Characteristics EN
Hale mentions this remedy as having been highly commended to him in cases of spermatorrhoea with anaemia, debility, and depression. It has been since proved by Dr. Sarah N. Smith, of New York, who took the sixth dilution of Boericke and Tafel's make (Amer.
Hom., xxi. 302). It produced (in this order): Very distinct symptoms in the head and eyes; dry mouth and nose, relieved by coryza; a feeling that she might die; diarrhoea; burning in urethra when urinating; sticky, excoriating leucorrhoea weight and discomfort in uterus. The symptoms which made the most impression on the prover were the "dead, numb" feeling of the scalp; the unconscious moaning after stool; and the sticky, excoriating leucorrhoea. The heaviness and discomfort in the uterus was so severe that she declined to continue the proving as it interfered with her work.

As the excoriating stools decreased in frequency, a sticky mucus-like excoriating leucorrhoea came on; with the appearance of the discharge came the descent of the uterus, which continued for a week or more, and the discharge several days beyond.—"The uterus seems heavy and uncomfortable, so that it interferes with my work. I call scarcely get up and down stairs."
