Typical features

 Phos. ac. is less poisonous than Phos. Our chief knowledge of it is derived from Hahnemann s provings in M. M. P. These show a marked action on the emotional and sensorial faculties, a drowsy, depressed, apathetic state being produced, such as is not unfrequently met with in typhoid fevers. The keynote of the Phos. ac. stupor is that the patient is easily aroused and then is fully conscious. Indifference; prostrated and stupefied with grief; effects of disappointed love. Home-sick. The mind is confused; thoughts cannot be connected; thinking makes him dizzy. The legs tremble in walking and the limbs are as difficult to control as the thoughts. Many symptoms of vertigo are produced, and one is peculiar. Phos. has a sensation as if the chair he was sitting on was rising; Phos. ac. has this: Sensation as if the feet were rising until he stood on his head. This very symptom occurred in a patient of Skinner s suffering from small-pox. The disease had been cut short by Variol., when the patient, a lady, complained that her feet were rising to the ceiling, and begged her nurses to keep them down. Phos. ac. speedily put her straight. Phos. ac. causes illusions of the senses as well as of the sensorium, bells are heard, ciphers, sparks, &c., are seen. At the same time there is exalted sensitiveness to light, sound, and odours; odours take away his breath. A remarkable effect was noted by вecher, one of Hahnemann s provers (the same who experienced the topsy-turvy symptom just mentioned), namely, that the right pupil became widely dilate while the left remained normal: the more he strained the eye the wider the pupil became until the iris almost disappeared. Franz had this symptom Sees things lying near him (outside the sphere of vision) moving. Meyer had a somewhat analogous mental symptom: When reading a thousand other thoughts came into his head, and he could not rightly comprehend anything; what he read became as if dark in his head, and he immediately forgot all; what he had long known he could only recall with difficulty. Such states of mind and the senses are frequently observed in those under the influence of grief and other depressing emotions; from over-study; and in the subjects of venereal excesses and seminal loss. вut whilst these losses produce extreme weakness of mind and body, and an abashed, sad state of mind with despair of cure, there is one drain which does not debilitate-a diarrhoea. Persistent, painless, watery diarrhoea, often containing undigested particles of food, and which does not debilitate, is a keynote of Phos. ac. Another characteristic in connection with the debility of Phos. ac. is that though the weakness is very great the patient is rested by a short sleep. (Phos. also has by sleep, but not so markedly by a short sleep. The copious discharges of Phos. ac. appear in the sweat and urine. The keynote of the enuresis of Phos. ac. is that the child passes a great quantity of urine. The polyuria and dry mouth and throat give leading correspondences for Phos. ac. in diabetes; and when there is in addition a history of sexual excess, or of severe mental or emotional over-strain, the indications will be very clear. White, milky urine; and also white stools, are very characteristic of Phos. ac. The urine may be passed clear but turns milky at once, and is very offensive. If flatulence is to be regarded as an excretion that is another instance of the excess of Phos. ac. There is meteoristic distension and passing of flatus in large quantities; sometimes with odour of garlic. Meteoristic distension; rumbling or gurgling and noise as if there were water in abdomen, by walking. Hoarseness and nasal voice; dyspnoea; capillary bronchitis. The cough seems to be caused by tickling of a feather from middle of chest to larynx, low down in chest, about ensiform cartilage, pit of stomach; is walking. Sitting ; with Phos. ac. not: Phos. ac. follows Rhus; both have by movement). сina (bores fingers in nose). Pho. (Pho. has more dryness of tongue, more sensorial excitement and intolerance of noises or odours; if diarrhoea is present it is blood-streaked and looks like flesh water). Nit. s. d. (sensorial apathy); Arn. (more developed stupor); Op. (stertor; countenance deeper red, almost brownish red; Phos. ac. sunken hippocratic). Home-sickness, сaps. (Caps. has red cheeks). Lienteric diarrhoea, сhi. (Chi. exhausts rapidly; Phos. ac. not). Loss of seminal fluids, сhi. (Chi. acute; Phos. ac. chronic effects). Tuberculosis, Pho. (Phos. ac. better than Pho. when there is cough from tickling at ensiform cartilage, by lying down, вry., Gels., Sil. Neurosis in stump-after amputation, сepa. Masturbation when patient distressed by culpability of act, Dros., Staph. Sycosis, Thuj., Sabi. Escape of urine during cough, сaust., Nat. m., Puls. Nausea in throat, сupr., сycl., Pul., Stan. Feet as if in air, Passif.
