Overview

Excerpt from A Monograph Upon Gelseminum: Its Therapeutic and Physiological Effects, Together With Its Uses in Disease My experience does not perfectly coincide with your remark upon the action of the Gelseminum upon the nerves of sensation. It does not, certainly, cause the numbness, tingling, prickling and crawling sensations of Aconite, but, in my individual experience, it causes the pains. In my own provings I have frequently experienced a succession of acute, sudden, darting pains evidently running along single nerve-branches in almost every part of the body and limbs, sometimes so sudden and acute as to make me start. At one time a quick succession ofthcse acute sudden pains coursed down the out side and front of the tibia for over half an hour, leaving a line of con siderable tenderness marking its track. These pains which seemed clearly neuralgie, gave me the palpable indication for its employment in this disease. And it has certainly been successful. But while it has promptly cured sonic distressing cases of neuralgia, in which Aco nite had been fully tried without benefit, there have occurred some other cases in which it has failed and Aconite has succeeded.
