Tall, slim young man, age eighteen. Very spare. Tuberculosis parentage. Temperature 991 /(>). Cachectic aspect. Pulse 100 to 110. Varying. Right knee sore, painful when letting limb hang down. Has been ill with inflammatory rheumatism many months. Seems declining. The paucity of symptoms and generalities persuaded the giving of Psorinum hoping to develop the case.

Psorinum 42m cured the whole case, and the young man remains well and is thriving perfectly.

Several homoeopathic remedies had been given and still he was declining, was an additional reason for Psorinum

The cure of the young man is of itself good work, but the important lesson is the relation of Psor to the knees and probably the right, which was speedy, and the aggravation from letting the limb hang down.

James Tyler Kent
James Tyler Kent (1849–1916) was an American physician. Prior to his involvement with homeopathy, Kent had practiced conventional medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. He discovered and "converted" to homeopathy as a result of his wife's recovery from a serious ailment using homeopathic methods.
In 1881, Kent accepted a position as professor of anatomy at the Homeopathic College of Missouri, an institution with which he remained affiliated until 1888. In 1890, Kent moved to Pennsylvania to take a position as Dean of Professors at the Post-Graduate Homeopathic Medical School of Philadelphia. In 1897 Kent published his magnum opus, Repertory of the Homœopathic Materia Medica. Kent moved to Chicago in 1903, where he taught at Hahnemann Medical College.
