It is an ingredient  in some \nblack pigments and of a black, permanent ink. \nWorkers become debilitated. They con tract a dry, hard, almost convulsive cough, with hemorrhage. The \ntemperature becomes elevated with a diurnal maximum. Diarrhea sets in soon, and flesh and weight is  lost \nrapidly. They are very apt to go from this state into genuine tuberculosis and die.  \n \n \nThese symptoms suggest it as a remedy in the early stages of tuberculosis. It agrees with the general \ncharacters of that disease, namely the cough, prostration, fever  with daily rise, emaciation, hemorrhage and \ndiarrhea. Vanad. also affects the liver with a degenerative process. \nIts action is that of an oxygen carrier and a catalyzer, hence its use in wasting diseases. Increases amount of \nhemoglobin, also combines its oxygen with toxins and destroys their virulence. It also increases and stimulates \nphagocytes. \nIt is a remedy in degenerative conditions of the liver and arteries. Anorexia and symp toms of gastro-intestinal \nirritation. Tremors, vertigo, neuro -retinitis and  blindness. Ane mia, emaciation. Cough dry, irritating and \nparoxysmal, sometimes with hemorrhages. Irritation of nose, eyes and throat.  \nActs as a tonic to digestive functions  and in early tuberculosis. Degenerative states with brain softening. \nTuberculosis, chronic rheumatism, diabetes. Cold hands and feet. Raynaud\u2019s syndrome.  \nDegenerative conditions of liver and ar teries. Fatty degeneration of the heart and liver. Arteriosclerosis, \nsensation as if heart was compressed, as if blood had no room in the aorta . Deeply pigmented patches on \nforehead in liver disorders. Profound weakness.
