Acts well in lymphatic temperament, in very fleshy persons, dark complexion, black hair unhealthy skin. Ailments from bad effects of vaccination [Ant. t., Sil.]; from suppressed or maltreated gonorrhoea [Med.].

Abdomen: as if an animal were crying; motion as if something alive; protrudes here and there like the arm of a foetus [Croc., Nux m., Sulph.]. Distressing, burning pain in left ovarian region when walking or riding, must sit or lie down [Croc., Ust.]; worse at each menstrual nisus. Constipation: violent pains in rectum compel cessation of effort; stool recedes, after being partly expelled [Sanic., Sil.]. Piles swollen, pain most severe when sitting. Diarrhoea: early morning; expelled forcibly with much flatus [Aloe]; gurgling, as water from a bunghole; (<). after breakfast, coffee, fat food, vaccination, onions. Anus fissured, painful to touch, surrounded with flat warts, or moist mucous condylomata. Coition prevented by extreme sensitiveness of the vagina [Plat. by dryness, Lyc., Lys., Natr.]. Skin: looks dirty; brown or brownish - white spots here and there; warts, large, seedy, pedunculated [Staph.]; eruptions only on covered parts, burn after scratching.
