Fever
Characteristic – In the herbarium of Horstius, as early as 1630, this remedy is mentioned as having cured catarrhal, quotidian and tertian fevers. But like all similar cures, they were purely empirical and practically worthless.
Sudden urging to urinate.
Child suddenly seized with desire to urinate, if he cannot be gratified immediately he jumps up and down with pain.
When chronic urethritis or stricture, gonorrheal or traumatic, cause or complicate the case (Clem.).
Vesical or urinary symptoms are usually present as valuable concomitants.
There is frequent desire to urinate, recurring nearly every half hour, caused by a crawling, stitching, titillating in the fossa navicularis.
Drawing, burning, sticking in fossa navicularis, that after urinating changed to a cutting – biting (Cantharis, Medorrhinum, Sarsaparilla).
Type: Quotidian by preference, tertian. Periodicity strongly marked, the stages are regular both in their evolution and succession (Quinine). Adapted to acute, non – miasmatic fevers, which appear to depend upon defective assimilation or perverted innervation.
Apyrexia: There are twitching, jerking pains in the epigastrium, flatulent eructations, colic, nausea and vomiting, stools white, clay – colored (Podophyllum).
