Characteristics.─
I am indebted to Cooper for the
whole of the information about this remedy. The symptoms of the Schema were observed on
patients after single doses of the Ř tincture allowed to exhaust their action. According to
Cooper, Lob. d. has much in common with Lob. er. and Lob. i. The
letters and figures appended to the symptoms denote the sex and age of the patients
“m” means “man,” “w” “woman.”
