Action : Dystrophy, impaired nutrition and repair (e.g. rhagades, gouty deposits). Senilism where brain and nerve degeneration (e.g. acerebration, paralysis, sclerosis or softening) ultimately prevails over vegetative. Sluggish responses (Plb.), apathy, childish or silly behaviour, impaired sight and hearing, tinnitus, failing absorption and repair, retreating sex. Involution, receding, dwindling, declining; returning dwarfishness (psycho- somatic). Begins with atony, passes through anaesthesia to atrophy, ultimating in akinesia and imbecility.

Carb-v. and Carb-s. both are very deep-acting; but, Carb-v. is more intensified, severe and putrescent, Carb-s. is more senile and nervy. Lyc. stands between these two, avoiding both extremes (putrescence and nervous symptoms).

Senility of Carb-s. is iatrogenic and neuric, while in Carb-v. it is mental and idiopathic.
