Calcarea Acetica

General action :

The clinical uses of this drug have been based chiefly upon the well-known power of Acetic acid to produce inflammations of the mucous membranes, characterized by membranous exudation ; when these conditions appear in persons presenting a strongly marked Calcarea cachexia.

Urinary and Sexual organs :

Membranous dysmenorrhoea in persons of Calcarea habit.

Respiratory organs :

A most brilliant cure was made of an obstinate case of membranous bronchitis, which for months had resisted all other treatment ; the paroxysms recurred every two or three weeks ; each time it seemed as if the patient would die, until extensive casts of the membrane of the bronchi were expectorated ; entirely cured by this drug.
