Rectum and Anus
Determination of blood to the anus after drinking wine. (The protrusion of the anus during evacuation, habitual to him, was very quickly, and to a considerable degree, diminished for several weeks), (only returned on resuming coffee and wine). (A more comfortable feeling in the anus than is usual with him; in one subject to piles), (second day). Constriction of the anus in attempting to emit flatulence. He feels as if wind was retained in the anus. Within and around the anus, violent itching (fifteenth and sixteenth days); continues around the anus until the fifth week. Indefinite desire, small odorless wind, and pappy evacuation at 10 A.M. (fourth day); after small, excessively fetid discharges of flatus, a sudden urging, then a thin, pappy passage without any odor, and at the same time a very copious discharge or urine, before dinner; he had eaten peaches before, which however, never acted that way; and after the passage, a better appetite than usual (eighth day); he observed the tertian type the second, fourth (sixth), and eighth days; the evacuation is more regular than usual (fifth week). Ineffectual desire for a passage in the evening (eighth day). Hasty pressure for a passage, as in diarrhoea, and a soft evacuation, at 2 P.M. (five hours after fourth dose); was formerly very regular in his bowels; passage protracted and very small (next day) on omitting the remedy.
Stool
Diarrhoea. Inclination to diarrhoea, two passages (first day). (The soft, small passage, which he has every morning after drinking coffee, and again late in the evening, with ineffectual urging and protrusion of hemorrhoids, changes after four to five days into copious natural evacuations). Free evacuation of the bowels twice a day. Two hard passage (second day). His passage is more loose than common. A large, pappy, yellowish-brown passage, of a very strong disagreeable smell of faeces, together with tenesmus, to which the prover is liable, although less protrusion of the anus than formerly (second day). Constipation. Constipated (second day), (part of S.207). Constipated for two days (after 10 drops 1/16th). Stool delayed and very scanty (after omitting the remedy). (the passages (from the bowels) seems to occur every other day, and every day at a later hour). The evacuation (from the bowels) becomes protracted, insufficient, and lumpy. (During a stool, some nodules were at last pressed out with some difficulty), (seventeenth day). No passage (third day).
Urinary Organs
Bladder. A sensation some what resembling numbness or burning in the bladder (part of S.550). After urination, a pain as if it were above the neck of the bladder in the afternoon. Before and after urination, a pain in the lower part of the bladder; there is also pain on pressure (first and second days). Dull pains in the region of the bladder (first week). Dragging towards the bladder, with feeling of warmth in the abdomen (first day). Urethra. An intolerable burning in the urethra, during and after urination, for five minutes, in the morning (ninth day), (in one who never had gonorrhoea). Frequent desire to pass water after several days. Micturition. Free discharge of light-colored urine, very frequent, of sufficiently large, but not increased quantity, leaving him more comfortable; during and after the discharge he feels a kind of elasticity (in the muscles?), of the urinary organs, with a subsequent agreeable sensation; he drinks less than usual. Has to get up twice at night to void his urine, which is quite unusual with him; the night is cooler than the previous ones (fifth day). More urination, and afterwards more thirst (fifth day). Urine much increased, and of a clear color, after several days. Copious evacuation of urine, with the diarrhoea. Very copious discharge of urine (part of S.307). Less urination the next morning. Decidedly less voiding of urine, but the urine is not of a darker color (second and third days). The urine has diminished in quantity, and has a decided fragrance (like Benzoic acid), in the evening and morning (second day); disappeared fifth day. Urine. Pungent and strong odor of the urine, which was freely discharged, in the evening (fourth day). A very acrid and strong odor of the urine (fifteenth and sixteenth days). His urine frequently smells very offensive, as far as the sixth weeks. His habitual whitish sediment in the urine is also mixed with a very copious purple-colored one (third day); its purple-colored sediment disappeared fifth day.
Sexual Organs
Male. Erections, with desire and voluptuousness. The first erections again of very long duration, and quite healthy nature, and without sexual desire (eleventh morning). Frequently a complete and quite natural erection during perfect health; as soon as his thoughts are removed from it, it entirely disappears more rapidly and suddenly then usual (fourth day). Sensation of fullness in both spermatic cords (first evening). Drawing from the left testicle to the spermatic cord. Occasionally stitches and drawing through the left testicle to the abdominal ring and spermatic cord (after four hours). Sexual desire increased during the action of Fluoricum acidum. Sexual passion increased, with erections at night during sleep. Great excitement of the sexual desire (sixteenth day). Almost irresistible attack of lasciviousness, more in the case of old than young men. Lascivious thoughts now and then during fifth and sixth weeks, so that he must force himself to think of other things. Highly excessive enjoyment and pleasure during coition, which was not the case before. Sexual passion more easily controlled (first week). Diminished sexual desire in various degrees. Sexual desire lost, or more easily controlled (first week). It seemed as if his sexual desire was disappearing for several weeks (sixth, seventh, and following days); he is complete master of his thoughts and sensations. While thinking in a perfectly chaste and pleasant way about a girl whom he considers beautiful, there passed some drops of prostatic fluid. Seminal discharge not so quick and early as usual, but free and without any bad after-feeling. Female. The monthly period occurred eight days too soon, and was more copious, but, instead of six to seven days, lasted only five; discharge thick and coagulated. The succeeding catamenia take place again at the regular period, according to the former calculation.
Respiratory Organs
Larynx. Pain in the forepart of the larynx, as if it were in the cartilage, inducing him to swallow (after ninety minutes). Spasmodic sensation, extending from the malar bone to the larynx. Scraping sensation in the larynx provokes hawking and swallowing. Increased irritability of the larynx; whilst coughing or hawking slightly, there arises a sensation of soreness, which causes an unusual degree of sensitiveness, very soon. Immediately a slight itching sensation in the larynx, which causes him to swallow and to hawk, lasting for hours (2 drops). Respiration. Breathing continued after the radial pulse had failed, and even after the action of the heart had apparently ceased. Wheezing during respiration, observed more by others than himself, in the afternoon and evening; in the afternoon on the bed, on which occasion he has to bend backwards, if he wants to take a full breath (sixth week). He often breathes deeply, as if the breast within and below was full, in the forenoon, during sitting and writing (twelfth day). A kind of oppression of breath deep internally; he is obliged to breathe deeply, which, however, gives no relief (ninth day). Difficulty of breathing; there seems to be an impediment in the region of the pit of the throat and upper part of the chest, as though he did not get air enough; at the same time itching pimples on the back, and pain in the chest below the point of the shoulder-blade (ninth day).
Chest
Throbbing, as with the pulse, on feeling the chest. Soreness in the chest (after three hours). The whole upper part of the chest, deep internally, though more towards the front, seems too tight, so that inspiration is impeded; deep inspiration does not afford relief; it is not like a pressure and not like a constriction; it feels as though something remained fixed there (seventh and following days). Oppression, with pain in the chest (after four hours). Oppression in the chest on reclining, at the same time a trembling in the lower extremities. Sticking under the ribs to the left of the ensiform cartil in the evening (after fifteen minutes). Front. Pressure in the centre of the sternum in the middle of the chest, which lasts until he falls asleep (first day), Sides. Pressing pain in the last rib, towards the right, near the spine (after one hour). Burning-sticking pain in the left side of the chest, lasting only a moment (after smelling the acid). A pain, as if a stitch would appear deep in the left side of the chest, posteriorly to the heart (after two hours). Small stitches in the side (after four hours). On rising in the morning, pain again in the left side of the chest, similar to the one he felt the evening before. Slight pain close to the right nipple (after one hour). Throbbing, like a pulsation, on feeling the breast and abdomen.
