Let us know when to use CEDRON 

Dr. CLARKE mentions a snake bite case which shows the power of Cedron over snake bites and bites of poisonous animals:

Hellert was bitten by a coral snake. "During the few seconds which it took him to take the antidote out of the little bag which he wore suspended round his neck, he was siezed with violent pains at the heart and throat; but he had scarcely chewed and swallowed a small portion of Cedron, of the size of a small bean, when the pain ceased as by magic. 

An oppression and general prostration remained. He chewed another portion of the same fruit, and applied it to the wound externally, and in another quarter of an hour all he felt was a slight colic, which disappeared after eating a little. 

This colic was followed almost immediately by a copious evacuation of a substance that looked like curdled milk, white, with a slightly yellowish tint" 

The great characteristic of Cedron is a clock-like periodicity in the recurrence of the symptoms; accurately periodic neuralgias; intermittent fever commencing the same hour every day or every other day. 

In fever there is: Red face in hot stage; thirst with desire for warm drinks. 

Profuse perspiration. 

"Excitement before chill" is peculiar to Cedr. 

Fevers of low, marshy regions in warm seasons and tropical countries.
