She was able 10 be out Of bed on the 18th.
Thus in one week was this lady cured, by
Homeopathic treatment of violent attack OF a
very distressing form of disease often highly
dangerous; whereas in former similar attack,
under. Allopa,hic treatment, she remained nine
days blind and how much longer she continued
i'll before she recovered, know not. This case
exhibits striking contrast between the efficacy
ofthe new and the old practice. III! aU
Case Of Erysipelas. Patient, a young Lady
tlet aged l8. ,ttstai
Dec. 3lst, 1874, 7 O'Clock, p. M. Off ro-
bust habit, and generally healthy. She has had
several attacks Of Erysipolas Of very consider
able severity, and twice within the last two
years. Awoke early this morning with the
commencement of an attack of Erysipelas, in
the form OF swelling and redness Of the upper
lip, and she has travelled 40 miles since. 5u
The lip, both cheeks, the, lower part OF the
forehead, and the nose are very tumid and red:
Headache considerable. Pulse l28, pretty full
and 6rmL-much heat and smarting pain OF the
face. Judging from her present state, ter
friends consider this likely 10 be as severe as
the worst previous attacks, which did not begin
TO yield before the fifth or sixth day, notwith-
standing the powerful and sustained operation
OF purgatives, and the use OF anlimonials.
Aeon 6, Bell. ., alternately every hour, un-
I'll two doses Of each have been taken; then
every two hours. 5al it
