Typical features
The Pine agaric, Pol. pin., like the Larch agaric, Polyporus officinalis (described in this work as вoletus Laricis, its older and less correct name), was proved by Doctor вurt. The symptoms of the two have a very close resemblance, and many are common to both. Despondency; aching distress in many parts; stiffness of back; of fingers; enlarged tonsils with dysphagia and constant inclination to swallow; neuralgic pains in head, face, and temples; pain in liver and spleen with diarrhoea or constipation and piles-these are the chief features of the proving. Hale says it is a remedy for ague in the Middle and Southern States, taken during the intermission macerated in whisky. Quotidian fevers, he says, are most suited to it. The symptoms are by rest.
