Wigg, age 44, took 5 drops to lx of the strong tinctureConcentrated liquid raw extractA mother tincture prepared by soaking botanical, animal, or mineral raw materials in alcohol and water..
A female prover took repeated doses
of Iris-t.
2x and 3x.
The order in which the symptoms occurred in Dr.
Wigg's case is roughly as follows:
In the first fifteen minutes, there was burn ing in the mouth and throat.
This passed off in the night, but was
intensified by each fresh dose.
After the second dose, taken early the next morning, the burni ng was
reproduced, followed two hours later by dry mouth and absence of saliva.
This was followed by a mental gloom and homesick feeling, increasing towards midnight.
Headache in temples.
Itching and burning of the scalp.

Abdominal pains, diarrheaFrequent, loose, and watery stoolsA state of having three or more loose or liquid bowel movements per day..
Desperate
exhaustion compelling him to keep in bed.
Hard chill followed by rise of temperature.
Wigg noticed the all -gone feeling par ticularly on standing up, on walking in the morning.
Cold water did not
improve the burning in mouth and throat.
A cold pillow improved pain in the temples.
The acute pains in the bowels passed off in the night, but for fourteen days there was a tender spot over the
ileo-cecal region and the bowels did not act normally for ten days.
In the female prover, it produced a strange
sensation in her mind: she though some of her friends had died, the next day she was unusually cheerful.
The most remarkable symptoms were the “fearful pain in the ileo -cecal region and the hard chill at 2 p.m.”
These indications led to the cure in the two following cases:
The first case concerned Miss A., a schoolteacher, who had for several years a pain beginning in right eye,
extending to the right half of her head.
When the pain was most severe, she vomited a quantity of green bile.
When she did not vomit she had nausea and chill between 2 and 3 p.m.
The pain passed off in sleep at night.
It always began on Saturday, before rising.
Iris-t.
30x every six hours commencing on Friday morning, was given and quickly cured after Iris., Aloe, Cimic and Kali-bi had failed to give much relief.
The relief from Iris -t was so marked the patient thought she had
received morphine.
The second case concerned Mr.
E., who drank a large quantity of buttermilk while in a state of perspiratio n
after walking thirty miles over a mountainous country in August.
Four hours after, he was taken with fearful
pain in ileo -cecal region.
This caused a deathly sensation at his epigastrium.
Finally he vomited much dark
green bile without relief.
An old school doctor was called in and diagnosed obstruction with probable death in four days.
He lingered
three weeks and was brought home to Portland where Dr.
Wigg saw him and diagnosed typhilitis, badly treated.
Pressure on the ileo -cecal region caused the de ath like sensation at stomach pit.
Pain continued until he
vomited a cupful of dark green bile.
He was somewhat constipated.
Under Iris-t.
15x every three hours he commenced to improve at once and in two weeks was back at his
business
