Most writers agree that it specially affects the skin, causing itching, burning, and even eruption, with much perspiration, 1, 377.

Occasionally dulcamara gives rise to an erythematous eruption on the skin, a fact that should not be lost sight of in considering the efficacy of the medicine in cutaneous diseases, 10, 1: 952.

"It is now upwards of seven years since I first tried the Dulcamara for the cure of obstinate diseases of the skin. I was induced to do so by the perusal of a short, but well written practical essay on the subject, by the learned Professor of Botany in the University of Goettingen, Dr. Althoff. This gentleman relates ten cases of cutaneous eruption, which he describes as analogous to the itch, but not the true itch, all of which were cured by this remedy. He con-sses at the same time that it failed in a number of others. Professor Althoff and the other German physicians who employ it, seem to have taken their hint concerning it from the essay of Mons. Carrere on the Dulcamara.

"Out of twenty-three cases of Lepra Graecorum,* in which I have tried it, two only have resisted its action. All the others were completely cured. Crichton, 96, 145.
