      Confusion. Pressing and drawing here and there. Attacks of vertigo, as if the anterior half of the brain were turning in a circle. Cutting pains above right eye, extending to occiput. Pressure in the occiput (<) motion, with heaviness. (The headaches sometimes seem to alternate with the pains in the stomach.).

Clinical. Gastric catarrh, with terrible gastralgia, the pain extending from the stomach through the body to the spine.

A marked indication for Bismuth is that while taking cold drinks there is relief, yet when the stomach becomes full there is vomiting of enormous quantities.
