Typical features

 Nickel is found associated with сobalt. It is said to have received its name (Nickel, the devil) from the miners, who considered it false ore as they were mining for copper. The word сobalt (Kobold) has possibly a similar derivation. Nickel forms the chief ingredient in the alloy known as German silver. It was proved by Nenning, and the pathogenesis contains some striking symptoms, many of which have been confirmed. Sir James Y. Simpson used the Sulphate of Nickel (NiSO4) in periodic headaches of a very severe character, and the provings show that the metal and the carbonate are equally appropriate in this connection. H. Moser (Am. H., xxiii. 61) has cured cases when the pain is: roughness of throat. Heaviness of hands and feet are by motion. In open air. сold pain in face. Washing burning of eyes. сold water = redness of eyes. Most symptoms are after eating. Must sit up and hold the head with both hands when coughing: or has to put arms on thighs when coughing.
