careful about very insignificant things, which formerly were perfectly indifferent to her, [1]. ► Solicitous and
fearful. The slightest noise in the street seems to him like a fire alarm, and he is
frightened thereat, so that he starts in every limb, [1].
► Dread. When walking in the street, she imagines that
people are criticizing her, and judging her wrongfully, which makes her anxious, so that she
will not look up, will look at no one, and sweats all over, [1].

resolves to undertake a certain matter in the evening, but scarcely is the time come when
she repents it, and is undecided whether she shall do it or not
, [1]. ► Extreme irresolution; he
proposes a short journey, but as soon as he makes preparation he changes his mind, and is

forehead and temples, [1]. ►
Stupefying, dull pressure in the forehead, just over the root of the nose, [1]. ► Painful pressure in the
forehead, just over the right eye, [5]. ► Dull pressing pain from within outwards in the whole

occiput, and ending in the cervical vertebræ (after nine hours), [4]. ► Heavy sensation in the
whole occiput, especially close to the neck, with a tension of the same, though without
influence upon motion (after four hours), [4]. ► Sudden sensation as of drawing, extending from the occiput
over the right ear and lower jaw, [1]. ► Dull, pressive pain in the occipital bone, extending from the
cervical vertebræ behind the right ear, obliquely to the parietal bone, in the afternoon,
at 4 P.M., and afterwards, the following day, at the same hour, [4]. ► The scalp is painful to
every touch, [6]. ►
A creeping over the scalp, as if the hair stood on end, without cold sensation, [1]. [40.] ► Here and there in the scalp slow, fine stitches, which compel
scratching, [1].

► Aching and fatigue
in the eyes, with pressure in them, [1]. ► Dull pressure in the left eye after a twinging pain in the
left temple and orbit, with a sensation as though the eye would water, and a kind of
weakness which compels her to frequently close them. Finally this presses also in the right
eye, [1]. ►
Pressure deep in the eyes, which is worse if she looks at one point, or upwards and
sidewise, but is relieved by winking or looking downwards (after several days), [1]. ► Continual pressure
on the eyeballs, [1]. ►

inclination to expectorate saliva, [1]. ► Tensive sensation in the whole face, with nausea and diarrhœic

eating, and yet a sensation of hunger, [6]. [70.] ► Very little appetite,
with a natural taste of the food; no hunger, [1]. ► Little appetite; when he attempts to eat it will not go down;
food has a natural taste but is repugnant to him, and eating gives discomfort, [1]. ► Satiety the whole
day; whatever she eats is without hunger, [1]. ► If she eats even a very little she is completely satisfied,
and experiences a painful heaviness in the stomach as from a stone, with a sensitive
gnawing; the pain is relieved by sitting erect or bending backwards, but only for a short
time; it is very much aggravated by sitting bent, [1].

time, [1]. [90.] ► Pressure in the epigastric region with oppressure of the

aggravated by the slightest food, [1]. ► Sensitive, dull sticking just below the pit of the stomach,
near the ensiform cartilage, which continues as a simple pain, [1]. ► Painful writhing sensation in

SUPPLEMENT: BARYTA ACETICA.

CORRECTION.

In Hahnemann’s Chronische Krankteiten, last
edition, vol. ii, these two salts were combined Hahnemann indicated by a dash, the symptoms
belonging to Acetica, and the editor separated these for
the “Encyclopedia” (an unnecessary refinement probably).

Recently Dr. Hering has communicated to the editor a discovery of errors
in the original text of Hahnemann. The provers of Acetica,
from Hahnemann, should be Adams, Stapf, Hartmann, Rückert, Gross, and Hartlaub. Provers of Carbonica. Hahnemann, Rummel, Hartlaub, and Nenning.

The symptoms recorded by Neumann under Baryta carb. were observed, after
the muriate.

Symptom 185 of Acetica should be
revised so as to read at the end, “as in dysentery,” instead of “when at
rest;” the error arose from a misprint in the original, which should be Ruhr instead of Ruhe. (See
Chronische Krankl., symptom 309.)
