Introduction
Geranium maculatum, Linn.

Preparation, Tincture and triturations of the root.
Head.
Slight pain in the occipital, low down.

Fulness of the eyes.
Mouth.
Dryness of the mouth, extending outward on the lips to the cuticle proper, and also well off, followed by pain in the left side of the forehead, and in the left side of the head directly over the ear. Tip of the tongue dry and burning.
Rectum and Anus.
The most marked symptom noticed was a constant desire to go to stool; this symptom attended each attempt at proving Geranium; went to stool often, and each time found myself unable to pass the least fecal matter; one powder of the 2d would produce the continued desire for stool; this symptom continued for some time, and after the effects passed off, the bowels moved without pain or tenesmus; the stool natural and well lubricated; I should say, however, that one powder required hours for a passage.
