    MENSTRUATIOiN TOO SHORT. Most of the remedies mentioned under menstruation too soon and too scant may be given with advantage in this aberration, when the attending symptoms correspond.

Aeon., when there are congestions to different parts of the body with shooting pains, especially about the heart and in the head; full and hard pulse; desire to be in the cool air; the patient is worse in a warm room; the discharge is bright red and for the most part fluid, but coagulates readily. Chin., paleness of the face; dark colored under the eyes; obscuration of sight, or black spots before the eyes; roaring in the ears; pulsations in the head and neck; nocturnal head- ache; sleeplessness or disturbed sleep; nervous excitability; frequent desire to pass water; pains like labour; weakness- and heaviness in the limbs; swelling of the feet. lgn., is serviceable if the discharge continues too long and the next period is attended with hysterics, yawning and choking. The medicine should be given on the fourth day of menstruation, and repeated in a day or two; and again on the third day of the next period. Nux vom., when the menses return too soon and continue 1.00 long; giddiness; constipation; nausea and faintness; the symptoms are generally worse in the morning; dragging .bout the loins with bearing down in the pelvis; cramp-like lains in the abdomen, extending downwards to the thighs.
