Characteristics
The few symptoms of the Schema were provided by Pane (eclectic), whom Hale quotes. Paine used *Pop. t. in affections of the bladder, urethra, and prostate. Hale confirms its action in vesical tenesmus and inflammation of the neck of the bladder. He gives this case: A lady had metritis, vaginismus, and cystitis, and was apparently cured. A ride on the cars brought back: Weight, pressure, and aching in pelvis and vesical tenesmus with frequent desire to urinate. *Pop. p. 3x removed all these symptoms in three days. In the cases cured by Hale he says there was little pain *during urination, but as soon as the last drops were voided, or a little before, a severe cramp-like pain just behind pubes lasting ten to fifteen minutes.
