A few weeks after that the arm was swollen. Some eight \nmonths after the injury Clarke saw her. The pain centered in the ulnar nerve where it crosses the inner condyle \nof the humerus, though there was pain above and below as well. \nClarke gave Ruta 30c, which gave some relief to the pain and relieved a frontal headache to which the patient \nwas subject. The arm becoming less well, Clarke gave Xan. 12c four times a day. This made a distinct \nimprovement in the arm and also relieved a dysmenorrhea to which Miss X. was subject. After treatment with \nvarious potencies of Xan. the nerve lost its sensitiveness and the patient could use her arm freely. \nIn one of Cullis\u2019 provers, Miss D. (there were six provers, three of them women, all took the tincture), the entire \nleft half of the body became numb, the left half of the head being s harply divided in sensation from the other \nhalf. These symptoms with the many head pains and fullness in the head, give the correspondence in \nhemiplegia in which Xan. has been given with success. \nTwo additional provings on women ap pear in C. D. P. In these provings 20 to 100 drop doses of the tincture \nwere taken and symptoms of great severity were produced. Both provers had severe dysmenorrhea pains with \nincreased and anticipating flow. \nThe symptoms in each case roused the prover from sleep with pain a nd suffocation, the pain being confined \nto head, heart, throat and pelvis. Many of the pains were radiating from above right eye over head from right \novary down thigh and in other directions. Left -sided numbness was present in one, who also had symptoms \nof levitation and disordered sensation. \nCullis, who had success in cases of dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea, related several cases, including that of \nMiss A., 25, brunette, who had menstrual irregularity since commencement, would go three, four or five months \nand then her sufferings were ex cruciating. When she came under treatment had no menses for two months. \nXan. 1c was give, 5 drops thrice daily. Menses appeared in three days and were painless.  \nMiss B., fair, nervous, had menses suppressed by getting feet wet, being then a weekovertime.Xan.lx,5 drops \nevery three hours, brought on menses the next day. \nP. C. Majumdar cured a case of uterine fibroid with Xan. 3x. An emaciated, feeble, wrinkled woman, 56, widow, \nhad been advised by allopaths to have an operation for tumor. Menstruation hadceasedfifteen years before. It \nhad been profuse and painful and preceded and followed by leucorrhea.  \nShe had neuralgic pain in right ovarian region, a hard nodular tumor size of a small orange, painful on deep \npressure. Fetid, yellowish white discharge from vagina. Nervous, depressed, lazy and sleepy even in daytime. \nAppetite poor, disgust for food. \nXan. 3x was given night and morning. In a week the pain was better and discharge less. In four weeks \nMajumdar found the patient a changed person. The tumor was much softer and reduced by half.
