 Absinthium has been proved, but a number of the symptoms are taken from observations made on absinthe drinkers.

Halbert regards Absinth. as of especial service in cases of minor epilepsy, where consciousness is not entirely lost. The characteristic is a peculiar vertigo on rising, with a tendency to fall backward. In a case of epileptoid vertigo, signs of constant cerebral and spinal congestion; nausea and tendency to frequent vomiting, persistent tremors; epileptoid attacks of hysterical character and opisthotonos, Absinth. first in Ø, and later in 3, completely cured. Tremor is a marked feature of the remedy: tremor of tongue; of heart. Magnan, who has studied absinthism, says the characteristic symptoms of absinthe are: Sudden and severe giddiness, epileptiform seizures, delirium with hallucinations, and loss of consciousness. For some time after the attack there is loss of memory. The giddiness and epileptiform attacks are the most important of the symptoms. He adds that those who take absinthe are liable to hysterical manifestations.
