A shoemaker of Berlin was taken ill after catching cold. There was fever with violent pain in the right shoulder. The first visit I paid was on the third day after he had been taken ill; temperature high, pulse full and quick, thirst and loss of appetite. The right shoulder was very red and sensitive to the touch. He was not able to lie in his bed, as the pressure of the pillows was unbearable. He was lying on the sofa, supported with cushions, so that the shoulder should be free from pressure. I gave my patient Ferrum phos., as much as would cover a sixpenny piece. This was dissolved in a large glassful of water, and a teaspooufu] of the solution given every hour. Improvement was felt even after a few hours. During the night the patient was able to skip, and on the following day the fever abated; in three days he was able to move the arm pretty freely. In a few days longer he was entirely well.
