Viola Tricolor

The Pansy was proved by Hahnemann and his provers. It had an ancient

reputation in asthma and epilepsy, and especially in obstinate skin diseases. Teste quotes from

• ▸old observers (Starck, Haase, Murray, &c.
• ▸) the following as cured by /.
• ▸tvi.
• ▸: (7) Milk-crust in

children at the breast, [or] recently weaned. (2) Milk-crust with violent cough and excessive

oppression. (3) Impetigo of hairy scalp and face in children and adult females. (4) Favus and

serpiginous crusts in children and adults, with swelling and induration of cervical glands. (5)

Large boils all over body in a scrofulous child. (6) Pustules and ichorous exanthema of feet. (7)

Squamous spots on skin. (8) Rheumatism and gout; articular rheumatism with itch-like eruption

round the joints. (9) Impetigenous exanthema on forehead. (/0) Ichorous ulcers with violent

itching. In Russia a decoction of Pansy is a popular remedy for scrofula; and Schlegel, of

Moscow, used it with good effect in syphilitic affections, especially venereal ulcers. Teste (from

• ▸whom I take all the above) puts V.
• ▸tvi.
• ▸in two groups, whose types are Lyc.
• ▸and Cham.

• ▸Homceopathy has brought out some characteristics of V.
• ▸tri.
• ▸which single out its cases.
• ▸One of

these is concomitance of urinary symptoms with skin affections: Tinea capitis with frequent

involuntary urination. Eczema with urinary disturbances; too copious urination; or sudden arrest

of secretion. "Urine smelling like cat's urine" is a keynote. The male sexual organs were much

excited. Emissions with vivid dreams occurred; swelling, itching, and pains in prepuce and glans,

with erections. Peculiar Symptoms are: Face hot and sweating after eating. Dyspnoea after eating.

Hands twitch and are clenched in sleep. Nervous paroxysms followed suppressed milk-crust. The

axillze and clavicular regions were noticeably affected; and stitches and burning stitches were

prevailing pains. The symptoms are: < By pressure on side opposite to painful side. < Lying on

unpainful side. Lying = anxiety about heart. Raising head =, and stooping >, heaviness in head.
