Linaria Vulgaris.
This drug acts powerfully upon the sympathetic nerves. It may be serviceable in fainting of cardiac origin when the patient faints dead away without apparent cause. Linaria has repeatedly produced this symptom. It is true that there is some difficulty in confirming such a symptom as this, because, in most cases, the patient quickly returns to consciousness without recourse to any remedy. But if a patient who is subject to attacks of fainting of this kind is not only relieved but is cured by taking the drug, you know that this is the result of the remedy.
It also has some action upon the bladder, causing and also curing enuresis with painful urging to urinate.
