Hyoscyamus Niger

 

Hyoscyamus is similar to Belladonna botanically, and in pathogenetic action the two drugs are much alike in their main features. But when examined closely their differences are sufficiently well marked. The delirium of Hyos. is more of the low, muttering type, whilst that of Bell. tends to be violent and furious. Hyos. also has fits of ungovernable rage, but the violence is not so sustained as that of Bell. Hyos. corresponds to a great variety of cases of melancholia than Bell., and here one great characteristic is “suspicion,” so frequently met with in cases of insanity or of those on the borderland. Hyos. is suited to nervous, irritable, excitable, sanguine people, to light-haired people.
