MOUTH.
►
Teeth, Objective. ► (A
decidedly improved condition of the teeth; the carious teeth seem to
secrete less, and the gums do not bleed so easily), (after second week),
[1a]. ►
The right eye-tooth, which was formerly rough, but became afterwards
smooth again, is now rough, and commences to ache, particularly at the
root of it; in the upper jaw, along the root of the teeth, pressure is
very painful, particularly in the evening; it is mitigated temporarily

of the teeth, a sensation of sticking, contraction, and tension, after
which the mucous membrane of the mouth became whitish and peeled off
(after three day), [16]. ► Teeth feel warm, those of the upper
jaw, especially on the left side; the incisor and canine are much warmer

warmth in the pharynx; these sensations ceased in the course of an hour;
the prover remarked particularly, that the heat or warmth was felt in
the teeth, and not in the gums or alveolar processes, [6]. ► All the
teeth of the left jaw seem to pain, especially those whose roots have
been taken out, [9]. ► Toothache for a short time in the left
lower jaw, [9]. ► Toothache on the right side, extending to
the left thigh, the outer portion above the knee, [13]. ► The
pain in the tooth on the right side disappears for a moment and jumps to

sour taste, [16]. ► Saliva. [190.]

that he is frequently obliged to spit, lasting ten minutes, followed by
headache, with which the salivation decreases and after an hour
disappears, [5]. ► Five minutes after taking, there
commenced an increase of the flow of saliva, which caused him to spit
constantly for about ten minutes, when he began to feel a pain in the
head, a sensation as if the head was too heavy and would drop down from
one side to the other, a pressing outward from within; the flow of
saliva after this pain had established itself began to diminish, and in

large quantity of viscid, tasteless saliva in the mouth,
burning-pinching pain in the stomach, and with a sensation of distension
from flatulency; after the passage of some wind the pain is increased,
and he cannot pass any more; after a copious pappy evacuation of the
bowels the pains seem to concentrate themselves in the region of the
