Anæmia. Cancer. Cholera. Eczema rubrum.

The symptoms of Anilinum have been observed on workpeople poisoned by inhalation of the fumes, and on persons who have worn aniline-dyed articles next the skin. The symptoms are in many respects like those of Arsenic. There are vomiting, purging, bursting headache, epileptiform attacks; cyanosis is very marked; swelling and irritation of the skin. In old-school practice injections of aniline blue have been used with some success to destroy cancerous growths, aniline having a marked affinity for cell nuclei, hence its use in staining microscopic specimens. In poisoning cases evacuants, the inhalation of oxygen, the free use of stimulants─brandy, ammonia, chloric ether─cold affusions to the head, and sinapisms on legs and thighs, have been used with success.
