{{anchor:s3}}Mrs. C., aged twenty-five years, called upon me in April, with a pimple upon the middle of the left cheek, about the size of a small pea; it was red, freely supplied with blood vessels, and the slightest touch would produce profuse bleeding and the growth was very rapidly increased by each attack of hemorrhage.

{{anchor:s4}}The history that she gave of it was, that about two weeks previous the skin was broken there by a slight scratch with the finger-nail, and the next day she discovered a pimple the size of a pin-head; whenever a day passed by without touching it, she could not see that it increased in size. {{anchor:s5}}Mrs. C. was expecting confinement every day with the second child, and at her first confinement nearly lost her life by hemorrhage. {{anchor:s6}}I gave her Phosphorus <sup>6</sup>,<sup>30</sup> and <sup>200</sup>, one dose each in forty-eight hours, and then Sac. lac.; hardly a day passed without irritating it, and it grew rapidly until her confinement, which occurred about a week afterward, at which time it bled profusely. {{anchor:s7}}The treatment was necessarily interrupted a few days in consequence of other symptoms coming up which required attention.

{{anchor:s8}}Five days after confinement, it measured one inch in length and half an inch in circumference, and looked more like a watery excrescence, but yet was as sensitive to the touch, and bled even more freely and easily than before. {{anchor:s9}}I now gave Thuja<sup>6</sup> in morning, Thuja<sup>30</sup> at evening, and the next evening Thuja<sup>200</sup> and one dose Sac lac. each evening; in one week it had ceased bleeding entirely, and was diminished one half in size. {{anchor:s10}}Sac. lac. continued, and at the end of two weeks more all trace of it was gone and no spot left to show where it was.

{{anchor:s11}}Mrs. C. is light complexion, nervous temperament, has never been sick much, and I could not, by close inquiry, trace any hereditary taint, either sycotic or otherwise.

{{anchor:s12}}I have deemed the case interesting, and if you think it sufficiently so for insertion in your journal, you are at liberty to use it.
