Antimonium Tartaricum ant-t.

Adapted to torpid, phlegmatic constitu- tions: the hydrogenoid (of Grauvogl).

Intermittents or other fevers from exposure in damp cel- lars or basements (Aran., Ars., Tereb.).

Child: clings to those around; wants to be carried; cries and whines if any one touches it; will not let you feel the pulse.

When patient coughs there appears to be a large collection of mucus in the bronchi, and it seems as if much would be ex- pectorated but nothing comes up.

Face cold, blue, pale, covered with cold sweat (Tab.).

Nausea, vomiting, want of appetite and constipation in in- termittents (Ant. c.).

Vomiting: in any position except lying on right side; until he faints; followed by drowsiness and prostration; of cholera morbus with diarrhœa and cold sweat, a dose after each attack (Ver.). heat, with somnolency and profuse sweat on forehead. Chill with external coldness, coming on at all times of the day, with somnolency; mostly with trembling and shaking. Chill lasting 45 minutes followed by vomiting, headache, heat and thirst; after drinking, retching.

Violent short heat succeeding a long chill, aggravated by every motion (feels chilly if he moves, Nux, Apis). Thirst not constant during the hot stage, but marked between heat and sweat. Heat long and severe with much sweat, intense thirst and delirium, sometimes occurs in tertian type.

Profuse all over; may last all night; follows long after, in the afternoon during the sleep, or profuse sweat the following night, with increased secretion of urine. Affected parts sweat profusely (Amb.). Sweat often, cold, clammy, sticky; $<$ by sweating, but rather better after (Ipec.).

Characteristic, red edges, or red and white in alternate streaks; papillæ red and raised as in scarlatina; tongue bright red and dry in the centre, covered with a thick, white, pasty fur. Food tasteless; tobacco has no taste. Craving desire for apples; acids (desire for juicy fruits, Ver.).

Much accelerated by slightest motion; strong and full during chill; feeble, slow and very weak as the heat passes off.

The gastric, rheumatic, soporous character of the intermittents of Antimonium tart. will not fail to call our attention to this polychrest. In spring and autumn, especially with children, fevers are prone to take on a remitting type, attended with nausea, vomiting and drowsiness. Gastric symptoms are very pronounced, as in Antimonium crud. Nausea and vomiting may be present; if so, it is very prostrating. Weakness and exhaustion, with great depression of spirits. Weariness and lassitude with no appetite.

Working or living in basements or damp under-ground rooms (Ars., Aran.).

During paroxysm, cannot keep his eyes open; irresistible sleepiness and deep, stupefied sleep; when awake, hopelessness and despair.

Violent but not long lasting heat succeeding a long chill, aggravated by every motion.

Long-lasting heat, after a short chill, with somnolency and sweat on the forehead.

Affected parts sweat profusely.

In some epidemics occurring in winter and early spring it often amounts to the genus epidemicus; especially when gastric and typhoid fevers predominate, or when every fever is inclined to become remittent or typhoid.
