  	    A case of dropsy, given up by the faculty, fell into
 6	my hands. It was a terrible case. Tapping had been
  	employed, and yet, as she lay in her bed, the	              Dropsy cured
  	patient looked like a barrel. I prescribed	                              without drugs 
 9	the fourth attenuation of Argentum nitratum with occa-
  	sional doses of a high attenuation of Sulphuris. She im-
  	proved perceptibly. Believing then somewhat in the
12	ordinary theories of medical practice, and learning that
  	her former physician had prescribed these remedies, I
  	began to fear an aggravation of symptoms from their
15	prolonged use, and told the patient so; but she was
  	unwilling to give up the medicine while she was re-
  	covering. It then occurred to me to give her un-
18	medicated pellets and watch the result. I did so, and
  	she continued to gain. Finally she said that she would
  	give up her medicine for one day, and risk the
21	effects. After trying this, she informed me that she
  	could get along two days without globules; but on
  	the third day she again suffered, and was relieved by
24	taking them. She went on in this way, taking the
  	unmedicated pellets, — and receiving occasional visits
  	from me, — but employing no other means, and she was
27	cured.
