Characteristic Peculiarities
One of the first indications for this drug, is the appearance of raw, bloody surfaces, which may be on the lips, buccal cavity, nose, back of ear, etc. There is great itching with this rawness, so that children will often pick and bore into these surfaces, though so doing causes great pain, and they will scream with the pain meantime; but they will keep up this boring and screaming. Very scanty secretion of urine, sometimes passing none fora day. Great delirium. Headache. Rawness at lips, and corners of the mouth. Clergymen’s sore throat, or sore throat of one-who speaks a great deal. Children also pick their fingers, their skin, their lips; lose their appetite; don’t want to play; lose flesh; have headaches.
