Affinity for the mucous membranes and the serous membranes. This is exhibited by the symptoms produced in the head, eyes, nose, the respiratory and the urinary systems.

During the proving it was significant to note that in many provers who had shown cysts or ova of helminthic infection, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia at the commencement

of the provings the cysts or ova had disappeared after nine months of provings and the stools did not show the same for a long time thereafter. Indicating Abrom-a.may possess anthelminthic properties warranting further detailed investigation.

Headache, sneezing, cough, cold, watering and redness of the eyes, chill, fever, bodyache, malaise and debility indicates its probable usefulness in the early picture of influenza and malaria.

Along with the respiratory signs and symptoms such as shortness of breath sneezing, running of the nose etc. the blood picture shows an increase in the eosinophilia count (17%) at the cost of lymphocytes (18%) without any appreciable rise in total W.B.C. count (6800/cu mm). This indicates the allergic manifestation and hence it suggests the probable use in allergic conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis etc., the disappearance of cysts and ova of helminths also confirm the above observations.

Female provers relieved pain of menstruation and reduced the tendency to heavy bleeding. In one of the unit 9 female provers were employed in this proving. Out of these 9 female provers 5 were controls. They were in the age group ranging from 20 years to 38 years. Almost all of them had mentioned in their case histories at the commencement of the proving about the heavy bleeding and the attending pain. The 18 months of proving produced marked improvement in respect of their bleeding and the pain than in those who were kept as controls.

In another unit 10 female provers were employed. Out of these 10 female provers, 5 were as controls. They were in age group ranging from 16 years to 32 years. Their menstrual history recorded at the time of commencement of the proving was normal. Eighteen months of proving produced delayed menstruation by ten days and scanty flow-black clotted blood.

None of these provers had history of leucorrhoeal discharge, yellowish white. with offensive, odour, with pain in lower abdomen and back was recorded.

The records of the provings at two different units show the antispasmodic activity of the drug in the uterine musculature. The changes produced in the bleeding pattern of the provers suggest its antihaemorrhagic properties.

Increased thirst, profuse urination, albuminuria, general aching in the extremities, soreness of muscles, debility, itching on the skin with or without eruptions, lethargy and weakness in suggestive of Diabetes mellitus and or Diabetes insipidus. J.K.'s provings have reported actual fall in blood sugar (fasting) level in two of his provers. Ray has accredited this drug to possess antidiabetic potentialities on the basis of his clinical experience. However no such hypoglycemic activity was noticed in the provings. Since the symptoms are suggestive,

it is worthwhile to explore the possibility of this drug in that direction.

Soreness in the right hypochondrium with sensation of fullness, loss of appetite, colicky pain, unsatisfactory evacuation of bowels, albuminuria, anasarca, suggests affections of liver and biliary apparatus and its defective functioning.

Desire for sweet has markedly been exhibited. This makes an useful addition to the existing list of drugs. (Arg-n./Chin./Lyc./Sulph./Calc.).

The varieties of signs and symptoms expressed in the joints and the extremities are suggestive of its usefulness in arthritis and rheumatic pains.

The trace of magnesium demonstrates its activity on the peripheral circulation and the skeletal muscles. It may be noted with interest that the action of A. augusta resembles that

of Mag-p.–ähnlich are they complementary.

Conclusion:

Short proving of Jugal Kishore has indicated its possible uses in

Allergic rhinitis, hay fever and bronchitis

Chilblains

Constipation fissure in ano

Diabetes mellitus and insipidus

Dysmenorrhoea and some other menstrual disorders

Migraine

Rheumatoid arthritis

Sinusitis

The present proving confirming some aspects of the drug's medical action as independently reported by Ray and J.K. shows that it may become useful remedy in headache

with sinusitis

Conjunctivitis

Upper respiratory infections Including allergic rhinitis, bronchitis and asthma

Dysentery amoebiasis, diarrhoea, helminthiasis and giardiasis Affections of kidney and liver

Rheumatic pains of joints arthritis, synovitis.

Diabetes mellitus and insipidus Uterine disorders metrorrhagia, dysmenorrhoea.

Further trails will be necessary to define, confirm and stabilise the potentiality of its therapeutic activity.

[Farokh Master]

A Drug of Hindoostan contains a lot of magnesium as its constituent.

This is one of my very favorite medicines for dysmenorrhoea esp. for those women who get severe dysmenorrhoea and their menstrual flow may be either copious or scanty. Excessive leucorrhoea that may be either watery or thick. The constitution where you should think of Abroma radix is in thin and chilly women, not for the obese;
