If a person has drunk much chamomile tea, and has afterwards been vexed, or if he has taken, improperly, chamomile tea for fever, give Coffea (dry), and if this does not relieve, give Nux vomica (dry). If, after this, pains still remain, give Colocynth (dry). If the patient is naturally of a mild disposition, and Colocynth does not effect a perfect cure, give Pulsatilla (dry). When food or drink, taken immediately after being vexed, produces bad taste, bitter eructations, vomiting of bile, pain in the bowels, heat of the head, uneasiness, disturbed sleep, &c., give Chamomilla (in sol., 4 h.) once or twice; but if it recurs frequently, and this medicine loses its effect, give Pulsatilla, Nux vomica or Colocynth (all in sol., 4 h.). Anger. When persons of violent temper feel unwell, after having been in a passion, give Nux vomica (dry). If the anger be attended by just indignation, and the person is not of a sanguine tempera- ment, give Stapliisagria (dry). If anger and vexation produce mental alienation, give Plati- num (in sol. 12 h.). When little children get into so violent a rage as to lose their breath or fall into convulsions, give Cha- momilla (in sol., 1—3 In). If they shriek and weep violently, with frequent attacks of coughing, give Arnica (in sol., 4 li.). If they continue to cry and will not be pacified, give Belladonna (dry), and if this fails to relieve, Hepar (dry); one dose of the latter medicine will usually suffice. Sensitiveness and Irritability. These are causes of indisposition with many persons, who are sensibly affected by the most trifling emotion. If owing to this great sensitiveness there should be inward vexation, sleepless- ness, and a disposition to shed tears at the most trifling and imaginary causes, give Coffea (in sol., 12 h.) several times. The patient must, of course, abstain from drinking coffee. When
