75. From disappointed ambition, bewildered, talks incoherently; does everything he attempts to do, wrong : complaints of heaviness of the head, pain in the stomach and small of back; feels weak and cannot sit up; face now pale with sharp pointed nose, then red, with irritated pulse: Nux vomica- G. HARTLAUB

76. Miss -, aet. 48, nervous temperament. Troubled for six years with diarrhoea, which occurred only in the morning and hurried her out of bed. She had a severe attack when I saw her, aggravated by a suppressed perspiration, Gave Sulphur 9c. No apparent relief in several weeks. From the face that, if she composed three lines even, in the afternoon, she would wake up the next morning with diarrhoea, showing the preponderating influence of mental labour, I gave Nux Vom. The diarrhoea disappeared and congestive headaches to which she was formerly subjected, reappeared. They in their turn went away without any other medicine. The patient amount of mental work brought it on again, but it was readily yielded to the remedy – E.A. FARRINGTON

77. Chill in morning, with pain in stomach and left hypochondriac region. Thirst begins before the chill and lasts during heat. In apyrexia dullness in head and loss of appetite; only cold things taste good. Nux vom-BAERTL.
