DYSENTERY-- MERC SOL has a WELL-DEFINED DYSENTRIC condition. Slimy,bloody stools with much straining, he feels as if he could never finish,even when no more is passing, a NEVER-GET-DONE feeling. This is very opposite of NUX VOM and RHUS T in dysentery. These are > if a little stool is passed, but MERC and SULPHUR WILL SIT and STRAIN ,and all the salts of MERC. have the same state. MERC COR. has a more violent attack,with violent urging to stool and to urinate, and intense suffering,with burning in the parts and the passage of pure blood. MERC, IPEACAC AND ACON. are frequently indicated in epidemic dysentery that comes in HOT WEATHER, and IPEACAC, DULC and MERC are frequently indicated in the dysentery of COLD WEATHER . You should go to the bedside of a CASE OF DYSENTERY WITH THE REPERTORY or GO HOME and SEND MEDICINE. YOUR FIRST PRESCRIPTION should CURE in EPIDEMIC DYSENTERY AND if you work CAUTIOUSLY you will CURE EVERY CASE. Dr J T KENT MD. DR.P.P. WELLS pointed out the very reliable additional symptoms for NUX VOM in DYSENTERY -"THE PAINS WERE VERY GREATLY RELIEVED FOR A SHORT TIME AFTER EVERY STOOL." NITRIC ACID-"GREAT PAIN AFTER PASSAGE OF STOOL,EVEN SOFT STOOL." He walks the floor in agony of pain for an hour or two after stool in DYSENTERY.
