Reason for useT. F. Allen
It produces violent inflammation of the gastro-intestinal canal, with profound depression of the heart and of the temperature. It produces also acute inflammation of the kidneys. It is specially interesting to note that it produces symptoms of the acute manifestations of gout, quite apart from any direct modifications of the excretion of urea or uric acid. Its relief of acute gout seems to be purely a homoeopathic action.
