Indicated not only in herpes zoster but in all illnesses which include pustule formation, in cystic acne, impetigo and suppura- tions of all kinds, also in severe toxic states and highly febrile, septic illnesses (in combined injection with Vaccininum, etc.), and in post-vaccinial encephalitis (with Arsenicum Album, Baptisia, Zincum).

Consequences of excitement, overwork. Insomnia. Waking with fear and gagging. Restlessness with compulsive motion.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Valeriana officinalis, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for valeriana: insomnia with restlessness; nervous disorders; sciatica.

The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from smallpox vaccine (Lancy-Vaccina Sec).

Also known as Vaccinotoxinum (Julian).

In cases of over-reaction following smallpox vaccination, Vaccininum may be used in a combined injection with Variolinum. Otherwise it is indicated for headaches, exogenous depression, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, iritis, purulent rhinitis, rheumatic polyarthritis, rheumatic pareses, post-vaccinial nephritis with albumin- uria and haematuria, menorrhagia, chicken pox, and particularly in herpes zoster and herpes simplex (combined injection with Variolinum).

May be used generally in severe toxic states and in septic illnesses.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Vaccininum-Nosode, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for vaccininum: sequelae of smallpox vaccinations; inflammatory skin dis- eases; headaches.

The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh leaves or the fresh leaves with young shoots of the plant Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng., a native of Europe and North America. N.O. Ericaceae.

The main indications are:

Cystitis, pyelitis. Urethritis. Incontinence of urine.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, pub- lished the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for uva ursi: inflammations of the urinary-tract collection system.

The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the womb removed from healthy pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus).

The main indications are:

Uterine prolapse. Uterine fibroids. Dysmenorrhoea. Pre-cancerous state of the uterus. Cervical erosion. Female sterility. Other degenerative diseases of the uterus.

The mother tincture is prepared from the aerial parts of the fresh plant in flower of Urtica urens L., a very commonly occurring weed in gardens and on agricultural land in Europe, Asia and America. N.O. Urticaceae.

Urticaria. Galactorrhoea.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Urtica urens, published the fol- lowing indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for urtica: urticarial skin diseases; renal disorders; gout.

The attenuations are prepared from Uric acid, C₅H₄N₄O₃, MW: 168.1.

Uric acid is at the centre of the intermediate metabolism of the nucleic acids. Ex- ogenous uric acid has its origins in the foodstuffs, whilst endogenous uric acid aris- es from the continual shedding of cells. Thus one can always use Uric Acid if dis- turbances occur in the breakdown of the nucleic acids, and thus also in gouty symp- toms (cf. Colchicum etc.) One may also think of Uric Acid prophylactically in cases of extreme carnivorous diet.

General indications are: disturbances in the intermediate uric acid metabolism, and, experimentally, also in gout.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum uricum, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for acidum uricum: gout.

The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the urethra removed from healthy pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus).
