ANISUM STELLATUM.
Both the illicium anisatum and the millefolium, which have been
introduced into our practice empirically, will undoubtedly become
important adjuncts in the homœopathic materia medica, the former in
gastric affections, the latter in those of the chest. We publish the
following symptoms in the hope of facilitating their employment in the
treatment of disease.

sleep. Bloating of the stomach. 5. Retention of urine. Pain in the loins.

from the abdomen to the stomach and chest, shifting about here and there,
and decreases in the course of the day. 15. Rumbling in the abdomen. Acid
stomach. Satiety after eating but little. Nausea. Uncertain pains in the
head. The pains are less in the evening and worse in the morning. Flow of
saliva. Watery discharge from the nostrils. 20. The stools are compact
and dark-colored. Drowsy at twilight. Pain at the spleen. Heat at the
navel and in the œsophagus. Violent erections. Nocturnal emissions. 25.
