Footnotes p. 230

† In a strong young man who was not otherwise nervous, C. Hg.

† Compare twitchings in the face and hands with violent burning and scraping in the throat, etc. All the convulsions noticed in animals are only fatal symptoms and without any value. (C. Hg.)

† (This symptom occurred in a young watchmaker, who had suffered every two or three weeks for several years ; it generally continued three or four days. Avery marked aggravation after Bromine X, improvement in one hour and no return after seven weeks.)0 Lippe. % (The provers of the last two symptoms were in different places, proved at very different times, and did not know one another's symptoms. C. Hg.)

† (In a seven-year-old girl two weeks after a normal attack of the measles; improvement began in nine hours from the dose of Bromine X, and the whole disappeared within four days.) Lippe.

† In a person who had disease of the heart, he often experienced the last sensation, with palpitation and sounds in the heart which denoted changes in the valves of the left side of the heart. C. Hg.

† (Oak and Trinks have furuncles, but in a case in which they were produced from the bromides. The thirtieth potency, however, is decisive. It is now seen that they arc produced by Bromine itself. C. Hg.)
