MEZEREUM = DAPHNE MEZEREUM (mez)

"I do not propose to adopt the usual way by beginning with /Aconite/ and ending with /Zincum/, but to follow the bent of my inclinations, or, as it is sometimes expressed, the movings of the spirit; and may I not here invoke the aid of the spirits of the immortal Hahnemann, Boenninghausen and the galaxy of bright names that adorn the fair page of the history of Homoeopathy to help me."

First: NUX VOMICA (nux-v)

Previus: MARUM VERUM TEUCRIUM (Teucr)

Next: TELLURIUM (Tell)

Pains in the long bones, especially tibia.

Facial neuralgia or toothache, when the pains are greatly agg. by eating or motions of the jaws, amel. by radiate heat.

Nose; vesicular eruptions, with excoriations, formation of thick scabs, agg. at night; zona.

Pains in the long bones, especially the tibia are sometimes greatly relieved by this remedy. I once cured a very obstinate case of facial neuralgia with it. The pains were brought on, or greatly aggravated, by eating, and the only relief he could get was to hold that side of his face as near as he could to a hot stove. Hot cloths, wet or dry, or any other heat applied did not relieve.

Zona. Skin diseases, etc. See Materia Medica.
