Hours and mood

Three single-remedy rubrics are tied to particular times of day: unconsciousness at 1 p.m. and cheerfulness at 5 p.m., listed in the forenoon as well as in the afternoon. The fourth concerns irritability from sexual excesses. Cheerfulness is at the center of the more frequent rubrics, as is sadness; added are morose mood, irritability, and mental symptoms during the menses.

Anxiety

The two small rubrics are narrowly defined: anxiety in regard to the heart and anxiety after soup.

Summary

The rubrics show a mood that swings between cheerfulness and sadness and seems tied to fixed hours. The material offers no more.
