STRAMONIUM-DATURA STRAMONIUM

NASH gives a case of acute mania, cured with Stramonium,. “A lady about 30, overheated in the sun, on an excursion. A member of a Presbyterian church, but she imagined herself lost, and called me in six mornings in succession to see her die. Lost, lost, lost, eternally lost, was her theme, begging minister, doctor, everybody, to pray for and with her. Talked day and night about it. I had to shut her up in her room alone for she would not sleep a wink or let anyone else.

“She imagined her head was as big as a bushel, and had me examine her legs, which she insisted were as large as a church. After treating her for several weeks with Gloninum, Lachesis, Nat. carb. and other remedies on the cause as the basis of the prescription, without the least amelioration of her condition, I gave her Stramonium, which covered her symptoms, and in twenty- four hours every vestige of that mania was gone. She was to have been sent to the Utica Asylum.” (Nash gave her the sixth potency.).
