Kent`s cases 5 Abcess on face

Tarentula cubensis
A middle-aged gentleman had an abscess on the side of the face just in
front of the ear.
Suppuration was advanced and the fluctuation was marked.
Silicea had done some good as it had controlled the pain.
The cavity was aspirated by a surgeon several times but it continued to
refill.
After three weeks there was no abatement of the difficulty.
The integument took on a new feature, becoming bluish, mottled with great
burning and sharp cutting pains.
The hardness was extending and the opening gave out a bloody thin
excoriating fluid of foul smell.
He was chilly and nauseated and had symptoms of pyaemia.
After one dose of Tarantula cubensis 12x an immediate change for the
better took place, no more pus formed and he was well in ten days.
The discolored localization became a bright red and then faded to the
natural color.
The nausea and general pyoemic symptoms were greatly relieved within
twelve hours.
No more medicine.
