🎯 It acts primarily on the cartilages, bones, and ligaments, as well as the larynx, causing a gradual wasting and weakness.
📖 Boericke writes:
Emaciation, a gradual drying up, desire for fresh air, dyspnoea, sensation of expansion and left-sided pains are characteristic. The chief action is centered on the articulations and their component elements, bones, cartilages, and ligament's. Here the small blood vessels become closed up or withered and carious affections result. They come on insidiously, lingering, but progress. The larynx is also a special center for this drug.
