Headaches. Kidney congestion. Menses scanty. , 
COMMENTS - Boger recorded the following caseofMissD., 18,brunette, who haddull pains over eyes worse 
by sunlight, motion, loss of sleep, sewing, reading. Pains were better after stool, with headache, swelling of

fever was allowed unlimited quantities of ice. Preceding the fever she had a post auricular eczema suppressed 
by salves, now is anemic and bloated. Urine contained epithelium, excess of chlorides, calcium oxalate and a 
trace of albumen (due probably to the clove habit). 
Glon. helped the case, but for a time only. Stront-n. was chosen because Stront. irritates the kidneys and Nit-
 
 
ac. corresponds to the vasomotor disturbance besides having cravings for odd things. 
Stront-n. 6x was given and in a few days the headache vanished. At the end of a month the post -auricular 
eruption had reappeared. Five months later there had been no return of headache or palpebral ede ma, the 
craving for cloves had gone, the patient had taken on good flesh and color. The eruption had not all gone.
