This valuable remedy in purulent inflammations is indicated when the emission of urine is accompanied by burning, and sensation as if the urethra were closed, the last portion of urine remaining behind; with dragging pain and feeling of soreness in the ure- thra, cutting pain extending to the anus, hasmorrhage, and discharge of pus from the urethra, and painful ten- sive erections. Also, when severe inflammatory symp- toms are present, with priapism, chordee, swelling of the penis, great febrile irritation, and sensation as if the urethra were drawn into knots. Petroselinum is very efficacious when there is tingling and pressure at the root of the penis, especially early in the morning whilst in bed, abating when standing or sitting, a milky fluid being secreted which can be pressed out, afterwards changing to a yellow glutinous matter. [Drs. Miiller and Holcombe pronounce this remedy worthless in gonorrhoea. It has disappointed many others who have used it.*]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21041477_0033.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
