Dudgeon, in an article on Thlaspi., quoted a case of Rademacher’s showing the action of Thlaspi on uric acid
excretion.
A woman whom Rademacher had relieved ten years before of a large quantity of urinary sand, again presented
herself; her abdominal cavity was full of water, extremely swollen and she was passing urine of a light red color
with bloody sediment.
Thlaspi tincture, 30 drops five times a day, was given solely with the idea of stopping
the hematuria.
The result was a more copious discharge of urinary sand than ever before, the urine increased,

One such case concerned a woman, 76, who had rheumaticRelating to joint or muscle painDescribe pain, stiffness, or inflammation affecting joints, muscles, or connective tissues.
muscular pains in various parts and an abundant secretion of uric acid, which passed away wi th every
discharge of urine.
Sometimes small stones formed and there was much pain in their passage along the ureter, but generally it
passed in the form of coarse sand, which formed a thick layer at the bottom of the utensil.
This sand continued
to pass after the cessation of the rheumatic pains, which lasted six or seven weeks.
1c diminished the sand to an insignificant amount.
Dudgeon also noted the case of a man, 57, who, in addition to other dyspeptic symptoms, had unusually large
discharges of coarse uric acid, coming away in masses as large as a big pin ’ s head but without pain.

Dudgeon referred to a case of Harper’s illustrating the action of Thlaspi on the bowels.

suffered for years from a copious discharge of mucus, pus, sometimes mixed with blood, sometimes nearly all
blood, which passed from the bowels after each evacuation.
She had been under high homeopathy, oxygen
treatment and for a long time under Harper’s care, all without e ffect.
He then gave Thlaspi tincture in 5 drop
doses and cured the case in a few days.
Clarke, with Thlaspi lx, saved a woman who had been curetted several times with little success from a further
curetting, which was advised as being essential to the cu re.
