Allen said \u201cSyphilitics or patients who have had c hancre treated by local means and as a result have \nsuffered from throat and skin troubles for years, are nearly benefited by this remedy at commencement of \ntreatment unless some other remedy is clearly indicated.\u201d \n; Thomas Wildes noted that, in his experi ence with Syph., the chancre increases for the first two weeks and \nthen gradually fades away, not being followed by secondaries. \nWildes cured a bookkeeper who, for many months, had a piercing, pressing, excruciat ing headache over his \nright eye extending deep into his brain. It was so severe, he was losing continuity of thought and memory.  \nUnder Syph. 1,000c every night, the headache disappeared entirely in ten days and his mental faculties were \nfully restored. But in six weeks the whole eyebrow on that side broke out into a sickly, yellow, syphilitic eczema \nwith a red, angry and oozing base extending under the arch to the lid, from canthus to canthus, up into forehead \nand down the side of the nose. \nThe cure of this was tedious; Wildes attributed it to his change of remedy instead of continuing with Syph. This \nman had syphilis a few years before. \nIn 1879 a woman, 26, extremely bright and intelligent, came to Wildes with a dreadful  \nSyphilinum ozaena. She also had a spinal curvature and congestion of right ov ary. She had always been \ndelicate. \nSyph. cured the ozaena and improved her health, but it \u201cdrove out a saddle to which the Sepia saddle is but a \nshadow.\u201d A furious inflammatory mass of syphilitic sores, scabs and eczema, red and angry with a fiery base \nextending from one malar prominence to the other, across nose up to eyes and forehead. This took eighteen \nmonths to cure. The ozaena never returned. \n \n \nA boy, age 4, had an obstinate rash, a combination of prurigo and herpes, on his chin, lips, cheekbone, \nforehead and hairy scalp, on arms, chest, back, bends of joints and on the joints and on fingers and hands, \nnowhere profuse. In spite of authorities to the contrary, Wildes maintained that syphilitic rashes may itch and \nthat prurigo is infectious and is one of the initial stages of leprosy. \nThis boy had a spot of eruption on the left thigh the size of the top joint of a man\u2019s thumb. This was distinctly \na leper spot. Syph. 1,000c caused the rash to come out strongly all over the body in patches, the face was \none-third covered with a thick, yellow, scabby eruption. The remedy was continued and the boy got well, \nwonderfully improved in health, was no longer nervous, grew well, slept well, with good appetite.  \nA girl, 16, had measles a year before which did not come out properly. A year and a half prior she was subject \nto neuralgic headaches. She had been ailing about two years, very despondent, wanted to die, headaches \ngrowing more violent. \nDuring the headaches, the temple veins stood out, had pains all over the body,  was very irritable, restless, \nwalked about much of the time, did not wish to be soothed, violent on being opposed, had tremors and seemed \non the verge of convulsions, dazed, absent minded and almost insane. Always washed her hands. She was \nformerly constipated, but now subject to \u201ca kind of diarrhea.\u201d \nMenses never came on properly and for the past year had been very irregular, much delayed, scanty and \nalways extremely painful.  Often feverish. Anxious sleep, distressed and often wakeful and violently restle ss. \nThe symptoms indicated Syph. and under this she steadily recovered. \nA young woman contracted \u201cleprosysyphilis\u201d from vaccination. She had ablood- boil on her arm that would not \nheal. Face broken out with a fiery rash. With Syph. 1,000c at bedtime she r ecovered rapidly. The arm healed \nquickly and her face became free from eruption. \nA boy, 3, had a cluster of yellow blotches on his fingers and roots of nails, distorting the nails. The boy \u2019 s father \nwas epileptic. The boy was helped with Fl-ac. and cured with Syph., the nails became straight. \nG. H. Carr related the case of an old man who had been troubled for two or three winters with an intense \ncold pain in both legs. It came on every night on lying down and lasted all night, the only relief was from getting \nup and walking. \nMagnetic leggings had given the most relief. Syph. 1,000c, one dose daily, was given. He lost the pain for six \nweeks, when it returned in milder form. Syph. 100,000C was given and he had no more pains all the winter. \nThe medicine, he said \u201cmade his genitals ache so that he couldn\u2019t sit still.\u201d This lasted over a month.  \nSyph. 100,000c cured a woman of \u201casth ma\u201d that she had for twenty -five years, the attack coming on only at \nnight after lying down or during a thunderstorm. \nSwan said he gave crying infants one dose of Syph. 100,000c, when they developed the propensity \nimmediately after birth and did not cease, and it was difficult to make them cry after that.  \nYingling reported the case of Rev. D., 30, who was dark and free from venereal diseas e. Haggard look. He \nhad a constant dull, heavy ache above inner angle of right eye, very distressing with an occasional thrust as \nof an iron rod from the same spot through to lower part of occiput. This thrust was excruciating.  \nHe was due to preach the nex t day, but the pain quite incapacitated him, which led him to appeal for help. \nSyph. 100,000c, one dose, \nwas given. He was free from pain before he reached home, and was perfectly well the next morning.","Head":"Stupefying headaches. Pain in bones of head. Deep, crushing headpains across the base of \ntemples.
