Characteristics
Tromb. is "a parasite found singly or in groups upon the common house-fly, of a
bright red colour, nearly circular in shape. The alcoholic tincture, a brilliant
orange in colour, was prepared from specimens, about 115 in number, collected
in Frankfort, Philadelphia, in September, 1864. The provings, under the
supervision of Hering, were made by Harvey, Head, J. F. R., and Bancroft, the
potencies used 3x, 6x, 9, 18, and 30" (Hering, Guiding Symptoms). The grand
keynote of Tromb. is "< by eating or drinking." The symptom may be in the nose,
teeth, or tonsils, this modality is characteristic. On this indication I have cured
some of the worst cases of diarrhœa; and also intestinal pains coming on when
the patient eats or drinks. I have used a 10m preparation of Fincke's given me by
Skinner. A comprehensive keynote in diarrhœa and dysentery is: "Much pain
before and after stool; stool only after eating." Tromb. has cured dysentery with
brown, thin, bloody stools and tenesmus. Congested liver with urgent, loose
stools on rising from bed; during stool, sharp pain in left side, shooting
downward." Skin symptoms were prominent, especially itching of scalp and in
whiskers. Fainting on rising up. Restlessness, inability to keep quiet. Peculiar
Sensations are: As if there were no weight in head; lightness. As from
incarcerated flatus in abdomen. As if excoriated after tenesmus. As if everything
were coming out of anus. As if hot air blowing over lower abdomen and thigh.
As if abdomen needed support. As if three toes on left foot would be twisted off.
As if her breath were leaving her. The symptoms are: < By touch (pain in liver).
< By pressure (pain in abdomen). Lying down: < toothache; prevents fainting.
Swallowing, or blowing Dose = shooting in right ear. < Shaking head. Reading
aloud = toothache. Rising up = fainting. Walking < pain in head; = pain in hip-
joint (which is, however, > after a few steps). < Moving. Warm drink >
toothache. Open air > coryza. Cold air < toothache. Cold bath < pain in
abdomen. < Eating or drinking. < After stool.
