With a solution of 5 grains to 3 ounces of water. Cooper \nremoved troublesome small nevi in infants upon the face and elsewhere, using it for weeks or even months.  \nCooper removed a large patch of ery thematous lupus on the cheek. From this it would appear, taking into \naccount that Ox -ac. produces wart -like growths, it may have a beneficial influence, locally and probably \ninternally as well, upon epithelial proliferations of the cuticle. \nIn an interesting study of Ox -ac., J. W. Ellis cited a fatal case of poisoning recorded by Boericke thro ugh \nexposure of the hands to a saturated solution used for chemical purposes. \nThe symptoms were intense pains in head, hyperesthesia, especially to light. Spasms of pain down limbs, \nalong throat muscles and through spermatic cord. Sensitive spots on spine. \nExcruciating pain in lower back and loss of power in the lower limbs shows an un mistakable action on the \nspinal cord and its meninges. These symptoms are better seen in less severe cases of poisoning. In animals \npoisoned with Ox-ac. the first symptom is stiffness of hind limbs. . \nFarrington summed up the indications of Ox -ac. in spinal affections, including weak loins, hips, legs, numb \nback, numb limbs. Limbs blue and cold, weak and numb, worse going up stairs. Limbs stiff, paroxysm of \ndyspnea (as in spinal meningitis). Pains in small spots, especially linear spots. Pains worse when thinking of \nthem. Erections with dullness in occiput. Left-side rheumatism. \nSharp shooting pain in left lung and heart, extending down to epigastrium.

Coldness of surface, numbness. Mottled skin, blue nails. Generally left sided.  \nSugar aggravates the stomach pain. Wine causes headache. Oxaluria, with backache, numbness. Frequent \nineffectual urging to stool, preceded by a sick, distressing feeling from navel downwards, worse when thinking \nof it, worse from drinking coffee. Faintness and vomiting during stool. Pain in back better after stool.  \nJohn Moore reportd the case of a sea captain who suffered from indigestion. Two years before Moore saw him \nhe had to undergo an operation for strangulated hernia. Ever since he had been subject to pain in region of \nnavel coming on two hours after eating, accompanied by much flatulence and bitter and sou r belchings. \nPain worse in night, arousing the patient 3 a.m. and keeping him awake. Burning sensation from throat \ndownwards to the region of the pain. The patient had always has a weak digestion and had met with many \nsevere accidents at sea. \nHe was given Ox-ac. 3c, two drops, an hour after meals. He was a little better the first night and after that slept \nthe night through and said he had not had so much comfort for years. \nBedwetting has been cured with Ox -ac. 6c in a blonde boy of six. The guiding symptom  was \u201cSharp shooting \npain in left chest, close to sternum and parallel to it.\u201d \nC. Walker told Clarke of a case of his in which the patient, an elderly, gouty man, was suddenly seized with \ncongestion of spinal meninges with great coldness, blueness and numbnes s with complete prostration of \nstrength. Ox-ac. 6c rapidly cured. \nA patient of Clarke who used Ox -ac. in his work suffered from \u201cRheumatism of left side. Starting on falling \nasleep. When actually at work, acidity.\u201d \nW. M. Butler gave great relief with Ox - ac. 3c. in a case of paraplegia, affecting first the right then the left leg \nof a year's duration in an American woman, mother of four children. \nIn a few weeks the motor symptoms were better then the sensory. Sensation to heat and cold was restored, \n \n \ngeneral tactile sensibility was improved. Some control was gained over bladder and rectum.  \nHale cured a case of palpitation with action of heart irregular in force and rhythm, alternating with aphonia with \nOx-ac. 6c. It was a favorite remedy with S. A. Jones in cardiac trouble, occurring in highly \u201cnervous\u201d patients. \nEllis suggested that Ox-ac. corresponds to many cases of neurasthenia.","Head":"Headache, before and during stool.
