Treas. of Bot . gives the names as synonymous. The symptoms of H. Minton, the original prover, are given in Allen under T. cernuum . Minton obtained the tincture from a botanic physician and did not himself verify the plant. His symptoms are marked (M) in the schema. Millspaugh considers T. erectum as the proper source of the homœopathic tincture.] N. O. Smilaceæ (or Trilliaceæ) of the Liliaceæ. Tincture of the fresh root.

The chief uses of Trill . come to us from the eclectics, who learned some of them from the native Indians. The popular name Birth-root sufficiently indicates one part of its reputation. In hæmorrhage, ante-partum, post-partum, and climacteric, in fibroid tumours, and in hæmorrhages of all kinds Trill . has been found curative. Both the White and the Purple varieties have been used. Minton's proving of T. cernuum (?) brought out the hæmorrhagic property in the blood-tinged diarrhœa. One characteristic in connection with the hæmorrhages of Trill . is faintness and sinking at the stomach; also cold extremities and rapid, feeble pulse. "Flooding with fainting" is a keynote. Minton's proving brought out a symptom bearing on this "Sensation of goneness in abdomen." He had also extreme debility palpitation, and anxiety. Trill . has been used as a local hæmostatic in epistaxis and for bleeding after tooth extraction. Peculiar Sensations are: As if eyes too large (M). As if a crumb were in larynx (M). As if the chest was tightly bound and could not be expanded. As if hips and small of back were falling to pieces. As if sacro-iliac synchondroses were falling apart; wants to he bound tightly. As if bones were broken. Left side most affected. Restless, tossing agitation, fear of being sick, great anguish were experienced by Minton. The restlessness and exhaustion from hæmorrhages are typified in this. Blue vision; and craving for ice-water are other noteworthy symptoms. There is tendency to putrescence of fluids. The hæmorrhages of Trill . are copious; either active or passive; usually bright red and profuse. Trill . is suited to women who flood after every labour; flabby subjects. The symptoms of Minton's proving were: > Bending forward; < sitting erect. < By motion. < After eating. > By exercise in open air. Standing or walking = bearing down in pelvis. Motion < hæmorrhages.
