Old age nutritional troubles. Low septic states. General disorganization of the blood, haemorrhages and jaundice. A crotalin injection decreases the rate of coagulation of the blood. In epilepsy the average rate is far greater than in normal conditions. Blood decomposition, haemorrhages (dark fluid that forms no clots), tendency to carbuncles, malignant scarlatina, yellow fever, the plague, cholera, give opportunity to use this remedy. Haemorrhagic diathesis. Acts as a sedative. Sleeps into his symptoms. More right-sided in its action.
