I have seen most pleasing results in the treatment of inflammatory rheumatism. Afterwards to a some what more disagreeable class of complaints in form of neuralgia. This drug has given me the quickest and the most satisfactory results of any remedy in the Materia medica. A man wants relief from quick and now it is from these excruciating pains. I treated some obstinate cases of ciliary neuralgia or facical or in fact nearly every form of neuralgia, it came to my relief immediately and to the great comfort of the patient. In several cases of neuralgia of the head and face it would do its works quickly and well, equally well has it served me in very sever cases of neuralgia of stomach and bowels, while for the past few years it had done very good work in ovarian and utrine neuralgia following or preceding difficult Menstruation's. Today I have many friends whose relief from suffering was found in this remedy.
