Sour \nfood caused pain. The swelling was not hard on the surface, but contained two hard nodules the size of lentils, \none of which was denuded and bled on touch. \nThree enlarged veins crossed the swelling and entered the tongue muscle behind it. She had been treated for \nover a month with Aur., Ars., Carb-v. in vain. \nKallenbach moistened the swelling with the fresh juice of Semp. thrice a day. Within three days it was smaller \nand folds appeared, the enlarged veins were contracted, formed thin, tense vessels crossing the swelling and \nseemingly tying it. \nDuring the next three days, the patient applied the juice too energetically and Kal lenbach found the \nsurroundings in inflammatory irritation and very sensitive. \nThe applications was stopped and Semp. 2x was given internally. After a week\u2019s use the swelling had shriveled \nto one-third the size, and ten days later the menses, which had ceased altogether, reappeared and continued \nvery profusely for five days. \nThe swelling shriveled to the size of a small pea, was firmer, harder, devoid of sen sation and gave no further \ntrouble. The menses continued regularly. \nIn another instance, Mrs. X., 27, a mother of a six month old healthy boy, formerly fre quently afflicted with \nswelling of the glands, very sensitive to homeopathic remedies, complained of  a pain under her tongue of ten \ndays\u2019 duration, interfering with eating and speaking. \nThere was a bluish red elevation on under side of tongue the size of a split bean. It was hard, and along both \nsides there were enlarged veins. On the side a denuded spot exuded a whitish albuminous matter which could \neasily be wiped off. \nSemp. 6c was given, one powder every forty-eight hours. On the second day, the swelling was less sensitive, \nand in a week, much smaller. Then the menses reappeared (first time since confi nement) and in three weeks \nthe whole swelling was gone, leaving only in its place a somewhat engorged vein. \nKallenbach treated with applications of lx General V. B. who had nodules on the left rim of his tongue with \nswollen veins, the nodules disappeared and the sensitiveness was removed and the patient was so well that \nhe refused to stay for the completion of the cure and failed to report. \nClarke\u2019s experience with Semp. was in domestic practice. For some child affections of the eyes he used rags \nmoistened with \u201chouse leek and cream\u201d (about equal parts of the juice and fresh cream) were applied and his \nrecollection of it is that the application was exceedingly pleasant.","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
