In two cases of gonorrhea, obstinate in character, deficient in symptoms, on which to make an accurate prescription, due, probably, to the deep sycotic diathesis, the X-ray not only developed all the acute symptoms of original attack but revealed the remedy (Mercurius Cor.) which promptly and permanently cured the disease and an old catarrhal deafness as well.
In two other cases, which had resisted the best of treatment for months, the remedy developed numerous sycotic excrescences on glans and the symptoms calling for the simillimum were sharply indicated, and it cured permanently.

It is evident that if this factor is varied the results will be altered.”.
