 Onosmodium v., a member of an American branch of the вorage family closely resembling the вritish Onosma, was proved in material doses by W. E. Green, of Arkansas (H. M., June 1885). Its common name is False Gromwell ; the real Gromwell being another вorage, Lithospermum. The most remarkable feature of Green s striking proving is the want of power of concentration or co-ordination produced by the drug. This appears in inability to concentrate thought; to focus eyes; to co-ordinate muscles; to judge the height of impedimenta on stepping. It also appears in vertigo and sensations of numbness and general muscular prostration. Next to the paretic symptoms come neuralgic pains. These are mostly of a dull, heavy aching character, and affect cervical and spinal nerves and pelvic organs-eyes; occiput; eyes to occiput; sacrum-these are the chief centres of pain; throat, bowels, breasts, heart, and limbs being also affected, the left side of the body more than the right. Feeling of tension in the eyes, as from straining them to read small print, and desires to have things far off to look at them, show the paralysing effect on the internal eye muscles, and give one of the keynotes of the drug s action. Onos. has probably cured more cases of headache associated with eye-strain than any other remedy since it was proved. E. S. Norton published several illustrative cases (N. A. J. H., i. 792): (1) Miss с., 23, suffering three years from headache. Pain especially in occiput, which feels sore and stiff, often extending down spine, which was somewhat sensitive to touch. Dull, aching pain left side of head, occasionally with darting pain through eyes. Aching in eyes, stiff, strained feeling in them if she read more than a little, left worst. Headache when up and around. сonstant sexual irritation, accompanied by severe erections that were also by undressing and lying on the back. A leading symptom of Onos. is dryness: of nose; of mouth; of throat. With this there is a great thirst for cold water, which. Yingling had an interesting experience in the case of a woman to whom he gave Onos. for dryness of the nose and throat. Not only did it cure this, but it also restored the breasts, which were diminutive and almost absent, to their normal size. Yingling s results were obtained mostly from the c.m. attenuation; he had no results from the Ø, and not marked from 30. Soreness and stiffness are the frequent symptoms of Onos. In the occiput there is pressure upward; and the pains may go from the eye backward. With a laryngeal cough there is gluey expectoration. H. F. Ivens cured a case of headache of ten years duration, which illustrates the modality From cold drinks; from eating; from undressing and lying on back. The headache is an exception to this last, for it is From sleep, but only temporarily (headache).
