## Keynote Indications
The use of a testicular extract in cases of senile decay and nervous breakdown was first 
proposed by Brown- Sequard, and formed one of the examples by which he illustrated his doctrine of “inner 
secretions.” 
He maintained that the various glands of the organism had, in addition to their obvi ous secretion or excretion, 
an additional secretion which was not obvious, but which materially contributed to the welfare of the organism. 
The doctrine is now generally accepted and the use of the sarcodes in general is based upon it. Homeopathy 
can use these remedies in both ways. 
Orch. has been used with success in the triturations in menopausal sufferings and in old-school practice in the 
sequelae of ovariotomy in cases of debility, sexual weakness and premature senile decay.  
COMMENTS - Generally a remedy for men. Impotency (Sei.) and sexual debility. Weakness in the testes, 
particularly before puberty. Hot flashes. Senility.
