stomach cancer phos.

Hoyne T S, Clinical Therapeutics 1878, p. 238.

Case CCX. Dr. Bolle, a German Allopath, had a bad case of cancer of the stomach, which progressed rapidly during nine months of treatment. The patient was reduced to a skeleton; he could hardly drag himself about; his complexion was earthy, while vomiting ensued after taking food, or even a swallow of water; almost every time, a sourish, offensive fluid was ejected in significant quantities. Bearing the most remarkable resemblance to a mixture of water, ink and coffee grounds; the tongue was coated with a yellowish fur, and was dry; there was thirst: no appetite: constant nausea; fullness, painfulness of the stomach; sometimes a fine stitching and gurgling in the pit of the stomach; the abdomen was fallen in; the constipation could hardly be overcome; the feces were hard, crumbly, blackish-brown. Dr. Nichol, a Homeopath, gave Phos. 200, which cured him. Dr. Bolle then became a Homeopath. Eighteen months after the old symptoms returned, and were speedily dissipated by Phos. 3. given by Dr. Bolle. Dr. G. E. Shipman.
