W. Gordon and G. H. Royal gave the homeopathic data. Royal\u2019s provers took \n3x and 30x. Gordon took repeated doses of 10 to 50 drops. Royal had this indication for Scut, given to him by \na friend: \u201cNervo-bilious headache with the nervous symptoms uppermost and nothing the matter  with her.\u201d \nHe related the case of Miss M., 32, who was the head of a large school, complained of being used up, unable \nto sleep or think. Pain in head almost constant, sometimes frontal, mostly at base of brain.  \nWhenever called upon to overdo herself, she  could not sleep that night and then there is either a nervous \nexplosion the following day or a nervous sick headache, either being followed by complete collapse. \nThis was in May. Pic-ac. and later Phos- ac., gave relief and in September the patient resume d work. Late in \nDecember there was another breakdown, and Stych-p. was given. \nA week later after a very long and fatiguing day\u2019s work, Royal was summoned at 2 a.m. He found the patient \nscreaming. Every few minutes she had to urinate and passed only a few drops. Stools frequent, loose, watery. \nPulse irregular. \nScut, was given, ten drops every half -hour. Patient was better after the second dose, slept after the fourth. \nSince then she kept the medicine by her, but only took it when overworked. She never had an other nerve \nexplosion or headache. In this case there was \u201cnothing the matter with her\u201d i.e., no organic defect to which the \nsufferings could be attributed. \nHale quoted many eclectic writers who give various indications King mentioned depression of nervous  and \nvital powers after long sickness, over -exercise, over-study, long-continued and exhausting labors.

It was Burnett\u2019s chief remedy in the nervous debility after influenza.  \nScudder mentioned chorea, delirium tremens and hyd rophobia, as its popular name \u201cMad dog\u201d suggests. \nRafinesque cited cases of prevention of hydrophobia and Hale observed it produce in a patient taking it \n\u201cSpasmodic or constrictive closing of jaws and a tightness of the muscles of the face.\u201d \nA writer, quo ted in the N.
