 Burt, who proved Ust. on himself and others, introduced the remedy to homoeopathy. It had been observed that pregnant animals feeding on maize affected with smut were very liable to abort. Roullin had noted that shedding of the hair, and sometimes of the teeth, occurred in animals and men; that mules fed on it cast their hoofs, and that fowls laid eggs without shells. The provings brought out a specific affinity for the generative sphere of both sexes, and especially for the left ovary and uterus. Ust. congests the uterus and produces haemorrhages, generally passive or in clots. It is in uterine haemorrhages, menstrual, post-partum and climacteric that Ust. has been most successfully employed. It has also relieved vicarious menstruation, bleeding taking place from the lungs and bowels; and bleeding between the periods with left inframammary pain. Hurndall (H. W., xxxvi. 27) relates the case of the small bitch which brings out many features of Ustilago action. About a fortnight before he saw the patient she had aborted five foetuses, at about the fifth week of gestation. Since then there had been passive haemorrhage of dark clots. Moreover, she was a perfect specimen of alopecia, not having a hair of any sort on her body and only a little about the head. Os uteri soft, spongy. Great tenderness about the posterior parts when manipulating the hind-quarters. Ust. 3x was prescribed, five drops three times a day. In two days the haemorrhage was completely arrested, tenderness reduced, spirits revived, and general health improved. At the end of three months there was a nice coat of hair growing, which in due course became perfectly normal. Loss of hair and nails is a keynote for Ust., and combined with the other symptoms made the correspondence perfect. Among the Peculiar Sensations are: As if head were being lifted off. As if forehead would burst open. As if something were under root of tongue pressing upward. As of a lump behind larynx. Excessively tired feeling. вearing down, as if everything would come from her. Uterus as if drawn into a knot. As if intestines were being tied in knots. This last symptom was produced in a patient of mine. The symptoms are: by constipated stool.
