 Hahnemann made a separate proving of Merc. ac., which has furnished a few symptoms, not greatly differing from those of Merc. The throat lancinations were. Hahnemann has bracketed a symptom referring to the menses which came on at the new moon, four days before their proper time. The medicines whose action is influenced by the moon s phases are not numerous, and this is worth remembering. Pressure in lower sternum and dyspnoea on standing erect is a noteworthy symptom. Margins of ulcers become painful. Hansen says that burning in the urethra during urination and at other times has been confirmed in practice; and that Donner of Stuttgart has cured with it a very painful syphilitic ulcer in urethra. Hansen commends it in tinea favosa on a syphilitic base; and for lancinating pains in tabes syphilitica.
