Characteristics.─
Burnett (Organ. Diseases of Women, 115) tellshow he learned of a herbalist
the use of Trit. r., the herbalist having cured with it
a patient of Burnett’s, a man suffering from dysuria. Burnett has found it no less valuable
for women than for men. “Frequently in dysuria from an inflamed state of the urethra, I
found Trit. r. Ř, ten drops in a little water,
frequently repeated, of prompt effect, often giving complete relief in a few hours, and if
the ailment is primarily in the urethra the relief is an
abiding cure; if from a tugging of the heavy womb, it is only relief.” He gives this
case: A widow, suffering from complete procidentia, uteri and very bad hćmorrhoidal
bleeding, wrote that she was driven almost mad with painful micturition; the burning and
straining were truly awful. Trit. r. Ř, as above, was
ordered, and brought a most grateful letter from the patient. She keeps a supply always at
hand.® 2000
