## Keynote Indications
Euonyminum is largely used by herbalists in cases of constipation, indigestion, and torpid 
liver. It has not been proved, but Hale quoted the following account of its effects, which do not seem to differ 
much from Euon. 
“In very large doses, it proves a drastic cathartic, its operation being attended with a death -like nausea, 
excessive tormina and cold sweats. The dejections from the bowels are profuse, violent and accompanied by 
much flatus.” 
COMMENTS - Lutze recorded a case of albuminuria of pregnancy with dropsy cured with the 1 x, and also a 
case of albuminuria and dropsy in a young man of seventeen. This pa tient had eczema and was cured by 
Lutze with Ars. 200c. Later he got a chill from standing in the water fishing. He suffered from malaise and 
 
 
finally dropsy developed. 
Euonyminum 
After a week of treatment, he was indif ferent, drowsy, sleeping most of the day and night, sometimes with 
heavy breathing. Anasarca general, chiefly in face and limbs. Pulse full, slow, 50 to 60.  
Occasionally dull frontal or occipital headache, face sallow, sclerotics yellow, temperature 102 to 103. Urine 
scanty, 1,017 (later 1,009), containing large quantities of albumen, epithelial casts and granular debris, no bile 
or chlorides. Stool grayish. He had no pains or subjective symptoms. 
There were all the evidences of a fully- developed case of acute Bright's disease. He was given Euonymus lx, 
2 grains in half a tumbler of water, a spoonful every hour. In three days there was evident improvement. The 
treatment was continued for a month, when he was nearly well, the cure being completed with Puls., Calc., 
Sulph. at long intervals.
