Retinal \nimages retained long after using eyes. \nCOMMENTS - Sandesberg noticed that the internal use of Jab. and pilocarpine in cases of detached retina \nand choroiditis seemed to occasion o pacity of the crystalline lens. He treated a horse for iridochoroiditis and \nlarge opacities of the vitreous with infusion of Jab. leaves and injections of Pilo. The disease was quickly \narrested, the vitreous cleared up completely, but during the first week  the crystalline lens became opaque. \nJab. has been used as a remedy for baldness and it forms the principal ingredient in some of the popular hair \nrestorer tonics. In a number of patients taking it, white hair and blonde hair have been observed to turn bl ack. \nJab. has a reputation for stimulating breast secretions. A case is quoted from the Lancet in which a woman \nwhose milk had ceased for a fortnight received ten drops of the fluid extract every four hours. The secretion of \nmilk was re-established, but the patient began to suffer from extreme nervous excitement accompanied by a \nfixed idea that she should murder her family with a hatchet. \nThe drug was stopped and these symptoms disappeared, and with them, the activity of the breast glands.  \nBell commended it in diarrhea with gush ing. painless stools, flushed face, profuse salivation and sweat, and \nintense thirst with dark urine that is scanty or profuse. \nCooper saw Jab. cause violent leucorrhea as well as a discharge of threadworms. He noted its use in relieving \n\u201ca feeling of cold ness and faintness and neuralgic throbbings in head and pelvis with a backache\u201d when the \nperiod begins. He suggested treating with a drop or two of Jab. in hot water.  \nThe Hom. News, February, 1900, quoted an incidental cure of dysm enorrhea in a woman, age 23, who \nreceived five-drop does of Jab. for increased eye-tension which rapidly disappeared. The patient noticed that \nshe passed the next menstrual period without pain though she usually had to spend two to four days in bed. \nThe drug was continued in smaller doses and the improvement was maintained.  \nHale commended its use in women or young girls who always have dry skin, scanty menses and a tendency \nof blood to the head. \nDuncan aborted erysipelas by painting the tincture on the part  four to five times daily.

On coming back to bed he was \nseized with a sudden, violent, crimson flushing of the face followed almost immediately by profuse perspiration, \nbeginning in the face and head and extending all over the body. \nThis was followed by extreme coldness of the limbs and sickness terminating in the vomiting of sour mucus. \nThe attacks recurred every quarter of an hour throughout the day. Not only was he unable to get out of bed, \nhe could not raise himself up in bed or lie otherwise than on his right side without the most distressing giddiness \nand a feeling \u201cas if he should die.\u201d Pulse 60, regular and strong, temperature below normal.  \nTen drops of Jab. 1c were mixed in half a tumbler of water and a dessert spoonful given immediately and \nrepeated every half hour.
