It is a common occurrence for a torpidglandular swelling that had remained painless for a long time, tosuddenly become painful, and to inflame and break. Such a swellinalways discharges a thin, badly-looking pus, the swelling decreasvery slowly in size, the bottom of the abscess is filled with a wish, elastic, lardaceous substance. Very commonly several openingexist at the same time. The suppurative process is always veryslow, and, if the patient is unfavorably situated in life, may dean hectic state of the system ; or else the sore may heal with abadly-colored, radiating, retracted cicatrix, under which remnantof the indurated gland are very commonly still felt. It oftenhappens that after one gland is healed, another adjoining glandswells and passes through the same process ; this may be the cour446 Diseases of the Arteries, Veins, Lymphatics, etc.of the glands for years. An affection of this kind is at a laterperiod very generally followed hy tuberculosis. ,There is another form of lymphadenitis where the glands arelikewise swollen and where a row of such swellings extends alongthe tract of a lymphatic vessel, but the glands are soft and flucing, generally painful even if not red. There is not always anescape of pus, in consequence of which the swelling rapidly discharges and heals to return again in some other locality ; absorpsometimes takes place in spite of the evideijtly considerableaccumulation of fluid. "We have noticed a phenomenon of thiskind in the case of a child one year old which was affected withan intense ansemia and — we state this incidentally — exhibited tpeculiarity that blowing murmurs were heard over the whole extentof the skull-cap; in this case the whole body was covered withthese swellings ; they fluctuated, became inflamed, disappeared athen showed themselves again in other places. The child died ofhydrocephalus at an age of eighteen months. Another chronicform was observed in the case of a man fifty years old. In thiscase the swellings appeared in company with the symptoms of ageneral marasmus, every swelling broke, but was perfectly painlesand the patient's strength was rapidly consumed by the suppurating process. The most ordinary localities for chronic lymphadenitare the neck and the upper extremities including the axilla, muchless frequently the lower extremities, without mentioning the nonsuppurating glandular swellings in the abdominal cavity.The manner in which the swelling originates, is of considerableimportance in a therapeutic point of view, exclusive even of specglandular swellings to which no reference is made here. If theswelling remains as a rest of acute lymphadenitis, Sulphur is asovereign remedy to disperse the swelling. This agent will seldomleave us in the lurch, and compel us to look for other remedies,such as Aurum^ Iodine^ SUicea, Calcarea carbonica.For a primary glandular, swelling Baryta is one of the mosteflElcient remedies ; in many cases this agent alone has enabledto avoid the suppurative process and to effect a complete absorptespecially of glandular swellings on the neck. Conium has nevershown any marked effect. If suppuration has set in, lodium andCalcarea carboniea render the most reliable aid. Beside these tworemedies we mention Graphites^ Sulphur^ Phosphorus, Silicea, Kalihttp://www.archive.org/stream/sciencetherapeu00kafkgoog/sciencetherapeu00kafkgoog_djvu.txt

We should never lose sight of the fact that a rapid disappearance of the swelling is among the impossibilities.If the swellings constitute the expression of an intense hecticconstitutional aflGection, Ccdcarea deserves a preference amongchildren and Arsenicum among adults. In such cases a cure is athing of very doubtful possibility.In other respects the treatment is very plain. K the patient'smode of living is improper and the constitution is likewise taintthe first thing to be done towards a cure is to regulate the dietand to prescribe an abundance of out-door exercise. This is moreeffectual than medicine. We are acquainted with a family wherethe children, three in number, were all of them suflfering withextensive lymphadenitis in consequence of occupying an unhealthydwelling in town and being restricted to an improper diet. Theyoungest child succumbed .to hectic fever and marasmus, the othertwo children who were sent into the country, have regained theirhealth and have grown stout and fresh, although both, at the timewhen they moved out of town, were afflicted with at least a dozenglandular abscesses.We ought not to omit mention of the Iodine springs of Hallwhich are an admirable remedy for these glandular abscesses.Unfortunately most of our patients are too poor to visit thesesprings, and the bottled water is not by any means what it shouldbe and leaves a good deal to be desired.0. DISEASES OF THE NERVES.The nervous system as immediately connected with the brain andspinal cord, having been considered in a previous chapter where aits general morbid alterations were treated of, it remains for usto devote a few paragraphs to two other abnormal conditions of thnervous system. We did not deem it expedient, from many reasons,to treat of all the difierent neuralgias generally in one chapter1. IscUas.Neuralgia of the ischiadic nerve constitutes one of the most frequent, and at the same time one of the most distressing forms of448 Diseases of the Nerves.neuralgia. Its causes are generally involved in uncertainty; a coexcessive exertions, abdominal afiections, stagnation of habitualhemorrhages, etc., are mentioned as such causes, but it is difficto trace a distinct connection between these two orders of phenomas cause and afiect. It is of course true that ischias attacks heand robust individuals much less frequently than persons of a sichttp://www.archive.org/stream/sciencetherapeu00kafkgoog/sciencetherapeu00kafkgoog_djvu.txt
