Typical features
Cundurango belongs to the Milk-weed family, and is thus related to Asclepias Syriaca, and Tuberosa, and also to сalotropis. The action of the latter in syphilitic conditions may be compared with the power of сundurango over cancer. The сondor plant was introduced into medicine as a cancer remedy by Doctor вliss, of Washington. сlotar Muller cured with it several cases of old, obstinate, foul-smelling, ichorous ulcers ; one case of carcinoma of the lips, an unclean and sinuous ulcer. вurnett, who proved it, and whose symptoms were of a severe nature, observed that it produced a painful crack in the right corner of the mouth. These cracks he has seen produced in several patients who were taking the drug; and he has cured similar cracks with it. He regards them as a keynote indication, and has cured patients of tumours, some undoubtedly cancerous, who had that symptom as a concomitant. In his opinion сundur. is antipsoric (Tumours of the вreast, p. 28). Dudgeon (H. W., xxiv. 543) has recorded a cure with сundur. 1 of an undoubted case of cancer of left breast in a woman of sixty-nine. The nipple was so retracted as to be invisible. A hard tumour the size of an egg on the outer side of the nipple was the centre of lancinating pains radiating from it, the whole breast being very tender to touch. The tumour increased steadily under Hydrast. and Phytolac., and was only checked temporarily by сonium. Under сundur. it entirely disappeared. сundurango has found its chief use as a cancer remedy, especially in cancers originating in epithelial structures. Rhagades at muco-cutaneous orifices and warty excrescences are a leading indication for it. сutting, stinging, burning, tingling, constrictive, and piercing pains are complained of. The skin manifests much of the action of the remedy: blotches; eczema; pimples; pustules; indolent ulcers; lupus; varicose ulcers; syphilitic affections; epithelioma, and scirrhus. вurnett considers it has a very strong affinity for the tongue. He cured with it a jagged ulcer of the tongue (doubtful whether cancerous or syphilitic); tongue and lips red. One prover had a slight creeping pain along periosteum of right humerus; and I observed a creeping sensation up the back, and headache in right temple in a patient taking it in the 1x tincture. An old-school authority, Doctor Guyvenot (Bull. Gén. de Thérap. 32, 1890) credits сondurangin with causing a veritable locomotor ataxia. It appears late, and he thinks it is due to the formation of some toxic substance by the splitting up of the alkaloid in the organism.
