A young man (twenty-eight) called on me for treatment. I found a gleety discharge, entirely painless, gluing the meatus in the morning. He had contracted gonorrhoea several months before, and it had nearly stopped discharging. Five years ago he had an attack of gonorrhoea which resulted in producing a stricture for which he had been operated on. I could only pass a No. 8 bougie at this time.
The symptoms upon which to base a prescription were: Slight painless discharge, gluing the meatus; sickly, sallow face; constipation, sour stomach, general debility.
He took Sepia cm, one dose, dry; then Sac. Lac.
The next night he sent a note, saying he was very sick; to please send him medicine; that the discharge had come back.
I sent him Sac. Lac., requesting him to come to the office as soon as possible.
He called in a few days, he said the medicine sent him gave great relief. The discharge was profuse, thick and yellow. Sac Lac. was given, and advised to call in a week.
Next call; Discharge yellowish green; some pain on micturition; night sweats. bone pains; worse during the perspirations; had a chill during night.
Mercurius sol. 6000 in water every three hours for twenty four hours and Sac. Lac.
One week later; Symptoms all improved; discharge diminished. Mercurius.sol. 6000, one dose; then Sac. Lac.
One week later; Discharge nearly gone; feeling well; Possesses as large a stream of urine as ever. He took one dose a week of Mercurius so]. 6000.
At the end of the three months passed a No. 14 bougie. No discharge. He is in good health. The bougie passed without effort. The two remedies had completely cured the stricture and the treatment was painless. Could anything have been more satisfactory?.
