ARTHRITIS CASES [Arthritis Cases]

      Rheumatic pains in joints of the feet, aggravated by motions; Bryon. and Kali iod. having failed, Ferrum phos., 10th dil., cured Pop. Zeitschrift, Berlin, 1886.

A shoemaker of Berlin was taken ill after catching cold. There was fever with violent pain in the right shoulder. The first visit I paid was on the third day after he had been taken ill; temperature high, pulse full and quick, thirst and loss of appetite. The right shoulder was very red and sensitive to the touch. He was not able to lie in his bed, as the pressure of the pillows was unbearable. He was lying on the sofa, supported with cushions, so that the shoulder should be free from pressure. I gave my patient Ferrum phos., as much as would cover a sixpenny piece. This was dissolved in a large glass of water, and a tea-spoonful of the solution given every hour. Improvement was felt even after a few hours. During the night the patient was able to sleep and on the following day the fever abated; in three days he was able to move the arm pretty freely. In a few days longer he was entirely well. (Sulzer- From Schussler).

ARTHRITIS- Hot swelling of the knee joint in an anaemic girl was promptly cured in two days with Natrum phos. 6x. This and another case very similar in which a like result was obtained is reported in the Homoeopathic World, Sept. 1908, by Dr. Macnish.
