The first stage :

Mild congestions, as after taking cold (Coty.): in cranial organs (head, eyes, ears, nose, face); in G.-U. organs (bladder, urethra, ovaries, uterus, mammae); in pelvis; in spine. A sense of fullness (in head, eyes, ears, nose, face); as also a feeling as if catarrhs etc. were about to appear (cold, diarrhea, menses or a chill, and perhaps sweat). Frank inflammations not favoured (unlike Spiran.). Paralysing congestions; pt. dull, dazed and dizzy (like Gels. but not drowsy); and dry. No hemorrhages. No convulsions (unlike Gel., Phys.).

Pains. Full of pains in various organs; in small parts / spots; neuralgic rather than rheumatic. Aching. Dull. Drawing. Dragging (down) in viscera (as of a stool or menses). Pains leave a heavy and tired, sore and stiff feeling. Numbness: l. forearm, below knees; tingling in calves and feet (l. more); in little toe; formication in calves and feet. General distress and full feeling.

The second stage :

A. Persistent prostration, muscular tiredness and weariness, as if born tired (Cur., Helon.); as if going into (like Echin.) or recovering from a serious acute illness (Bapt.). A nervous, shaky feeling incapacitating for any exertion mental or physical. Muscles feel unsteady and treacherous. Eyes, esp., feel tired. Weary, tired, lame, stiff and numb feeling in limbs, esp. lower legs. A light feeling as from chloroform; also a weak, tremulous feeling (as in Lec., Zinc.).

B. Fag. Nervous prostration, as after sexual excesses (esp. of the aged). Feebleness and functional incapacity as in old age (Ambr., Bapt., Carb-s., Cur.).

C. Incoordination expressed in six cannots: 1. Cannot concentrate : cannot decide or judge; cannot remember; cannot speak properly (aphasia).Slow thinking. Confusion. Omits letters. Apathetic and listless.

2. Cannot coordinate muscles. Unsteadiness, shakiness in limbs, a sense of insecurity; muscles become unruly; hands fumble at work, legs stagger, gait unnatural, cannot stand without a support. Locomotor ataxia (Agar.).

3. Cannot judge (physically): A side-walk or floor seems raised up, hence steps too high. As to size, distant objects look very large. Of time, minutes seem hours. Also of distances.

4. Cannot accomodate (focus). Presbyopia. Asthenopia.

5.Cannot perceive sensations. Analgesia. Anaesthesia. Morvan's disease (Aur-m.). Locomotor ataxia, cerebral crises, numbness. In headache not sensitive to noise, light, odours, but in ocular troubles darkness is preferred.

Gels. more right sided, Onos. more left.

Naph.: Incoordination. Eye symptoms; but of O. are due to incoordination, of N. due to degeneration (of fluids). N. has twitchings, O. trembling / crawling. N. drowsy, O. sleepless. N. emphasises on nose (hay asthma), diaphragm (whooping cough) and kidneys.

Cocc. : Onos. is a C. without its pathol.(i.e. hysterical) element. Cocc. is like Onos. and Poth. together.

Visc. : Continues the work of O. to paralysis (also of Gels.).

Phys. : The depression leads to congestion; but it goes to spasms or paralysis, and continues the sclerotic work of O. Olnd. is non-spasmodic Phys.

Poth. : Meteorism, arterial pulsation, asthma; but Onos. is not hysterical, and has urinary symptoms.
