CASE1
A printer, aged twenty years, has
Ingrowing
nail on the right large toe.
Toe swollen,
ulcerating around the margin of the nail.
All the nails of hands and feet are thick and
brittle.
The skin on hands is very dry; in cold
weather it cracks and bleeds.
Slight injuries to
the skin ulcerate a long time.
Foot sweat profuse and offensive.
1889, Oct. 10. Graphites 2c B. and T., one powder.
Oct. 24. The
ulceration has healed and toe not painful. It has given him no trouble since
then, three years, although it had annoyed for several years before the
prescription. It seems needless to state that his general condition was greatly
improved.
Another case
- Which remedy has
these oozing, sticky secretions, bleeding crusts and cracks?
- Graphites.
- So I gave Graphites but he didn't react, not at all.
- Then I looked all
over his file again and read everything, from the beginning on, and then the
remedy was clear.
