Reason for useT. F. Allen
(1) Destruction of tissue, as shown in ulceration of mucous surfaces, periosteal inflammation ; destruction of bone, attacking especially long bones. (2) Increased secretions, mucus, sweat, glandular secretions. (3) Chorea-like spasms (which in cases of poisoning seem to take the place of tissue changes). (4) Gastro-intestinal inflammations, even true dysentery ; acute inflammation of the kidneys and liver. (5) Mercury does not seem to attack the flat bones, has never produced iritis ; the periosteal pains are very marked, and the symptoms are always < night.
