I told him homoeopathy would give him a far better chance than surgery, and he put himself under my care.
Rx. Tuberc. test. 100, three doses to go over a fortnight. June 28. Testicles very much better; less swollen; discharge ceased; no pain.
Repeat. From this point improvement was steady and pronounced. On July 15 he reported: “Fistula from left testis healed. Right fistula nearly healed.” In August nocturnal emissions recurred, thus falsifying the surgeon’s prognosis.

Sept. 30, 1904. One week had headache over right eye. An abscess has burst without pain and is discharging.
Rx Tuberc. k. 30. Oct. 24. Swelling gone down. Right testicle nearly normal; left testicle has still much hardness in epididymis.

Rx Bac. test. 100. Dec. 5, 1904. Has had influenza again. Pain in chest some days. Testes tender.

After this the fistula remained permanently healed, and the testicles steadily became more normal. He required no further treatment on their account.
