Reason for use

In periosteal rheumatism with boring, pressing pains coming like lightning and leaving parts numb we find the classic indications for the use of Mezereum.

It is not to be forgotten in the nightly bone pains of children or when there is pain mostly in the long cylindrical bones as if in the marrow, and often associated with venereal disease or from the abuse of mercury.
