 Nusser proved both the Garden Radish and the Wild Radish (the former probably only a cultivated variety of the latter), and of the Garden Radish he took tinctures of the long, round, and black (the favourite in Germany) varieties, and ate the different radishes themselves. The Schema contains his symptoms, with others from effects of eating radishes; and provings by сurie made on a woman with 15th and 30th dilutions. These provings developed many symptoms which have proved to be characteristics. Rap. affords a marked example of a common article of diet being at the same time a poison and a medicine. A patient of mine, a man, has these symptoms whenever he eats even a single radish: Burning sensation in epigastrium, followed by hot eructations, lasting a whole day and ending in a headache. Turnips (Brassica rapa) produce in him a similar effect, but in less degree. The leaves of Rap. are said to antidote its roots, and the arum root is said to antidote the effects of Radish leaves (Cooper). The hysterical, mental, and uterine symptoms of сurie s prover were very well marked; a state approaching catalepsy was induced On returning a little to herself she was unable to speak or stir. The globus symptoms are as marked as with any other remedy: A number of balls ascend from abdomen to throat. A hot, foreign body goes up like a ball from uterus and stops at the beginning of the throat, where it feels like a morsel too large to be swallowed, thence descends to the stomach, causing a sensation of something hard to digest, leaving an empty sensation with hunger. Many of the symptoms of Rap. seem to make for the throat, and a case of mine bears on this. A man, 43, after taking Lyc. reported this condition: Good deal of pain in back, sides, and body,.
