Generalities: Profound action upon the mind and body.
Latent syphilis are over-sensitive to it, and often require it in their
complaints.

condition is very much like that found in old cases of syphilis, such as had
long treatment with Mercury and Iodides.
it is a rheumatic constitution also and is useful in acute and chronic rheuma.
It has cured rheumatic fever where the joints have been mostly affected but are
now better and the heart is the
principal seat of suffering. Many complaints are associated with cardiac
disease.

in the urine after scarlet fever or with intermittent fever. Where old

exertion. Fast walking is impossible.

Folgende Merkmale in der Stimmung und Symptomatik der Teilnehmer zogen sich über die gesamte Verreibung hin:
emotional wie gelähmt (erinnerte sehr an Opium), bezuglos zu den anderen Teilnehmern, aber mit diesem Zustand trotzdem zufrieden
ernste, ratlose Stimmung
sehr leise verhaltene Stimme
etwas (symbolisch) verdauen müssen, keinerlei Bedürfnis nach Nahrungsaufnahme
Es bestand kein Bedürfnis nach einer Mittagspause (nur Teilnehmer 2 und 4 gingen kurz einen Kaffe trinken) – alle wollten erst einmal ihre Aufgabe an dem Stoff zu Ende erfüllen
Auffallend am Goldchlorid war der Farbwechsel der Titruation über die verschiedenen Verreibestufen (welcher Assoziationen an einen alchemistischen Prozess hervor rief):
Ursubstanz in der
C0: schwarz
C1 im Milchzucker: gold-gründliche Färbung wie Vogelkot, wurde immer heller, gelber
C2: grau-grün bis grau-blau
C3: grau
