Pain in the region of the gall bladder. Great pain in the region of the liver, rending, tearing pains in the liver, jaundice is associated with these symptoms at times.
Abdomen: In the abdomen we have a group of symptoms; violent abdominal pains, burning, great distension; there appears to be an increasing distension as if by a screw, gradually forcing down upon something gradually increasing the tension.
We find this state in the tympanitic condition of typhoid fever, we find it in cases of flatulence, we find it in summer diarrheas.
It will be associated with gastric symptoms and the white tongue, especially if such disturbance had been brought on by drinking sour wine, by taking a cold bath, in one who has a gouty constitution, where the nodules in the finger joints become painless and the stomach and bowels become distended and painful.
Diarrhea: This remedy has a nondescript diarrhea, but also a lumpy and liquid diarrhea.
Diarrhea from sour wine. It seems to take a long time to empty the bowels. He hurries to stool and passes a little lump and some liquid, and is soon hurried again to stool and more lumps and liquid are passed, and this goes on in summer diarrheas until finally the bowel is emptied and then there is great tenesmus.
It is a diarrhea ending in dysentery; inflammation of the rectum and colon, with suffering, much tenesmus, prolonged efforts and great exhaustion.
Troublesome hemorrhoids in old gouty constitutions. They are always sore and inflamed from a cold, wet day, from cold bathing and, are always worse if he is foolish enough to drink sour wine or take sour food.
The stomach, bowel, rectum and hemorrhoidal complaints are all worse from disordering the stomach with sour wine, sour fruit or indigestible substances from cold bathing and wet weather.
Female: The pelvic viscera become greatly relaxed, especially in women, so much so that there is a dragging down in the pelvis.
It seems as though the contents of the pelvis would be expelled, or would fall out. There is prolapsus of the uterus and a discharge resembling leucorrhoea.
Disturbances of various kinds at the menstrual period.
Irritable and painful ovaries, such as we find associated with hysterical girls; those who suffer from unrequited affections; dreamers.
Sweat: This medicine produces sweating; copious, exhaustive sweats, night sweats, such as we find in lingering diseases.
Sweats from the slightest exertion. If he becomes slightly overheated he fairly boils with perspiration and then takes cold.
Skin: The skin is ulcerated and has a tendency to grow warts, callosities, bad nails and bad hair.
Hard, horny excrescences grow under the nail and are extremely painful. From the ends of the fingers little horn-like excrescences appear.
The slightest pressure will produce a callosity, or a sore place, and in working men you will find an unusual tendency to thickening of the skin on the soles of the feet.
They are very sore to walk upon, because these callous places are sensitive and have numerous centres of little corns. The tendency to build up and indurate belongs to the remedy.
Warts grow upon the hands. The hair is unhealthy. Pustules form upon the skin with red areola.
Pustular eruptions have an inflamed base that is red, and sensitive.
Now, if you will study the proving and get the particulars of the remedy, and fit them into this framework, you will understand something of Antim crud.
