Jatropha is one of the most active of the Euphorbians and strongly resembles Croton in its action, especially in the urgent gushing stools and the irritation and pimples of the skin. One of the most notable characteristics of Jatropha is the very marked and peculiar gurgling it causes: "Much noise in abdomen as if a bottle was being emptied, followed later by a thin stool." " Sudden desire for stool, and constant noises as of liquids in abdomen, especially on left side." The diarrhœa is very often associated with coldness; with mottled blue surface; with cold sweat. At times the purging is accompanied by copious (and easy) vomiting of watery albuminous ropy liquid. Sudden desire for stool is marked. Water is almost immediately vomited. It corresponds more to the earlier than the collapse stage of cholera. Cramps are predominant; griping cutting pains; sensation as if balls were rolling together in abdomen. The patient writhes about in bed with pain. Kent ( H. P ., vi. 355) describes the sphere of Jatr . in cholera thus: "The characteristic is a rice-water discharge; it has vomiting and purging; more or less sweat; more or less cramps; suppression of urine, the great prostration, syncope and rapid onset peculiar to cholera; and it has this to differentiate it from all other remedies — the vomit and purging and evacuations are thick, albuminous, lumpy, instead of thin and watery ." Walking in open air < rumbling; = pain in heels; > headache. Open air > headache; = rumbling. In room, headache < . Patient seeks to cool himself by throwing off covers and lying on ground. Touch and pressure < . At night: mouth dry; itching between toes. After midnight: profuse watery diarrhœa. In morning: stools < headache; metallic, bloody taste; much spitting of saliva. Summer diarrhœa, occurring suddenly.

Antidote to its effects: placing hands in cold water. Compare: Euphorbiaceæ, especially Croton, Euphorb. coroll. In cholera, Verat. (Verat. has more pain and more pronounced collapse; it has not the albuminous vomiting of Jatr. nor so much rumbling). Ars. (vomits water as soon as drunk). Elat. (gushing, noisy stools).
