Kent's cases 58: Pains in right ovary Mercurius Solubilis

Mrs. R., a married lady, age 36, was taken violently ill with pains in right
ovary.
 
It was time for menstrual nisus.
Her suffering was very intense and she called her usual allopathic
attendant; Morphine hypodermically administered failed to give her the
desired relief.
She grew worse for four days.
Dr. B., one of our medical students boarding in the house at the time, was
asked to try his hand, but he advised them to send for me.
When I arrived her suffering had -not abated.
The pains were all over the body and the family were fearing a fatal
termination, with no confidence in Homoeopathy.
But allopathy had failed, and something must be done.
She was restless and thirsty.
There was sweat and coldness.
The pains were even worse in the sweating condition than before.
Extremities cold. Fetor of breath and sour perspiration. Lifting of the
covers chilled her.
I prepared Merc-sol. 6000 in water and left the young man to administer it.

In two hours she was sleeping soundly-the first rest for four days.
No more medicine was required.
She took Sac-lac for a few days and was dismissed.
