Lady, thirty-four years old, mother of two children. Face marks much sickness, though flushed. Letter states: “I have always been troubled most with left side of my throat, but at present it is the right. A small lump will come and then enlarge until it reaches the tonsil. Then ulcers will come and fill both sides. The roof becomes very red, and there is dryness and choking. Dry choking compels coughing; difficult swallowing.” I further learned that this sore throat with ulceration has been coming just before menstruating for several years. It commences on one side and goes to the other. There has always been great swelling of the outside, sometimes the whole neck. The ulcers do not disappear until after the flow ceases; then a gradual subsiding; scarcely more than ten days of freedom from suffering. Leucorrhoeal discharge, white mucus before menses. She got Mag-carb. 45m, one dose, at the close of menstrual nisus. She has never had a recurrence of the trouble nor any sickness in its place. She has remained free from throat trouble now over two years.
