NUX is pre-eminently the remedy for many of the conditions incident to modern life. The typical Nux patient is rather thin, spare, quick, active, nervous and irritable. He does a good deal of mental work; has mental strains and leads a sedentary life, found in prolonged office-work, over-study, and close application to business, with its cares and anxieties. This indoor life and mental strain seeks stimulants, coffee, wine, possibly in excess; or again, he hopes to quiet his excitement, by indulging in the sedative effects of tobacco if not really a victim to the seductive drugs, like opium, etc. These things are associated with other indulgences: at table, he takes preferably rich and stimulating food; and wine and women play their part to make him forget the close application of the day. Late hours are a consequence; a thick head, dyspepsia, and irritable temper are the next day's inheritance. Now he takes some cathartic, liver pills, or mineral water, and soon gets into the habit of taking these things, which still further complicate matters. Since these frailties are more yielded to by men than women Nux is pre-eminently a male remedy (Br.).
These conditions (just mentioned) produce an irritable nervous system, hyper-sensitive and over-impressionable, which Nux will do much to soothe and calm (Br.).

STRYCHNINE is the principal alkaloid of Nux Vomica (as well Ignatia) Bean. It is so intensely bitter that 1 part in 600000 can be detected by the taste.
GENERAL ACTION OF STRYCHNINE.-The motor centres of the spinal cord are powerfully irritated, and hence their reflex excitability is enormously increased; the medulla is also stimulated and the respiratory centre is increased in activity, causing increased frequency and depth of movements of the chest; peristalsis is increased. It produces a condition very much like tetanus (D.).
