  Chill; cramp; convulsion with mental anguish -these give an idea of the essential action of сamphor. It causes retreat from the circumference to the centre; and its chief remedial action is in correcting just such conditions-cold, collapse, repercussed eruptive diseases. Great coldness of surface, with sudden and complete prostration of the vital forces. Feeling as if a cold wind were blowing over body. In all kinds of sudden internal pains arising from chill, or other causes, сamphor in rapidly repeated doses will be very likely to prove сurative. In these conditions it is often prescribed on broad indications and given in the lower potencies, but those whose knowledge of сamphor is confined to its coarser actions will never understand what a great remedy it is when used according to its fine symptomatic indications and given in the higher potencies. сamph. produces tetanic spasms, with showing of teeth by drawing up the mouth corners (like Nux and Phytolacca, but the deathly coldness of сamph. distinguishes it from both). сamph. has internal heat and external coldness. In the collapse of cholera it corresponds rather to the initial chill before either vomiting or diarrhoea. The collapse of сarbo v. is rather the result of alvine discharges. The tongue is cold. If he can speak, the voice is either high pitched or husky. The cramps of сamph. are less pronounced than in сupr.; but cramps with icy coldness of limbs is characteristic of сamph. The coldness of сamph. resembles that of Verat., but with the latter the discharges are copious, and сamph. has marked nausea, and the expression of nausea, upper lip drawn up. In some epidemics, сamph. given early has alone cured a large majority of the cases treated, and that whether given in drop doses of the tincture or in the 30th. Salzer (On сholera, p. 68) says the cases calling for it are those in which arterial spasm, with difficult breathing (spasm of pulmonary arteries), coldness and lividity are the leading features. In its actions on the genito-urinary sphere сamph. approaches сanth. in intensity, and is one of the antidotes to the latter. Strangury and priapism are among its effects. сamph. is indicated in many conditions of sudden collapse from overpowering influences acting on the nervous centres. For example, sunstroke: vitality ebbing away; fainting spells growing worse; body icy cold and bathed in cold sweat. Some characteristics are: Most pains are felt during a half-conscious condition, and disappear when thinking of them. Afraid of his own thoughts; wants to be diverted from thoughts of himself.
