TUMORS OF THE VULVA.
ENCYSTED AND SEROUS TUMORS.- These tumors are painless and not very common. They are circumscribed, semitransparent and from being scarcely perceptible, may grow to the size of a fist. They contain a glairy, colorless, or thick yellowish fluid; or, in some instances, an unhealthy saints or dark-colored purulent matter. Unless from the inconvenience which may result from their larger growth, they are not of so much importance of themselves, as from the fact that they indicate some more serious disorder in the anterior organs of generation.
From hernia, encysted tumors may be distinguished by being incapable of reduction; by their not being changed in size by the different states of the bowel; and by their affording no gurgling or rumbling sound. When they break spontaneously they show an indisposition to heal, but may contain to discharge an irritating matter.
Encysted tumors of the external genitals of the female, seldom require surgical interference from a Homoeopathic practitioner. Their reabsorption or removal, and at the same time the radical cure of the morbid condition from which they originate, being usually quite practical with Homoeopathic remedies.
In Cysts of the vulva, Encysted and Serous Tumors, the following remedies should be especially studied.
Baryta carb. Is especially suitable for dwarfish women. Tearing in the vulva, or in the affected parts, so violent at intervals that she would like to scream.
Calcarea carb. In leucophlegmatic constitutions. Menses too often and too abundant. A constant aching of the parts, made worse by pressure. A sense of cold air passing over the part.

Hepar s.c. In cases where suppuration has taken place.
Kali carb. Stitching pains pass through the cyst, or through the parts near the cyst.
Nitric acid. In cases where a syphilitic taint is present. Itching of the part when walking or otherwise irritating it, when it feels very sore. A pricking pain prevails.
Sabina. The cyst becomes swollen, red, and painful to the touch, or there is tearing pain during rest.
Silicea. The suppuration is increased by motion. The part is very sensitive to the touch. In cases where the general characteristics of Silicea are present. All her symptoms are worse at the new moon.
Sulphur. In cases which present the general characteristics of this remedy. A very sore feeling, and disposition of the affected parts to excoriate., Both the flow of urine and the discharge of feces are painful to the parts over which they pass.
HYPERTROPHY OF THE LABIA. See Vulvitis.
ERECTILE TUMORS, or enlargement and hypertrophy of the vascular tissues of the external genitals form complications requiring general and constitutional treatment. Every exciting influence should be removed from such cases, as far as possible; then perfect rest; and the remedies must be selected with especially reference to all the symptom of the patient, and to the whole history of her case. For these delicate, sensitive and exceedingly irritable and exposed parts may be made the outlet for all the constitutional dyscrasia of the system. Thus difficulties of this kind, and other structural diseases of the external genitals of the female, sometimes appear at once small, insignificant and absolutely incurable by all ordinary treatment. To the Homoeopathic practitioner, the reason is obvious; the method plain and, in many instances, the means at hand. He will give the remedy appropriate to the psoric miasm, which personally or hereditarily infests his patient, and all these minor but vexatious and sometimes painfully distressing local affections will vanish at once.- instead of developing with advancing years into malignant and incurable forms of disease.
