Cases
Miss, Nov. 8th, 1878. For three weeks, aching in the middle front of left lower leg (where she had varicose veins for eight months), when standing, or when leg is hanging down. Removed by placing it horizontally; frequent feeling of hot water running down affected part, but only when leg is down, at times throbbing there, when leg hangs down. Magnetis Australis, c.m., one dose.
1879, June 11th. Reports that the hot water feeling never returned, and the pain quite ceased in two days. – Berridge.
Mr. C. suffered two years from an inverted toe-nail; had tried three of the best physicians and an endless variety of remedies without any relief. About a year ago he submitted to the painful operation of having his nail pulled out by the root, but in three months it grew in and troubled him more than before. He took Magnetis Australis 1M, and in about five weeks was entirely cured.-Swan.
Mrs. D., nervo-sanguine temperament, has suffered for five years from an ingrowing toe-nail, outer side of left great toe. During most of this time she has not been able to wear a shoe on this foot – and never without greatly increasing the pain – or even bear the weight of the body on it. Any misstep would be followed by a discharge of blood and pus. The outer side of toe was very much inflamed and swollen, so that nearly half the nail was hidden. No treatment, even cutting out half the nail, gave more than temporary relief. One drop of Magnetis Australis 1M was given. Relief soon followed. The toe looked better, was less sensitive to pressure, and she could wear her boot without causing much pain. The swelling had nearly disappeared at the root of the nail, giving the appearance of a piece having been cut out. Gave three doses of the same remedy, one every night, and in a few days the toe was perfectly well. – Ballard.
Mrs. C. S., aged 31, blonde, complains of a pain in left lower jaw as if out of joint; worse in morning and on moving it, sensation as if the head of the bone were squeezed and crowded into the socket. Magnetic Arcticus 1M, three doses, one every night, removed all the symptoms. – Conaut.
A young married lady rapidly gained flesh and weight after her confinement; this, with the unnatural pressure on the ball of the foot, induced by high-heeled shoes, caused the flesh on inner side of left great toe to grow over the corner of nail. Through neglect and injudicious local medication, ulceration and large unhealthy granulations followed. The attendant pain was so great as to prevent the use of the foot. Magnetis Australis 1M every night for a week. In ten days the toe was well, and has remained so. – Ostrom.
