Typical features

  This globular fungus, which, according to report, is eaten in, Italy before it is ripe, becomes filled, while ripening, with a blackish dust that breaks the husk which contains it, with a slight noise. сorresponding to this signature, bloatedness, puffy condition of body surface, and a sense of enlargement, flatulent distension and noisy passage of flatus, are leading features of the вovista pathogenesis. вovista has cured cases of ovarian cyst; and also warts and corns, with shooting pains. There are ebullitions with great thirst. The corners of the mouth are broken out. Numb, pithy feeling in mouth. There is stuttering and stammering speech. Awkwardness, misapplies words in speaking and writing. Relaxation of entire capillary system; haemorrhagic diathesis; haemorrhage from menstrual irregularities; from traumatism. Menstrual flow occurring only or chiefly at night. Haemorrhage between the periods. The puffy, expanding properties of the remedy are shown in a puffy condition of the body surface; instruments (e.g., scissors) indent the fingers in an unusual degree. The heart feels enormously large. вovista has colic like сoloc., causing the patient to bend double, but it differs from сoloc. in that the colic is by eating and is sometimes accompanied by voiding of red urine. M. L. Sircar has recorded a striking cure of such a case with вov. 3x, the pain being griping-twisting, intermittent, starting below umbilicus and diffusing itself towards epigastrium; some constipation; urine scanty and reddish. Nothing gave relief except eating. Itching at top of coccyx is another characteristic symptom. A case of cyst in broad ligament was cured, presenting these symptoms:-Metrorrhagia, flow at night or early morning, easily provoked from slight over-exertion during menses; can bear nothing tight round body; menses preceded and followed by diarrhoea; acrid corrosive leucorrhoea, flowing at night only, follows menses. We may always think of вovista when we see a very tettery person, one who has tetters here and there, all over the body. These tetters may be either moist or dry (Guernsey). Teste observed psoric eruptions appear on the hands and feet of a patient to whom he gave вov. for headache. He cured with it a red, crusty eruption on thighs and bends of knees of eighteen years duration. It disappeared for weeks, reappearing in hot weather and at the full moon. W. S. Gee cured with вovist. 4, after the failure of Rhus, the following case. A widow, 55, had an eruption, which she thought to be erysipelas, on right foot. Some years before she had had an eruption on left foot, which discharged much water, and was cured by the use of a salve. A few months later the left knee became affected and the limb was amputated above the joint. The present eruption was fiery red, covered with yellowish-brown scales, thick as an old-fashioned wafer. There were also rheumatic pains in the leg. After Rhus had been given without benefit, Doctor Gee elicited these additional symptoms: Occasional spells of short breathing, especially from working with the hands. Sleep disturbed by burning and itching, and also by anxious, frightful dreams; headache when waking from sleep. Frequent desire to urinate, even immediately after urinating. These symptoms being found under вovist. in addition to moist vesicular eruptions, with formation of thick crusts, the latter put in heavy type by Lilienthal, this medicine was given with steady improvement and eventual cure. Great weakness of the joints. Sensitive to touch, cannot bear clothing. Sensitive to draught, chilliness predominates. Early morning sweat hot food. colic; straightening up shooting pains between shoulders. вovista antidotes effects of charcoal fumes. Easily intoxicated;
