Macrotinum

 Macrotyn. Resinoid of Actaea racemosa. Trituration.

 Dysmenorrhoea. Eyes, affections of. Headache. Lumbago. Melancholy. Myalgia. Rheumatism.

 I have already mentioned Macrot. under Act. right, from which it is derived; but as Doctor Scipio s proving (with the 3rd trit., from 9 to 24 grains being taken daily) brought out some features not noted in the Act. right proving, I think it best to give it an independent mention. Muscular weakness, excessive restlessness, by moving about in spite of the weakness; melancholy, and irritable; dulness of intellect-these were prominent general features. вut the most important distinctive feature is of symptoms (other than dysmenorrhoea, pains) by onset of menses. с. A. Howell (Med. Adv., xxi. 231) cured with Macr. 2x, every two hours, a woman, 63, who, after an interval of eleven years, began again to menstruate at 60, slightly but regularly, and who had the following symptoms, which appeared suddenly at the time the flow was due, but failed to come on: Intense pain at occiput as soon as flow sets in.
