Characteristics
Nuphar l., the Yellow Pond Lily, was proved by Pitet, and many of his symptoms have been clinically confirmed. Most marked was a yellow diarrhœa coming on in the early hours of the morning. With the diarrhœa is great exhaustion. Nuph. has cured many cases of diarrhœa so characterised, and even cases of typhoid fever. Another marked feature of the proving was the excessive depression of the male generative system; and Nuph. has done good work in analogous conditions, and headaches associated therewith. The diarrhœa was < 4 to 6 a.m.; < after the least excess of any kind. Weakness and itching were < evening. Walking = painful shocks in hams; and pain in flank, which was > by pressure. < Day after coitus.
Male Sexual Organs
