The \nmind symptoms were worse and the headache better by leaning the head against something. \nDr. Herbert H. Roberts of Derby, Conn., published provings made by himself, two with the 3x and two with the \n30x tinctures. \u201cThe original tincture was made from the thoroughly ripened fruit, great pains being taken to \nthoroughly macerate t he seeds as well as the pulp.\u201d The rheumatic and con gestive symptoms were mostly \nproduced by the 3x, the nervous symptoms mostly by the 30x. \nRoberts remarked that the natives of Mexico and California eat quantities of the ripe fruit to prevent \nrheumatism. The right deltoid was very markedly affected and should make Lycpr. a companion to Sang, in \nshoulder pains. \nHeadaches were intense and characteristic in some, great soreness remained after the pain had gone.  \nDark-complexioned people seem to be suited to its action from two cases recorded by Roberts. \nThe first case concerned a widow, 50, dark complexion, large, stout, gray eyes.
