July 15, 1867, Madame S, æt. 24, came to me for medical advice. She is slender but short, blonde complexion. For several years has had much distress, during and before menstruation. Much pain and soreness in left hypochondrium, going through to the lower border of right scapula; worse when lying on left side, and during menstruation, which is generally regular as to time, occasionally a little late, blood dark, thick, lasting four days, proceeded by headache, (frontal,) accompanied by profuse, watery, dark-colored diarrhoea; cutting colic before stool; chilliness, bearing down and drawing pains in the limbs, and soreness of the hips; much thirst at night, with dry mouth; takes cold very easily; sleep broken from 12 to 2 A. M; appetite poor. Cool, dry weather best agrees with her. Every summer is subject to urticarious eruptions. Up to the 1st of September, she had phosphorus 200, belladonna 200, and rhus tox.200, with slight benefit. A more careful examination, at that time, developed these additional symptoms, viz: Frequent dreams of robbers in the house, and on waking will not be satisfied until her husband has searched the house for them; also, "has frequent cold sores on upper lip, looking like pearls or white blisters." These symptoms characterized natrum muriaticum, one dose of which, in the 200th potency, afforded restoration of normal menstruation, freedom from pain, diarrhoea, or other untoward symptom.
