[Swan]
Left of a piece of
under clothing/was taken with a severe cold and coryza;
it came on suddenly, continued 2 or 3 days/ceased suddenly + an unusual
discharge of mucus from the nose, filling 3 or 4 handkerchiefs every day, and
had tightness across the chest, great oppression and violent cough. Passed away
gradually after many days.
Menses:
Characteristic: peculiar offensive breath.
Another marked change
is, that whereas she had always been very constipated, the movements have
recently been natural every day.
The night before the
menstruation appeared, there was great distension of the abdomen as if it would
burst. Since the menstruation, which continued only 24 hours and was scanty,
she has occasional fits of melancholy, which, however, pass off suddenly.
After the last period
she can bear no pressure from her clothes, being obliged to suspend them from
her shoulders. This also passed away in a few days.
The night preceding
the last menstruation, was awakened about 1 h. with a pushing sensation
downward in the lower abdomen, as though the blood might rush out in torn
rents; the suffering was intense, and continued about an hour, but no blood or
any fluid passed out. The following night at the same time, the menses came of
normal color
and scanty, it was
during the down pressing sensation that the abdomen was distended as if it would
burst.
While playing upon
the banjo, she was seized with a whirling sensation in the head, a sense of
depression, weakness, a giving way feeling, mostly in the lower limbs,
particularly in the knees, followed by a pushing down, rushing feeling in the
womb, followed immediately by a profuse flow of blood which came rushing out,
and continued about an hour and then ceased; during the flow the other symptoms
passed away, there was no pain, only a downward pushing.
She says: “At
half-past eight this morning I was seized with a pain in the epigastric region, which passed downward in the median line
of the body, then pain in the left ovarian region, then in left hip, then down
posterior side of left thigh to the hollow of the knee, at the same time a
sense of weakness in left side, and particularly in the left limb. Then came
another discharge of blood from the womb, which continued moderately for about
15 minutes. These flows seem to be an affair of every other day, namely,
Friday, 1 a. m., April 20, the regular period; Sunday, April 22, moderately;
Tuesday, April 24, and Thursday, April 26, Friday noon, April 27, a heavy
pressing down sensation in lower abdomen the same as I had the day before
menstruating.”
Sensation as if
menses were coming on, but they did not.
A very sharp pain
passed from epigastric region in a direct line to
left ovary, this was repeated at intervals 3 or 4x during the day, each time
the pain was only momentary.
Since menses ceased, she
had leucorrhoea, thick, white, cream-like in consistence, preceded by sharp
pain in the womb as during menses; the leucorrhoea continued as long as the
menses had; it occurs every morning, whereas the menstrual flow came every
other day; she never leucorrhoea before, except after some unusual exertion and
fatigue, and then it was slight and only a few hours, causes no debility.
About May 4, while
stooping she “had a pain in left lower abdomen, and a sensation as if something
within her turned or rolled over; no symptoms since; no more pain, blood or leucorrhea.
She thinks that her
womb turned over, and since then has been feeling exceedingly well, taking long
walks, is more joyous and happy and does not have the attacks of depression so
often.
May 18. Menstruated
bright red, but scanty and continued about 24 hours. Two days after, complained
of soreness in abdomen, pressure did not aggravate it, but it was very severe,
continued one day and ceased; there was no distension of abdomen or return of
pains as formerly. She is now under O.G.P., cmm one
dose.
[Samuel
Swan]
About April 1, took
several doses of 30 centesimal potency of O.G.Pel.
2nd day.
Sore throat on l. side as if it had been scalded; continued several days only
at night.
Catarrh with hard
clinkers hawked back which would invariably shoot down the throat, came at 10
h. 15 h. And 22 h.
2nd and 3rd
days. Aching pain in the afternoon from back of left ear extending down toward
the shoulder, half way from neck.
An ache over the l.
hip seems to extend in deep, this disappeared during menstruation, and
reappeared when menses ceased.
4th day.
Pains and aches in uterine region and left ovary as if menses were coming on
(not due for 18 days ).
