_Treatment._--_Mullein oil_ applied twice daily as a liniment. _Mercurius sol._ internally. In three days the soreness and pain had entirely disappeared, but the enlargement continued several days. He walked around with ease three or four days before swelling had diminished any. CASE IV.--F. C., aged thirty. Called November 16, 1888. Found inflammation of left kidney and of left testicle. Had been under treatment by another doctor and had recovered partially, but relapsed. Suffering much with pain in testicle, which ran up the spermatic cord and through to the left kidney. _Treatment._--_Cantharis_ and _Aconite_, as there was some fever. _Mullein oil_ applied to the testicle. Rapid improvement during the first twenty-four hours, and made a quick recovery. I have also cured a case of chronic inflammation of the eyes, and a case of chilblains from which the patient had suffered, during the winter, for about six years. * * * Every drug has its exact range. This one being new to the profession, we are just learning what it will do. In all these cases the _Mullein oil_ has had an outward application twice daily. A short time ago I was in Dodge city and was talking with a friend about the use of various remedies in veterinary practice, and amongst them I mentioned an almost instant cure of earache in a boy and also the same in a cat by the use of _Mullein oil_. He said: "Why do you homoeopaths use that? I used to have the well sweep full of bottles of mullein blossoms when I was a boy. We used the oil as a dressing for burns, and it was the best thing we could get." He also related to me the following case, which is of interest and may prove of great value: An old neighbor, a Mr. Kemmis, had spent a large amount of money treating with various physicians for what they pronounced a rose cancer and without any relief. An Indian squaw told him to use _Mullein oil_. He distilled it (as it is now prepared, by sun exposure), and for a short time bathed the cancer with the oil. The growth of the cancer was permanently checked, but was not healed. Mr. K. lived, perhaps, forty years after the treatment was used, and the cancer never again bothered him. MUCUNA URENS. NAT. ORD., Leguminosæ. COMMON NAME, Horse-eye. PREPARATION.--The pulverized bean is macerated in five times its weight of alcohol. (Delgado Palacios, of Venezuela, in 1897, wrote Messrs. Boericke & Tafel concerning this remedy): Reading the list of remedies of your "Physicians' Price Current," I was very much astonished to meet with the name _Dolichos pruriens_, which the greater and modern authorities in botanical matters consider an identical plant with _Mucuna urens_. You will meet the botanical description of _Mucuna urens_ and _altissima_ (two varieties) in the Flora of West Indian Islands, by A. H. R. Grisebach, p. 198 (Grisebach regards _Mucuna_ and _Dolichos_ as two different genus).
