There are but few remedies in the entire materia medica having "impaired memory" as so marked a characteristic. In restoring the memory, it often cures the patient of all other troubles. Hypochondriasis; some forms of insanity.
MENTAL –
Forgetfulness and loss of memory very strongly marked; soon forgets everything; consciousness of forgetfulness takes away the appetite. Feels as if blasphemous words were being constantly suggested, with desire to curse and swear. Fixed ideas: that he is double; there is no reality in anything, all appears like a dream; that the mind and body are separated; that a stranger is constantly by his side, one to the right, the other to the left; her husband is not her husband, her child not hers; fondles, then pushes them away. Constantly talking in senseless, stupid phrases. Merriment extreme, laughs where should be sober. Frequently screams loudly, as if to call some one; so furious, has to be restrained. Hypochondriasis. When walking, feels as if some one were pursuing; suspects every one around, and is constantly apprehending trouble from everything, which gives him no peace. Has no confidence in himself that he can do what is required of him. Two different influences seem to be exerted upon him at the same time, one to do murder and the other, to do good. Very easily offended, becomes quarrelsome, abusive, malicious and cruel. Weakness of all the senses.
HEAD –
Sensation as of a plug pressing on the upper border of right orbit, stupefying all that side of the head; sometimes this pressure is felt on left side of the vertex. Digging and throbbing pain along right side of head, relieved when eating or when falling to sleep--worse during motion. Pressing pain in the top or other parts of the head, aggravated by coughing or deep inspirations. Gastric and nervous headaches, with mental symptoms.
