Scrofulous. Syphilitic
Exudative. Tuberculous
A deep- acting constitutional remedy of a wide range: from catarrhs to ulcerative destruction. All stages of syphilis: primary, secondary, tertiary ; buboes; ulcers; eruptions.
Make-up : Persons with pale delicate skin, enlarged tonsils (with tendency to induration), defective nutrition, skin troubles, passive oedemas (puffy eyelids), tubercular diathesis, malarial or cancerous cachexia. Always taking cold. Thin, wiry, anxious persons of cachectic appearance, with poor appetite and digestion, wasting (emaciating) inspite of fairly eating. Rapid and profound debility; prostration with nervous erethism (Sil.). Scrofulous anemic persons: chronic catarrhal processes; enlarged tonsils, mesenteric or other lymphatic glands (cervical etc.). Chlorotic girls. Women subject to faintings. Children hyperactive; tear things.
Catarrhal inflammations; in eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs. Discharges: copious, acrid, greenish, thin, later thick, gluey, yellow (like honey).
