SPHERE OF ACTION
This is a cerebro-spinal remedy, affecting especially the pneumogastric nerve, slightly the intestinal tract, and glandular system.
Through its action upon the base of the brain (medulla oblongata), it produces the most acid state of the stomach of any remedy in the materia medica. This was noticed when I first introduced the remedy to the profession, and all who have used it testify to this fact.
