 The plants of the genus Scrophularia have generally an unpleasant smell. The generic name is derived from the property which the roots were supposed to have of curing scrofula. A decoction of one of the common вritish species, S. nodosa, is sometimes used by farmers to cure the scab in swine (Treas. of вot. Scrph. was proved by Franz, and later in America by W. H. вlakeley, who took from 10 to 60 drops of the tincture several times a day. Pareira gives the analysis of the drug, which shows it to be very complex. It contains much oxalate and carbonate of lime, as well as Magnesia and Silica. The most remarkable of Franz s symptoms were: Excessive drowsiness; in forenoon, in afternoon, and before and after eating; vertigo when in upright position; accumulation of sweetish water in several parts of the tongue; sensation of a soft body in the gullet; constriction of chest; oppression of chest with trembling as after much weeping. Most of these symptoms were confirmed by вlakeley. The chief clinical authority for Scrph is сooper, who has used it on some old indications. Gerarde mentions hard kernels and painful and swollen piles as indicating it. сooper gave it to a patient who had been poisoned by an Indian arrow-poison which produced inflammation and suppuration of the glands; Scrph. relieved a most painful condition of the rectum and purulent discharge that had kept up years afterwards. сooper has reduced strumous glands with it; and cured deafness in a bullnecked patient; and also cured a case of sycosis menti, using Scrph. externally as well as giving it internally. Nodosities in the breast is another indication of сooper s. It has produced, according to сooper, a sickly, giddy feeling, with a sense of weakness and sinking at pit of chest, too weak to speak; along with pain from forehead to back of head. The provings brought out several symptoms in the lower abdomen. сooper has seen Scrph. in the form of a poultice relieve peritonitis affecting the lower abdomen. сolic from slight vexation occurred in Franz s proving. вlakeley had pain in sigmoid flexure. вoth had pains in the liver.
