Case IV.-Mrs. P., aged 35, rheumatism many months in lower extremities, after failure to cure with strong remedies, Quinia, Salicylic acid, Colch, and Iodide potassium, concluded to try liniment. Strong applications were made with relief to the lower extremities. I was sent for, the messenger saying that Mrs. P. was dying. I found her sitting upright in bed with great pain in the cardiac region, quick, sharp, irregular pulse, smothering breathing, clothing all removed from neck and breast, choking and gasping, covered with perspiration and very pallid. She got Lachesis 41m. in water. Immediate relief followed, and was able to lie down; although she was relieved from the more distressing symptoms, it was evident that she was in great danger as the pain in the heart remained only slightly abated. The danger in these cases need not be mentioned here, and I will only say, it appeared to be as usual a dangerous case of rheumatism endocarditis from metastasis. She took Abrotanum 6th and 12th. Recovery was gradual from the beginning with the remedy and finally complete. She says that she now enjoys better health than ever.
