Kent's cases 99: Prolapsus (2) Lilium tigrinum

Lil-t. The above lady went home and sent me a similar case.
She called it "a case just like mine."

She was a short stout woman, dark hair and eyes. She had worn a Hodge
pessary for a year. She was unable to be about at housework, without the
pessary.
I removed the pessary and informed her that she would need to visit my
office every day for a week or so.
She was given Sac. lac., and every day I noted symptoms, until at the end
of a week I believed I had the symptoms that expressed the individuality of
the disease. The most marked feature was her mental state.
The remedy that would cure this case must have mental symptoms of
prominence in its picture.
She complained of a wild feeling in the head, and feared she would lose her
reason: Lil-t.
Bearing down in the pelvis as if the uterus would protrude: Sep., Lil-t..,
Murex, Natr-m., Nux-v., Puls, Pod. and others.
She must press on the vulva with the hand to prevent the parts from
protruding: Lil-t., Sep., Murex.
There were some flying pains going through the pelvis and down the thigh
like those found in Lil-t.
She took Lil-t. 30 for a day in water, and then Sac-lac. one week.

She had then improved so much that she had walked over the Zoological
garden, which she had not undertaken even with the pessary in situ.
She was sent home with a few powders of Lil-t. 200, to use as per
instruction, viz., to be used when she felt a return of the difficulty.
One year later she wrote me that she had taken one of the powders, and was
keeping the others with great care.
For this last case I was presented with a check for $50 over and after the
full payment for my services.
The husband said it was the cheapest doctor bill he had been called to pay.
One gynecologist had receipted a bill for $200, and this was but a small
part of the "sick expenses."
It may not pay as well to practice pure homoeopathy, but it is the honest
way.
