Triosteum Perfoliatum

7riost. is an energetically acting drug, and has been proved by Williamson,

Neidhard, Gatchell, and; other experienced provers. The name "fever-wort" tells its traditional

reputation. Hale says it is one of the ingredients of the "fever powder" of the eclectics. Talmadge,

one of the provers, found it of great value in typhoid and gastric fevers. It produced acute

rheumatic symptoms and an intense urticaria. Talmadge says of the effect on himself: "It acted

promptly and emphatically, causing aching pains in nearly every part of the body, especially of

lower limbs and head." The right side of the head was more affected than the left. The stomach

was very much disordered. The vomiting and pain in the stomach were very severe. At the anus

there was itching and exudation of mucus. A peculiar concomitant of the evacuations was:

numbness of the lower limbs after stool. Many symptoms came on in the early morning hours.
