General symptoms

They were followed by semi-lateral neuralgic lesions, especially on the head. In moderate doses, it causes an appetite, or rather a very imperious desire to eat. Slight alterations in calorification and sensibility; thus, when not exposed to any chilling influence, certain parts of my body felt burning hot, while other parts seemed more or less cold. This cold feeling was peculiar; it seemed as if a large or small sponge filled with water, more or less cold, passed here and there over the surface of my body, and the succeeding sensation of heat was a good deal like the cutaneous reaction after cold bath. A dose or two developed these symptoms in a slight degree, but after continuing the proving for several days, they became more striking.
