WILLIAM BOERICKE

- Fearlessness.
- Delirium characterized by singing, shouting, and muttering; rhymes and prophesies.
- Begins with paroxysm of yawning.
- The proving bring out four phases of cerebral excitement.
- Slight stimulation-shown by increased cheerfulness, courage, loquacity, exalted fancy.
- More decided intoxication-great mental excitement and incoherent talking, immoderate gaiety alternates with melancholy.
- Perception of relative size of objects is lost, takes long steps and jumps over small objects as if they were trunks of trees-a small hole appears as a frightful chasm, a spoonful of water an immense lake.
- Physical strength is increased, can lift heavy loads. With it much twitching.
- Third stage produces a condition of furious or raging delirium, screaming, raving, wants to injure himself, etc.
- Fourth stage-mental depression, languor, indifference, confusion, disinclination to work, etc. We do not get the active cerebral congestion of Belladonna, but a general nervous excitement such as is found in delirium tremens, delirium of fevers, etc.

J.T.KENT
- The mental symptoms are such as you would expect.
- Great changeability, irritability, mental depression and complaints which come on from overexertion of the mind and prolonged study.
- The brain seems to be developed tardily.
- Children are late in learning to talk and walk, thus combining the features of two remedies, Natrum muriaticum, which has the symptom "late learning to talk," and Calcarea carb., which has the symptom "late learning to walk." It will be noticed in Calcarea that this is due to a defect in bone weakness.
- In Agaricus it is a mental defect, a slowly developing mind.
- Children with twitching and early fainting, nervous girls prior to puberty who have convulsions from being scolded, from excitement and shock; late in mental development.
- Children who cannot remember, make mistakes and are slow in learning.
- Nervous patients who on going over their manuscripts find out their mistakes in writing and spelling.
- The condition of the mind is one in which they are slow to grasp ideas; wrong words float in kaleidoscopically.
- When we read in the book "the whole psychological sphere as if paralyzed," we must read between the lines.
- The whole mind and sensorium seem paralyzed; the patient is sluggish, stupid, at times seems to be delirious; there is confusion of the mind so nearly like delirium that it is not unlike intoxication.
- A delirium such as is produced by alcohol.
- He also becomes silly, says foolish and silly things, sings and whistles at an inopportune time, makes verses and prophesies; or he lapses into an opposite state, becomes indifferent to Ids surroundings.
- One who is mild and placid becomes self-willed, obstinate and conceited.
- Difficulty in coordinating the movements of the muscles of the body.
- Incoordination of brain and spinal cord. Clumsy motion of the fingers and hands.
- In handling things she drops them.
- Fingers fly open spasmodically while holding things. You will sometimes cure Bridget in the kitchen with Agaricus or Apis, when the trouble is that she is continually breaking the dishes by letting them fall.
- These two remedies are opposites, Agaricus must stay near the fire, while Apis she wants to get out of the kitchen.
- The awkwardness, clumsiness, etc., are both mental and bodily.
- Every sort of change is rung on the patient and the doctor.
- At times the patient is stupid, awkward and clumsy, at other times quick and poetical, can run off poetry without effort, especially at night.
- In the morning he is tired and sluggish and this may last till noon.
- The mental symptoms are worse in the morning and are relieved towards evening.
- All jerking and twitching subside during sleep.
- There is vertigo when walking in the open air.
- He is always chilly.
- On undertaking to do something he does the opposite.
- Vertigo and confusion of mind are mixed up.
