Enlarged spleen left behind after ague.
Diagnosis.-Under the free ribs of the left side and the upper part of the abdomen of that side, there is a hard swelling, often the seat of pain. It is firm and resistant to pressure, and gives a dull note when percussed with the finger. It is formed by the enlarged spleen. It may be distinguished from all other tumours in this situation by the history of the patient. It is always clearly traceable to former attacks of ague, and generally to residence in malarial districts.
Medicines.-(Two or three times a day until relieved.)
Natrum mur. 6.-
The most useful generally.
Ceanothus I.-
When there is pain in the spleen.