Itching of r. labia
extending outward to the edge.
5th day. A
congested suffocating feeling in the chest as from wind in the center of under the sternum; beating it with the hand
temporarily relieves, apparently by jarring.
In the light of other
experience may not this sensation have been in or around the heart.
April 18. While riding
in the cars had sudden haemorrhage from the rectum, bright blood; a severe pain
across the sacrum.
April 19. The menses
appeared, same day had another discharge of blood from the bowels, followed by
burning at the anus.
2nd day.
Awakened at night by great heat in sacral region, rest of the body cool; a good
deal of aching pain across the sacrum and nates.
3rd day.
Lay awake all night as is usual with me before menses. Sleepy all the time and
tired; can go to to sleep any time, night or day.
During sleep and
immediately on going to sleep, the whole body jerked. Between the hours of 10
h. and 15 h. taken suddenly with intense drowsiness, sometimes overcoming the
will to keep awake. Especially sleepy during menses. After menses slight pains
in anterior part of l. thigh.
Sore spot on pressure
in l. ovary, also breasts are sore, and sensitive to pressure.
May 17. Menses
commenced at 17 h., flowed all night colorless,
profuse, penetrating her clothing.
On the 18th
Began in the morning to be bright red fluid, profuse, painless, saturating five
napkins during the day.
The menses were
preceded for 24 hours by depression of spirits, dull dragging pains in lower
abdomen.
Between 15 h. and 17
h. on the 18th after a natural stool had another haemorrhage from the
bowels, same as April 18th and 20th.
Every time she
sneezes or coughs the urine spurts out, only since menstruation ceased.
Urine scalds the
vulva on right side which itches intensely.
Between menses l.
side of abdomen very SOREe with sharp pains occasionally
darting through it, also a bearing down as if a weight was hanging to the womb.
Prickling pains in
the neck of the womb, apparently in the os uteri,
with pressure downwards, and intense aching, with desire to keep the thighs
wide apart (Lach.)
Ten or twelve years
since, Dr. Fincke sent me some notes of the effects
of O.G.Pel. and its sphere of action, but the letter
was mislaid, and I had forgotten the occurrence until I noticed in a recent
number of the Investigator results obtained by Dr. Edson
with Ova Testa, or toasted eggshell.
I have not the books
at my command, to ascertain if eggshell, raw or toasted, was much used in olden
times, but I find in “Reverius’ Practice of Physic,”
published in 1658, that powdered egg-shell is named as a remedy for nocturnal
enuresis, “Also the powder of egg-shells alone is commended, a dram thereof
being given divers mornings together; it is accounted by some for a secret,”
and was prescribed for “immoderate flux of the courses, while the shells of two
new laid eggs burnt” was an ingredient in
a prescription for
the same complaint.
I prepared Ovi Gal. Pel. by triturating the
fresh pellicle in .95 alcohol, and then allowing it to digest for several days
before potentizing. The cm I sent to my friend
Dr. Boardman, of
This lady while
menstruating at the age of 16, shovelled snow, and while doing so, felt
something give way in the left groin, causing great pain, ext. down the thigh
to the knee, and thence to the foot and toes, compelling her to keep her bed.
These conditions
always appeared after slight exercise or walking, lifting, using the arms, as
in sweeping, dusting, reaching upward; and especially while menstruating, which
added severe bearing down pains, and increased pains in the region of left
ovary.
During the succeeding
twelve years, to the present time, she had been constipated, going a week or
more, and some times a partial movement every four or five days.
She had a pressure
against the spinal column, which while it caused no pain, suggested in
connection with the painful menstruation, retroversion; at the time of her
courses,
the abdomen would
become greatly and painfully distended, could not learn if it was tympanitic.
In this long period,
she says: “if I keep quiet, walk or stand very little, live well, amuse myself
with light reading and music, I feel perfectly well, but any extra efforts
or exercise in
standing or walking, causes me to break down with pains in left ovarian region,
thigh, knee and foot, followed by deep melancholy.”
