Case 1.5: Haematemesis - Mrs. M., aet. seventy-four. Vomiting of large quantities of bright red blood. After Ipac. 3 the vomiting gradually ceased, and she began to pass blood by the bowels, in considerable quantities at first, but afterward in small quantities, though very often, and with great tenesmus and pain in the bowels. The blood passed per anus was at first bright red, but afterward, when in connection with the tenesmus, became very dark colored and putrid. Nux vom., Mercur., Ipec., Coloc., Hamam., with an occasional dose of Sulphur did not improve the case; it continued to grow steadily worse for two weeks, until sixty-five of the putrid, dark colored blood and mucous passages occurred in twenty-four hours, and the following symptoms presented: Extreme weakness, cannot move her head from pillow without help; great thirst; aversion to food on looking at it, and particularly when smelling it. The smell of broth cooking, two rooms away nauseates even to faintness (when doors are open between). Irresistible, sleepiness, drowsiness (when not too much pain). The pains increase toward evening, and did not diminish before daybreak. It was autumnal cold and damp weather. Colchic 2c, in solution, a dose once in two hours. During the following twenty-four hours she had but two passages, the pain had vanished, there was no nausea. The patient made a perfect recovery in a few days - Dr. E. B.Nash.
