Case.Mr. H. T—., aged
about 78 years, rather stout but not very fleshy, would weigh about one
hundred and sixty, hair and bearded milk white. Some forty years ago had
nasal polypi of both anterior nares. Had them extracted by some
“regular,” and was thoroughly dosed by him, in a short time
they grew again, but larger than before ; he had the same M. D.
extract them the second time ; and as he reported, gave him any
amount of medicine as well as used external washes with astringent nasal
injections, but the polypi persisted in growing for third time, when he
refused to have them extracted again.They filled both
anterior nares, so much so, that it was impossible for him to force a
particle of air through the nasal passages, and protruded so as to come
down to near the border of the upper lip ; was very sensitive to
the touch ; of a grayish reddish color, and a continuous
semi-putrid discharge which was very disagreeable to him and every one
that he came in contact with.He was very despondent,
said he was nothing but a nuisance and had been for the past thirty
years (after the third growth of the polypi), and that the sooner he was
dead and out of the way the better for all concerned, as he could see no
benefit to himself or any one else by his doing so, after getting his
symptoms the-best that I could (placing the most importance upon the
mental), and mistrusting sycotic basis, I gave him one small dose of Aurum
50M, to be followed by Sac-lac,
once in forty-eight hours.In about three months
both polypi entirely disappeared and have shown no symptoms of returning
for the past two years.
DISCUSSION.
Dr. E. E. Case. About
a year and a half ago I had a case of polypus in a lady. She was a
fleshy person, a Calcarea subject
and she received that remedy in the 1M potency. The polypus was so large
that the nostrils were entirely occluded, even the face was perceptibly
swollen. Under treatment this swelling decreased, the offensive
discharges lessened, and she began to have a bleeding from the nose, the
polypus in the mean while growing smaller. Some of her friends
concluded, not withstanding the improvement, there was no use in
doctoring, and she did not come back. Six months after the prescription,
when blowing her nose, the remnants of the polypus came out on her
handkerchief.
Dr. Baylies.
I also cured a polypus in a
child eight years old with a single dose of Calc-carb.