I have been thus
prolix, for a better appreciation of the action of O.G.P.; and it is proper
here to state that the above facts were not proven, (except that she could not
bear exercise) until after the commencement of this proving.
On Wednesday, April
4, when she first took a powder, she was suffering from an attack of the above
mentioned pains from overexertion; in about an hour they suddenly
left her, and she got
up, dressed, went around and took more than usual exercise. These pains have
never returned.
The next day she had
two or three slight, sharp pains in left ovary, and the same unusual and
peculiar pains came on Friday the 6th, they did not again appear. On this day
she engaged in house
cleaning which she had never before been able to do without great suffering and
prostration, and on Saturday the 7th, was at real work in the morning, and in
the afternoon took a long walk and went shopping. About the 8th or 9th, left
off some light article of under clothing, and was taken with a severe cold and coryza;
it came on suddenly,
continued two or three days, and ceased as suddenly, accompanied by an unusual
discharge of mucus from the nose, filling 3 - 4 handkerchiefs every day, and
had tightness across the chest, great oppression and violent cough.
This is an abnormal
condition with her, as she does not easily take cold, is not severely affected,
and it passes away gradually after many days.
Menses appeared on
the 20th, about 1 h.
The characteristic is
an exceedingly and peculiar offensive breath, and a lady, happening to be near
her, said, it entered her mouth and seemed to pass down directly to her womb;
could not tell what to compare the odor to.Another marked change is, that whereas she had always
been very constipated, the movements have recently been natural every day.
The night before the
menstruation appeared, there was great distension of the abdomen as if it would
burst. Since the menstruation, which continued only 24 hours and was scanty,
she has occasional fits of melancholy, which, however, pass off suddenly.
After the last period
she can bear no pressure from her clothes, being obliged to suspend them from
her shoulders. This also passed away in a few days.
The night preceding
the last menstruation, was awakened about 1 h. with a pushing sensation
downward in the lower abdomen, as though the blood. might rush out in torn
rents; the suffering was intense, and continued about an hour, but no blood or
any fluid passed out. The following night at the same time, the menses came of
normal color
and scanty, it was
during the down pressing sensation that the abdomen was distended as if it
would burst.
April 24. While
playing upon the banjo, she was seized with a whirling sensation in the head, a
sense of depression, weakness, a giving way feeling, mostly in the lower limbs,
particularly in the knees, followed by a pushing down, rushing feeling in the
womb, followed immediately by a profuse flow of blood which came rushing out,
and continued about an hour and then ceased; during the flow the other symptoms
passed away, there was no pain, only a downward pushing.
April 26. She says:
“At half-past eight this morning I was seized with a pain in the epigastric region, which passed downward in the median line
of the body, then pain in the left ovarian region, then in left hip, then down
posterior side of left thigh to the hollow of the knee, at the same time a
sense of weakness in left side, and particularly in the left limb. Then came
another discharge of blood from the womb, which continued moderately for about
15 minutes. These flows seem to be an affair of every other day, namely,
Friday, 1 a. m., April 20, the regular period; Sunday, April 22, moderately;
Tuesday, April 24, and Thursday, April 26, Friday noon, April 27, a heavy
pressing down sensation in lower abdomen the same as I had the day before
menstruating.”
Saturday, April 28.
Sensation as if menses were coming on, but they did not.
April 30. A very sharp
pain passed from epigastric region in a direct line
to left ovary, this was repeated at intervals three or four times during the
day, each time the pain was only momentary.
Since menses ceased,
leucorrhoea, thick, white, cream-like in consistence, preceded by sharp pain in
the womb as during menses; the leucorrhoea continued as long as the menses had;
it occurs every morning, whereas the menstrual flow came every other day; she
never had the whites before, except after some unusual exertion and fatigue,
and then it was slight and only a few hours,
causes no debility.
About May 4, while
stooping she “had a pain in left lower abdomen, and “As if something within her
turned or rolled over”; no symptoms since; no more pain, blood or leucorrhea. She thinks that her womb turned over, and since
then has been feeling exceedingly well, taking long walks, is more joyous and
