Best Found Poetry From The Medical Field EVER*

from HOMŒOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA, by William BOERICKE, M.D.

CARBO ANIMALIS
Animal Charcoal

Seems to be especially adapted to scrofulous and venous constitutions, old people, and after debilitating disease, with feeble circulation and lowered vitality.

Mind.--Desire to be alone, sad and reflective, avoids conversation. Anxiety at night, with orgasm of blood.

Head.--Headache, as if head had been blown to pieces. Rush of blood with confusion. Sensation as if something lay above eyes so that she could not look up. Bluish cheeks and lips. Vertigo followed by nose-bleed. Nose swollen, tip bluish small tumor on it. Hearing confused; cannot tell direction of sound.

Modalities.--Worse, after shaving, loss of animal fluids.

Antidotes: Ars; Nux.

Compare: Badiaga; Sepia; Sulph; Plumb iod.

Dose.--Third to thirtieth potency. The third trituration for insufflation in aural polypi.
