Find the Remedy's Name

Here are excerpts from various materia medica of this remedy:
The patient has great depression of spirits; there is an absence of
mind; he imagines that he hears some one talking; he is fearful and
apprehensive of some fatal disease; he dreads being left alone lest
something terrible might happen. Running all through this remedy there
is fear or dread of rain.
For ozena, should be used when there is offensive discharge from the
nose and throat which smells like fish brine. The posterior portion of
the throat is covered with a dry, greenish yellow scab extending up into
the nose. Pains from the root of the nose to the ears on swallowing;
sense of smell is gone. Bleeding of the nose on blowing it; the blood
discharged is blood-black in color, flows in a steady stream and is copious.
Ulceration of the throat worse on the left side, with difficulty in
swallowing liquids, occurring five or six times a year and lasting two
or three weeks at a time; attacks brought on by exposure to rain or
wind; patient dislikes wet weather, aside from the throat affection.
Never feels well in wet weather.
We find also great hunger, but inability to eat on account of the
peculiar sensations in the throat and esophagus; in the esophagus there
is a sensation as of a sponge, which when food or drink is taken,
expands and prevents swallowing. We have also violent thirst, but this
same inability to even swallow liquids. There is a desire for sweets
and buttermilk with many of these affections.
This last symptom is rather a peculiar one, and I believe is found under
no other remedy. After drinking cold drinks they lie like ice in the
stomach and cause a cold feeling in the chest.
Has very marked black discharges; esp.hemorrhages.Cold things disagree.
Sensation of internal coldness in chest, stomach, aggravated after cold
drinks.
We notice that this remedy seriously affects the auditory, nasal, and
the throat passages, and is consequently curative in many affections of
those regions.
All the discharges of this remedy are black, and this is so prominent
that we can call this a characteristic symptom. Thus in the epistaxis
the blood is black. the blood from he uterus too is dark colored. Even
the wax from the ear is dark.
After drinking cold drinks lie like ice in stomach, and cause cold
feeling in chest.
Metrorrhagia; discharge of very dark colored liquid and clots, but
mostly liquid, and varies from half a pound to two or three pounds in
twenty-four hours;
Worse: Approach of storms.
Depressed; imagines he hears someone talking; dreads to be left alone;
Fear of rain.
