases (M.
• ▸A.
• ▸, xxiv.
• ▸47): (/) A lady was constipated a year.
• ▸Had to strain very hard to

expel the stool; at times fzeces so large, hard, and dry, she was compelled to pick it out with the

• ▸fingers.
• ▸Sanic.
• ▸relieved.
• ▸(2) A fig-wart on glans penis, with a discharge from its surface which

• ▸smelled like fish brine.
• ▸Sanic.
• ▸cured.
• ▸Gundlach relates (M.
• ▸A.
• ▸, xxvi.
• ▸97) these cases: (/) Mrs.
• ▸K.

felt an attack of fever impending. Sad and despondent. Had fever the previous night with

headache, but no thirst. Mouth dry, tongue coated, bad breath inside lips and cheeks many little

aphthous ulcers; no appetite bowels constipated; tired, numb, lame feeling in all limbs; chilly,

• ▸craves warmth, yet head feels better in open air.
• ▸Sanic.
• ▸10m, every three hours, cured.
• ▸(2) Mr.
• ▸C.

complained that the roof of his mouth felt scalded, < taking anything warm in mouth, especially

hot drink. Smokers have this kind of sore mouth, but patient was not a smoker. Gundlach

remembered his own similar symptoms of the proving, and gave Sanic. 10m, which promptly

removed the condition. (Sanic. causes a burning of the tongue so intense that it must be put out to

cool: here again is the "< by warmth" of the mouth). (3) Gundlach's horse was out of health,

would not eat, bowels constipated, stools dark and scant. Tired, rubbed his tail at every

opportunity till nearly all the hair was rubbed off. A veterinarian diagnosed "lampers," and said

the gums would be found swollen and sore, and would need scarifying. The gums were found

sore and swollen, mouth slimy, tongue coated. Sanic. 10m was given thrice daily, and no

• ▸scarifying was needed.
• ▸He was well in a few days.
• ▸Sherbino (/.

Sanic. 10m and 50m these symptoms in a man suffering from the after-effects of influenza and

much drugging: Soreness through stomach and liver region. Liver enlarged, great tenderness to

muscles of neck, shoulders, and upper back, pain constant, but made sharp by attempts to put her

hands to her head or behind her. Could not look round without turning whole body. < From cold
