| Carbuncle on the back of the neck -- James Tyler Kent |
||||
| A lady aged about 30, suffered greatly from a carbuncle on the back of the neck; She had applied many domestic medicines and obtained no relief. The tumefaction seemed destined to suppurate. It was mottled bluish and the pain was intense, knife-cutting and burning. She was sick at the stomach to vomiting, and at night she was delirious. Her eyes were staring and there was some fever ; the tongue was foul and the breath fetid. There was great tension in the scalp and muscles of the face. She begged for morphine to "stop that burning and cutting. " Tarantula cubensis 12x one dose produced quiet immediately and the angry looking tumefaction failed to complete its work ; it did not suppurate. The discoloration was gone in two days, and the hardness soon disappeared also. She regained her normal state very rapidly, and she said to me a short time ago that she had never had her old headache since that swelling left her, showing how deeply the medicine affected her whole system. If a part is mottled (Lach.), bluish, growing dark, with those symptoms, Tarantula cubensis must be the most appropriate remedy. |
