CASE 857. Mr. is eighteen years old. October 4, 1872. Had a chancre four months ago, which healed up under allopathic treatment in three weeks; but in three or four weeks more, he had piles and swelling in the groin and perineum (showing that he was not cured). The swelling in the perineum broke and discharged, then the swelling in the groin. Piles unchanged. Now has a pile on the left side, as thick as the tip of a little finger, and one and a half inches in length; it bleeds occasionally. Itches and shoots when he is hot; shooting in it during stool; cold water relieves the itching and diminishes the swelling; for three weeks, shooting, from right elbow, in front, down front of arm to wrist, which makes him drop what he has in his band; the pile is moist; it is easier after stool; has heat in pile; costive. Has been three weeks under allopathic treatment for the piles and arm, but without relief. Pain in the arm went away in two days. No costiveness. Feels better generally. Pile has bled twice. Less shooting, itching, and beat for the last tour days. No shooting during stool for four or five days. Piles are the same size. Two days after he saw me, the itching and shooting in the pile were worse for two days, then discharges, it is a cure; if after, a recovery. Dr. E. W. Berridge.
