Another effect noticed was the drying up of the milk both in sheep \nand cows. The finer ash which feel on pastures at a distance was the most deleterious, the gross ash near the \nmountain was inert. \nWilkinson added that he used Hecla, with excellent effect in toothache, gum abscess, swellings about the jaws \nand in difficult dentition. \nHecla, affects mostly the bones of the head, jaws, jawbones, teeth and legs. Osteosarcoma, exostosis and \nosteitis, arrests development and prevents recurrence. \nClinical experience has shown the power of Hecla, to arrest many forms of bone disease including \nosteosarcoma, scrofulous and syphilitic osteitis and exostoses. Painful swellings, sensitive to touch, worse \nfrom touch and pressure. \nExostosis, gum abscess, toothaches, difficult teething. Nodosities, decay of bone, etc. Bone necrosis. \nNecrosis and sinus after mastoid operation.

It was at times painful.  \n\u201cPatient was in other respects in good health and well nourished, but her teeth were not very sound. She goes \nblue in winter, and suffers also very badly from chilblains both on hands and feet, worse on hand.  \n\u201cHecla lava 2c given six grains three times a day. July 17th. The exostosis is decidedly smaller; it never pains \nnow. September 25. The exostosis has entirely disappeared; the two heels being compared, no difference \nbetween them now can be discovered.\u201d \nBurnett stated \u201cI have cured several bony tumours of the jaws with  the same remedy, and that very promptly: \nthey were all of recent origin.\u201d","Head":"Chronic headache, from dental or bone disease.
