Trillium Pendulum

The chief uses of 7ri//. come to us from the eclectics, who learned some of

them from the native Indians. The popular name Birth-root sufficiently indicates one part of its

reputation. In hemorrhage, ante-partum, post-partum, and climacteric, in fibroid tumours, and in

hemorrhages of all kinds 7ri//. has been found curative. Both the White and the Purple varieties

• ▸have been used.
• ▸Minton's proving of 7.
• ▸cernuum (?
• ▸) brought out the hemorrhagic property in the

blood-tinged diarrhoea. One characteristic in connection with the hemorrhages of Trill. is

faintness and sinking at the stomach; also cold extremities and rapid, feeble pulse. "Flooding

with fainting" is a keynote. Minton's proving brought out a symptom bearing on this "Sensation

• ▸of goneness in abdomen.
• ▸" He had also extreme debility palpitation, and anxiety.
• ▸7vil/.
• ▸has been

used as a local haemostatic in epistaxis and for bleeding after tooth extraction. Peculiar

Sensations are: As if eyes too large (M). As if a crumb were in larynx (M). As if the chest was

tightly bound and could not be expanded. As if hips and small of back were falling to pieces. As

if sacro-iliac synchondroses were falling apart; wants to he bound tightly. As if bones were

broken. Left side most affected. Restless, tossing agitation, fear of being sick, great anguish were

experienced by Minton. The restlessness and exhaustion from hemorrhages are typified in this.

Blue vision; and craving for ice-water are other noteworthy symptoms. There is tendency to

putrescence of fluids. The hemorrhages of 77i//. are copious; either active or passive; usually

bright red and profuse. 77ill. is suited to women who flood after every labour; flabby subjects.
