The Hahnemannian monthly . al Spasm.—A lad of thirteen years jumped from a heightand says that he heard something snap in his groin. On the next day, sixteenhours after, he was found in a tetanic spasm, leg flexed on thigh and thigh on ab-domen so that the knee was drawn nearly to the chin. In varying spacesof time the spasm would cease and he would be able to nearly straighten the the spasms were becoming more frequent and lasting longer, and the pain wasbecoming more and more intense. At the beginning of one of the spasms, a halfdrachm of passiflora was given with the effect of immediately lessening the severityof the spasm. The remedy was continued every half hour to hour as required, andthe spasms became shorter, milder and further apart, and the pain was much re-lieved. After a day or two, only a soreness remained, but the patient did not getup for a week or ten days, tor fear of a return of the pain. He received no othermedicine than the passiflora.—Medical Century, February 15, gJgMM OMTHLY.
