    pathic to photopsia and lachrymation ; also to Tinea-ciliaris ; and probably to scrofulous ophthalmia. It has proved useful in fistula lachrymalis, attended with pain in the eye, extending very far down into the upper jaw ; and into the nostril, followed by soreness and painful sensibility of the bones of the upper jaw and nose. (11.) Nose.—Sore feeling in the nose; appearance of pimples; fluent coryza, with sneezing. Pains about the bones of the nose, extending into and behind the eye and down into the malar bones. Clinical Remarks.—A very large pimple with inflamed base on the top of the nose, was cured in two days by Acid.-fluoric. 15th. (Jeanes.) A chronic inflammation of the nose with pain, redness, some swelling and heat, disappeared within three days; after the formation of a small pustule, with a smooth surface, on a painful red circle. (Hering.) [30.] Ears.—Stitches and pressing pain in the ears, followed by pains in the heels. (Freitag, Husman.) Increased sensitiveness of hearing in the morning. (Hering.) [30.] Clinical Remarks.-—It may prove homoeopathic to some forms of rheumatic ear-ache, especially in rheumatic irritation of the fibroua tissues about the ear. (8.) Face and Jaws.—Heat and perspiration in the face. (Hering.) Itching on the right side of the face. (Geist, Husmann.) Deep pain in the bones around the eyes. (Hering.) Painful sensibility in the jaws, spasmodic contraction; drawing and gnawing pain in the inferior maxillary-bones ; burning pain on the outside. (Hering, Neidhard.) [30.] Clinical Remarks.—This remedy seems to act specifically upon the periosteum of the bones of the face ; in this respect its action is some- what similar to that of Mezereum. (11.) Teeth.—Teeth feel warm; the warmth was felt in the teeth, and not in the gums; drawing, digging toothache. (Smith. Husman. Neidhard.) Sensation of roughness, as if broken, in the lower incisor teeth. Tongue feels painful on touching it. (Hering.) (30.) Clinical Remarks.—A fistula near the right eye-tooth, of several years' duration, gradually disappeared while taking the remedy; Fluoric-acid seems to exert a specific action upon the fibrous tissues and periosteum about the jaws and teeth. (11.) Mouth.—Warm, burning sensation, as if from a sore on the inner 3ide of the lips. Taste.—A solution of \ gr. caused in the mouth a violent pain, as from hot water, the teeth becoming very painful. Nausea.— One drop of the ffeth produced a bluntness of the teeth, a sensation of sticking, contraction and tension, after which the in- terior cuticle of the mouth became whitish and peeled off.—Twenty drops of the ^th, taken in water, excited frequent sour eructations, sensation of heat and disagreeable flat taste in the mouth.
