"Frequent ineffectual urging to urinatewith diminished secretion".This medicine has many times dissolved a stone in the bladder; it so changes the character ofthe urine that it is no longer possible for the stone to build up, and it grows smaller by the continualdissolving off from the surface.

They hadsounded his bladder and said that he had a stone, but he came to the conclusion that he would notpermit the operation. In spite of their warnings he sent for me and I took charge of his case. Hissymptoms called for Sars. The enormous amount of sand he passed in the next year was wonderful.It mitigated the catarrh and kept the bladder comfortable. At the end of a year, after a night ofgreat suffering, he passed a stone--the size of a pea. He passed several small stones after that and thenreturned to heath.A young man passed so much crusty deposit that I ordered him to use one commode and let itsettle, pouring off the urine.

He was of a gouty nature and this was relieved.Sars. has gouty nodes with extreme soreness. After the remedy has been given, there is a depositof sand in the urine, which shows the good action of the remedy and should not be stopped.
