Authority. T. Cation Duncan, M.D., Trans. New York State Hom. Soc., vol. viii, 1870, p. 248, Dr. Douglass took a trituration of the flowers, one part to six of Sac. lactis; the effects were so speedy and marked that six other persons took it, with substantially the same results within a few minutes, in a number of cases.

A feeling of fulness or congestion of all the salivary glands; in some instances amounting to decided discomfort, and even pain, quickly followed by increased, sometimes copious flow of saliva.
