Vertigo on \nstooping and turning head rapidly. \nCOMMENTS - J. H. Schultze, when suf fering from toothache, took some of the Staphysagria seed in his \nmouth, but it gave him such a violent exacerbation that he thought he should go mad. \nBrunton noted that the seed was called \u201can exterminator of vermin\u201d by the Greeks and as such it enters into \nthe composition of an ointment (unguentum pediculosum). This last is the only use of Staph, known to orthodox \nmedicine. \nTeste remarked that Staph., like Cocc., is used in some countries for the purpose of stupefying fish. Teste \nfound Staph. 6c, like Cocc., useful as a remedy for seasickness. To be successful, Staph, had to be taken at \nthe moment when dizziness and nausea commenced, before vomiting set in and it always helped \u201cnervous \npersons, not over fat and disposed to sadness.\u201d \nStaph, produced in Teste a \u201clong lasting vertigo, accompanied by continued nausea as in sea -sickness\u201d and \n\u201cvertigo, which ceases on rapidly turning round on one\u2019s heel.\u201d \nThis corresponds with one of Hahne mann\u2019s symptoms, \u201cwheeling vertigo, especially while sitting, better by \nwalking about in a circle.\u201d \nIt is noteworthy that Staph, and Cocc. are both head remedies and both effec tive against head lice. Both also \naffect the genitals, Staph, more so, and are remedies for crab lice. \nAn application of one part a dilution of the tincture to four parts water will destroy the parasites, although \nconcurrent internal treatment (probably with a dilution of the same rem edy) increases success. \nIn Teste\u2019s experience, Staph, was no less effective in nausea during pregnancy than nausea caused by \nseasickness. Tab. is an other remedy for sickness and Teste cured with Staph, effects of tobacco smoking \n(excoriated tongue, stomach pain) and the habit of \u201cswallowing the tobacco smoke.\u201d \nFor anger and for the effects of anger, especially if the indignation cannot have its natural expression. \u201cWas \ninsulted, being too dignified to fight, swallowed his wrath and went home sick, trembling and exhausted.\u201d \nGreat sensitiveness to the least impression, \u201cthe least word that seems wrong, hurts her very much.\u201d Sensitive \nto criticism.

C. Majumdar gives two cases in which loss of memory following masturbation and seminal emissio ns was \ncured with Staph. 30c.
