These experienceshave provided a number of the \nsymptoms indicating its medicinal use. \nCarb-ac. is a languid, painless, foul and destructive remed y. Acts primarily on the central nervous system.

Gangrene has been \ncaused by the application of 2 to 5 percent solutions, prescribed by Dr. Streintz.  \nFahnestock observed a case of poisoning from inhaling the fumes. The patient, a woman, feeling ill, ran across \nthe street to a neighbor's. \n \n \nBefore reaching the house she fell prostrate, pale, gasping for breath. \nWhen taken in, she had to be propped up in order to breathe, trembled all over, wanted h er hands held, \n\u201cpricking like needles,\u201d all over body, unable to raise right arm.

The symptoms first relieved are the agonizing backache across the loins with \na dragging sensation down the buttocks into the thighs. \nCooper regarded it as specific in influenza in the 3x for the attack and 30c for result ing debility. \nDr. Proctor recorded a brilliant cure of a double bas al pneumonia with drop doses of the B. P. solution after \nfailure of more com monly used remedies. Nervous dyspepsia of intensely painful character has frequently \nbeen cured by it. \nR. K. Ghosh found it admirable in cases of cholera where V erat. seems indicated and fails. There is intolerance \nof warm room, but also sensitiveness to cold air which aggravates many symptoms.  \nGhosh also reported great improvement in a case of diabetes when the remedy was given for something else. \nProell recorded his own case of idiopathic erysipelas affecting the back of the right hand, first three fingers and \narm with violet colored swelling and roughness. Rhus -t. removed the fever, but did nothing to stop the \nerysipelas. Carb-ac. 30c did so promptly. RELATIONS - Antidote: Alcohol, Vinegar, Chalk, Iodine. Glauber\u2019s \nSalt in watery solu tion.
