Reason for useNash
Pains in the long bones, especially tibia. Facial neuralgia or toothache, when the pains are greatly < by eating or motions of the jaws, > by radiate heat. Nose; vesicular eruptions, with excoriations, formation of thick scabs, < at night; zona. * * * * * Pains in the long bones, especially the tibia are sometimes greatly relieved by this remedy. I once cured a very obstinate case of facial neuralgia with it. The pains were brought on, or greatly aggravated, by eating, and the only relief he could get was to hold that side of his face as near as he could to a hot stove. Hot cloths, wet or dry, or any other heat applied did not relieve. Zona. Skin diseases, etc. See Materia Medica.
