ENURESIS.
A boy of seven years was suddenly seized with
nocturnal incontinence of urine. This incontinence was repeated five or
six times a night. The mother expressed her astonishment at this, as her
child had never before shown this feebleness of the bladder. One dose or
Psorinum 30 produced a cure of this incontinence by the next day.
EPILEPSY.
An able architect, aged thirty-one years, is the
first assistant of the celebrated architect Wallot, who has built our
Reichstagsgebaeude, an edifice which would have been splendid, but for
too frequent a change of directors.In his infancy he had been epileptic. In the
twenty-sixth year of his life he had to undergo severe mental work in
competing for the Architects’ Travelling Prize, and during this time
he suffered from opisthotonic convulsions which were very painful.
During his two years of traveling, he had no attacks, though he worked
every day eight hours.Having returned to Dresden and resumed his work, he
was again attacked this disease and I was then called in. He was in bed
and complained that he had been frightened by furious dreams. Every time
he fell asleep, he would wake up with a start and with palpitations. In
sitting up, he had a severe pain in the back part of the head. The skin
in front was wrinkled, which gave him a fierce and fantastic appearance.
Muscular contractions in the nape of the neck, alternating with the
muscles of the back, caused a very painful headache. His face was always
very red without fever.Calcarea Carb.30 brought a complete cure. I saw him
again a few days ago, and he told me that he had not any more attacks,
though he had to work very strenuously, because his chief was then
having his vacation. He congratulated me on my success and thanked me
for the cure I had effected.
COUGH.
Mr. X, in a rainy bivouac during the manoeuvres in
the year 1885, had been taken with a nervous cough, which seemed to
start from a clearly localized spot, but this could not be determined
even by a very careful examination. The cough had a peculiar sound, as
if he wished to call some one, so that passers-by would turn back to
him.According to the advice of one of the best
homoeopaths in Germany, Dr. Ide in Stettin, Pomerania, with whom I had
an opportunity of speaking during a consultation to which I was called
in Stettin, I gave him Medorrhinum 1000, a single dose, and bade him
watch its effect. Next day he did not cough any more and the remnant of
an old gonorrhoea, a constant heat in the urethra and pain during
micturition, which had already lasted for twelve years, all vanished as
if by magic.All this effect was produced in twenty-four hours and
there was no need of repeating the dose. At present the emission of
urine takes place with the greatest ease.(Courtesy :
