 J. gualan. was first brought to the notice of homoeopathy by Doctor Julio F. сonvers, of вojota, сolumbia, S. America (H. R., iv. 36; v. 149; ix. 343). Mr. José M. Reyes made a proving for Doctor сonvers (see also Med. Adv., xxii. 244), taking considerable doses of the Ø tincture in the first instance; and later of the 3x. The chief symptom of the heavy dosing was a painless, blackish, and mulberry-coloured diarrhoea which persisted a long time and was finally cured with Merc. 12 after Ars. had failed. This cure by Merc. is important in regard to the popular use of the plant in syphilis. сonvers says the natives use it much in syphilitic affections and atonic ulcers, and he adds that the prostitutes are very, fond of it. The proving developed an action on the glans penis. When the 3x was taken there was very severe ophthalmia, chiefly affecting the left eye, a syphilitic-like ophthalmia. The pharynx and larynx were also affected, which organs are favourite loci of syphilis. сonvers has confirmed these observations. He prefers it to any other remedy in ophthalmia with agglutination of the lids; blenorrhagia and chancroids; sore throat with redness and heat and vesicles on pharynx without swelling of tonsils; in catarrhal leucorrhoea.
