General

Caroba. Bignonia caroba. Jacaranda Braziliensis. N. O. Bignoniaceæ. Tincture of fresh flowers.

Clinical

Balanorrhœa. Chancre. Chordee. Gonorrhœa. Gonorrhœal rheumatism. Muscular rheumatism. Phimosis. Syphilis.

Characteristics

Several species of Jacaranda ("especially J. procera ," says the Treasury of Botany ) have the reputation of being curative in syphilis. Mure proved J. caroba , and the symptoms of the proving certainly point to this. Hering gives these symptoms as having been confirmed: "Contact of urine with chancre = tearing pains, which affect whole organism." "Prepuce much swollen, could not be drawn over glans; on attempting to do so, copious discharge of yellowish green pus." "Chordee in gonorrhœa." "Dull pain under sternum on raising head and drawing breath." Among other symptoms noted are: Lancinations in the heart. Rheumatic pains in the limbs. Itching at anus. Mahony has confirmed these symptoms: "Food tastes insipid; nausea during eating ." Motion < . Symptoms come on when walking; raising head; sitting. J. S. Whittinghill ( H. R ., xii. 279) has cured several cases of muscular rheumatism characterised by a peculiar soreness and stiffness of muscles in the morning < by any motion.
