Euphorbia Corollata

Mind

Great anxiety.

Stomach

Suddenly, with no premonitory symptoms of pain; a distressing sense of deathly nausea set in, accompanied in a few minutes by faintness (after one hour and a half); *then sudden and powerful vomiting of, first the food, etc., in the stomach, then large quantities of water mixed with mucus, then clear fluid like rice-water . In less than a minute after the vomiting commenced, great commotion in the bowels, followed immediately by copious watery evacuations, set in; this simultaneous vomiting and diarrhoea continued for nearly an hour, at short intervals, or intermissions, all the while accompanied by great anxiety, a deathlike sense of faintness and exhaustion, [7] . When given in large doses it is apt to induce inflammation of the mucous coat of the stomach and bowels, with hypercatharsis. It causes distressing nausea with prostration, [8] .

Pulse

During the height of its action the pulse sank to 40, [1] .

Softness of the pulse, [2] .

General Symptoms.

Languor, [2] . Great weakness, [1] .

Deathlike sense of faintness and exhaustion, [1] . After 50 grains, the effects were much more intense, but lasted only a little longer. It resembled more nearly a severe attack of seasickness, or cholera morbus, than anything the doctor could imagine, [1] . [10.] In about two or three hours all the symptoms passed away, leaving only weakness as from hunger and a peculiar languor, [1] .

Fever

Cool skin, covered with beaded sweat, [1] .

Cold hands, feet, and nose, [1] .

Perspiration, [2] . 4 grains given every three hours will act as a diaphoretic, [3] .
