FERRUM

by

Ferrum is a remedy for epistaxis when occurring in anaemic subjects with rush of blood to the head; it comes on most usually after rising.

In the fever for which it is suitable there are during the chill thirst, icy cold feet and red face (ign.); relief is obtained from eating. The patient feels worse during the sweat, which is copious and stains the linen yellow (graph). In all stages he is better from slowly moving about. Ferrum is an antidote for many of the complaints brought on from overdosing with quinine (puls) and from the immoderate use of tea (chin., selen., thuja).

Locally iron has been used as a styptic in the form of the perchloride. It acts by the formation of a plug of albuminate of iron which blocks the mouths of the patent vessels. Care should be taken that clot is removed and the oozing orifices exposed or the plug will not be formed in the right place. It is not a styptic much in use now. The sulphate of iron is sometimes used in massive doses as an astringent in diarrhoeas and dysentery.
