    dreads the future, frets and grieves constantly, is sleepy during the day, but cannot rest at night, perspires night and day, loses the hair, the voice becomes feeble, give Staphisagria (dry, n.). If he is contemptuous, refuses to speak, is feverish, and loses flesh, give Phosphoric acid (dry n.). If quarrelsome, obstinate, sensitive, and manifesting great anxiety, give Mercurius vivus (dry n.). If the menstrual discharges are produced by grief, fright, anxiety or fear, varying much in quantity, give Platinum (dry, n.) Vexation. If grief or shame is the consequence of vexation, give Ignatia (dry). If vexation is followed by coldness or chills, and the patient remains cross, give Bryonia (dry); should Bryonia not suffice, give Nux vomica (dry).

If vexation causes a bitter taste, retching and vomiting of bile, headache, oppression at the heart or stomach, cutting pains in the bowels, diarrhoea, fever with heat and thirst, redness of the face and eyes, agitation, bilious fever or jaundice, give Chamomilla (m sol.), which may, in some cases, be repeated in from 6 to 12 hours, according to circumstances.
