M.D. Late Professor of Materia Medica in Hering College, Chicago. This medicine is a deep, long acting antipsoric, establishing a state of disorder in the economy that is so far reaching and so long lasting that it disturbs almost all the tissues of the body. From every little cold the glands become hard and. sore. The glands under the arm inflame and ulcerate. The glands in the neck, in the groin and abdomen become enlarged.
Ulcerated parts indurate.
An abscess of the breast becomes surrounded by lumps and nodules. Conium has been used extensively for malignant affections of glands, because it takes hold of glands from the beginning and infiltrates, and they gradually grows a stony hardness, like scirrhus. Now, another grand feature running through this remedy is the action upon the nerves. Trembling, jerking of the muscles and twitching from the weakness of the nerves. Inability to stand any physical effort without great exhaustion.
