CASE II.—Mrs. M. E. C, age fifty-six, presented herself with a sensation of swelling in the throat accompanied by stinging pain, and with a history of from one to a dozen attacks of suffocation each twenty-four hours, much worse at night; otherwise no soreness of the throat or special sickness preceding these attacks, but they have been fairly constant for a year. She had become suspicious of the trouble being cancer, and, after having had some months of treatment from her family physician, she was more impressed with the fact than ever. Examination revealed nothing in the way of foreign growth, but very much enlarged varicose veins at the base of the tongue, with a granular pharynx. Prognosis was favorable and the treatment as follows: Glycerole of iodine to the pharynx and base of tongue, following cleansing and antiseptic solutions; galvano-cautery destroying the largest of the blood vessels, and moschus 3x internally. A complete cure resulted in less than thirty days; complete cessation of all attacks, which, of course, proved the diagnosis to be other than any malignant trouble, and, although the local treatment was probably efficacious, I believe that much of the trouble was of a neurotic type, incident to the climacteric, and that moschus deserves a good deal of credit for the result. THREE KALI CARBONICUM CASES. BY THOMAS M. STEWART, M. D., CINCINNATI, OHIO. CASE I.—Patient, a tall thin woman; dark hair and eyes. Badly nourished as a result of mal-assimilation of food. Troubled with frequent attacks of styes on the upper right eyelid. Patient anæmic. Complained of frequent chilliness; chilly on least exposure. Physically and mentally patient was exhausted. Some improvement was secured by correcting an eye trouble with glasses. Nux vomica, psorinum, and hepar of course acted indifferently. On a later visit the case was cleared up by the mention of the chilly sensation and the exhaustion. Kali carbonicum began an improvement and carried the case on to a point where diet did the rest. The woman’s means were limited, but she was able to carry out the diet direction, because her principal articles of diet had been meat and eggs. She was getting too much nitrogen. A generous supply of the carbo-hydrates; a direction to drink plenty of water, but not at meal times; and more exercise in the open air changed the conditions to healthful ones. CASE II.—A young woman, well nourished, but not muscularly strong. Catches cold easily and is readily exhausted by muscular exertion. Sensation of a lump in the throat, with stitching sensation at each cold. With each cold has some cough, due largely to an elongated uvula. With each cold must “hawk” a great deal in the mornings to “clear the throat.” The patient was a vocalist and suffered frequently from these acute colds and hoarseness.
