![invalid very feeble and subject to frequent and exbausting diar rhoeas Great debility, scarcely with power to raise the arms ;—. excessive prostration after eating;—weakness, especially in the lower limbs and small of the back, scarcely permitting him to stand ;—on walking, as if he would fall to either side.—Ed.] China is also one of the most valuable remedies for debility caused by Excessive sexual indulgence ; but, when the malady has become chronic, and the cause has exercised an active influence for a long time, it will be necessary to have recourse to other remedies, such as : Calc, n.-vom., phos.-ac, siL, staph., and sulph., or else to : Arn., anac, carb.-v., con., mere, natr.-m., phos., and sep. Calc. is espe- cially indicated when coition is invariably followed by great lassi- tude, trembling of the legs, fatigue, and pain in the head.—Stap?tys. when the patient is much distressed by a sense of the culpability of his indulgences; and when coition is followed by asthmatical suffer- ings and hypochondriacal humor. In the majority of cases, the consequences of Masturbation require: N.-vom., followed by Sulph. and calc. ; if Chin., phos.-ac, or staph. should prove insufficient, Carb.-v., con., cocc, nair.-?n., n.-mosch., and phos., will also often be found useful. The best medicines to over- come an inclination for this vice are : Sulph. and calc, also: Chin., cocc, mere, and -phos., and perhaps : Ant., carb.-v., plat., puis. The most efficacious medicines in debility, when it is the result of violent Acute diseases, are : Chin., hep., siL, and veratr., or else, Calc, kal., natr.-m., phos.-ac, and sulph.—Chin, is especially bene- ficial in the first instance, when the patient happens to have been previously bled.—Chinin. 1 Phos.-ac. is often a successful remedy in debility arising from The rapid growth of young persons ; and for debility in Aged persons : Aur., baryt., conium, chinin ? and opium may be studied with ad- vantage. *^ See also Art.
