Characteristics (Lac caninum)

After Reisig the remedy was used by Bayard and Swan, to whose indefatigable exertions we owe the present status of this medicine. Swan''s potencies were prepared from Reisig''s 17th.

It is in diphtheria, both as curative and prophylactic that Lac can. has won its greatest fame ; and the provings and clinical experience have developed a grand characteristic in this and other affections — an alternation of sides, often very rapid. "Soreness of throat commences with a tickling sensation which causes constant cough then a sensation of a lump on one side, causing constant deglutition this condition entirely ceases, only to commence on the opposite side, and often alternates, again returning to its first condition ; these sore throats are very apt to begin and end with the menses. "

The sensation of lightness or levitation was noticed — seemed to walk on air ; not to touch the bed when lying. Cannot bear one part of her body to touch another ; must even keep her fingers apart.

The symptoms in general were < at night.

< After sleep.

Cold application > pain in upper jaw and teeth ; and cold water gave momentary > to sore throat.

Cold washing = pain in herpetic eruption.
