Cooper gives me the following
experiences with Str. bro.: (1)
A woman, 40, had tenderness of limbs, and veins of legs show up and incline to inflame
(chronic cellulitis), left ankle inclined to swell; vertigo, at times darkness comes over
sight; appetite not good, bowels regular, menses every three weeks, cannot keep awake in
evening. Great relief came from Str. bro. 3x, but after
taking it for ten days, severe ardor urinć, with constant enuresis day and night, set in,
which yielded to Ferr. phos. 6x., after failure with
other remedies. (2) Woman, 60, had left leg and left
foot swollen, hard and tender, red and pitting; right also but less in degree; indigestion
with pain after food, and sickness after food for seven or eight years; is rheumatic and has
had sciatica, off and on, for two years; bowels confined, sleep very restless generally. Str. bro. 3x was given, and in two weeks the legs had gone down
very much and she felt altogether better, urine had become clear, but though ravenous for
food had to stop eating and felt more sick, and. the bowels were more confined. After this
patient got quite well without further medicine. (3) Str. bro. 30 gave great relief to a lady broken down by sorrow
who could not digest food. (4) Stro.
bro. 6x produced in a woman, 70, the following symptoms: Urine thick, and
offensive and dark-looking, with grains of red sand.® 2000
