In the afternoon, in the outer canthus of the left eye, slight tickling, which gradually increased to a considerable itching, which compelled him to rub the eye, and made all work in the evening impossible. He attributed this to a glass of wine he had drunk at dinner contrary to custom. Sleep twice interrupted, and each time the itching in the eye was present (fourteenth day). About 4 P.M., tickling in the outer canthus of the left eye, and soon afterwards itching in it so violent as to cause him to rub it. In the evening, by candlelight, the itching extended to the inner canthus and changed into a shooting pain, on account of which it was midnight before he fell asleep, and not until he had allayed-the pain by means of cold compresses (fifteenth day).

This he did gently, so that it could not have caused the symptoms that followed. Thus the itching increased in the evening to burning.
the lids winked frequently, and the light hurt the eyes (second day). In the morning he awoke with stiff eyelids, which, however, soon regained their ordinary mobility.

But on the approach of night and at the sight of candles, the edges of the left of the eyelids commenced to burn, and photophobia came on. On reading or writing the eye watered, and the pain increased, preventing him going on with his work (third day). In the morning, on awaking, he could not open the eye immediately on account of the stiffness of the lids.
he only succeeded in doing so after several trials, and then there appeared a considerable quantity of mucus, which obscured the sight, and in spite of frequent wiping away continued to return.

The red areola, which had surrounded the swelling as long as there was only pus in it, almost disappeared at first when the clear fluid collected among the pus. In the course of the day, however, a redness appeared at the border of the collection, which, gradually becoming more intense and extending further, at length died away at an undefined limit.

The nitrogenous constituents of the urine were decidedly increased after the use of Sulphur.
the urea rose from 31 grams to 42 grams.
the uric acid rose from 0.3 to 1.2 grams.
the quantity of mucus was about doubled. In another case the urea rose from 25 to 27 grams.
the uric acid from 0.6 to 0.8.
mucus from 0.2 to 5.4 in spite of increased evacuation from the bowels. In another case the urea rose from 23 to 25 grams.
the stable salts, earthy phosphates, unstable salts, and extractives sometimes increased, sometimes diminished,.
On the 22d of December, 1845, I examined the urine passed in the evening, in regard to its chemical constituents.
It had a very pale white-wine color, and almost the appearance of so-called spastic urine.
when first passed, and after standing some time, it was equally pure and clear, and had a specific gravity of 1018, that is, less than normal.
a marked acid reaction.
an increased quantity of uric acid.
a smaller quantity of nitrate of urea than normal.
earthy phosphates increased.
a large quantity of sulphates.
a normal quantity of chlorides.
phosphate of soda in large quantity.
uroxanthin diminished.
The morning and evening urine of the 23d of December had a specific gravity of 1015 and 1016, little ammonia, much free uric acid, and nearly a normal proportion of sulphates.
The urine examined on the 24th of December had a specific gravity of 1021, that of the 28th of December, 1010, and that of the 31st of December, 1021.
As regards their constituents, however, they exactly agree with the urine of the 22d of December.
The urine passed in the morning of the 7th of January, 1846, was of a dark-sherry color, clear, deposited no sediment, had a strong acid reaction, and a specific gravity of 1017.
The earthy phosphates, sulphates and uric acid were increased, the chlorides normal, the urea lessened.
The morning urine of the 8th of January was pale bright-yellow, clear, without sediment, acid; it had a specific gravity of 1020.
The earthy phosphates, the sulphates, the phosphate of soda, and the uric acid were increased, the chlorides normal.
The morning urine of the 9th of January was pale-sherry color, clear, without sediment, specific gravity 1021.
The uric acid and all the salts increased, only the chlorides normal, the uroxanthin abundant, the urea diminished.
The morning urine of the 14th of January had a specific gravity of 1019; the sulphates and the uric acid were very abundant.
The morning urine of the 15th of January had a specific gravity of 1023, and a great deal of uroxanthin; otherwise similar to that of the previous day.
From the 20th to 31st of January I made almost daily quantitative and qualitative analyses of the urine.
The morning urine was usually of a pale-sherry color, clear, and without sediment; the urine passed after dinner, or in the evening, was dark-sherry color.
The specific gravity on the 20th was 1015, and the following five days 1022.
It had generally a strong acid reaction.
abundance of uroxanthin.
the urea, was a rule, diminished, the chlorides generally normal, the earthy phosphates somewhat increased, the phosphates of soda and sulphates much increased.
the uric acid was deposited in much greater quantity than in the normal state, but was of very loose texture, and hence a large quantity weighed very little.
Thus the urine of the 22d of January contained in 1000 parts 943.6 of water, and 56.4 of solid constituents, and among the latter uric acid formed only the 0.365th part.
The urine of the 21st January contained in 1000 parts 949.6 of water, and 50.4 of solid constituents, of which the sulphates formed the 0.65th part.
The urine on the 28th of January was also of a bright-yellow color, clear, without sediment, strongly acid, its specific gravity 1016, but otherwise resembled that of the previous days.
The qualitative analysis showed in 1000 parts 961.6 of water, and 38.4 of solid constituents.
The uric acid was abundant.
I took 22 grams of urine, precipitated the sulphates, and obtained 0.14 parts of sulphate of potash, which, consequently, in the proportion of 1000 parts showed the presence of the considerable quantity of 5.6 parts.
On heating recently emitted urine in an ammonia apparatus, the vapor arising tinged the litmus-paper blue, and the same reaction took place on adding Causticum caustic potash, which expelled the ammonia.
Thus for three days there was free ammonia in my urine, which does not and should not occur in normal urine, and is to be ascribed to the action of the Sulphur.
The urine of the 29th, 30th, and 31st of January was of a dark-sherry color, clear, and without sediment, had a specific gravity of 1018, 1019, and was not changed by heat.
the urea was as usual small in quantity, the chlorides normal, the earthy phosphates abundant, the sulphates, and the phosphate of soda very copious.
The uric acid, which was deposited in great quantity, was combined with ammonia.
In the urine of the 30th and 31st of January were traces of iron; there can be no doubt that it came from the blood by a peculiar process of excretion, probably induced by the excess of Sulphur,.
He felt as if the urine was retained by contraction of the sphincter muscle of the bladder, although it seemed as if it must come away in consequence of the pressure on the bladder, and yet only a short time previously he had emptied his bladder.
the same sensation in the anus (third day).

the urine passed after eating, in small quantity, had the color of dark sherry, and a sp. gr. of 1026 (fortieth day).
in the morning, urine passed in considerable quantity, had a dark-sherry wine color, and a sp. gr. of 1008 (fifty-first day),.

a small pimple on the glans (sixth day). Respecting his sensations from the 5th to the 28th of August, during which time he took no medicine he says "The itching and smarting on the prepuce and glans continued to increase.
it is with the greatest difficulty I can refrain from scratching and rubbing.
the pimple on the glans is gone. During this time, the skin of the prepuce desquamated.
the inflammation extended along the whole penis to the pubes.
the itching and smarting were very violent and tiresome. The desquamation of the epidermis, which recurred every six or seven days, lasted several months,".
At night, he awoke with violent shooting pains in the lower third of the left shoulderblade, much aggravated by movements, but also so violent when quite quiet that he could not sleep all night (tenth day).
in the morning, these pains extended further upwards, towards the upper part of the scapula.
whence they spread to the muscles of the nape and the left ear, and were worse when moving or turning the neck.
they were less violent than in the night, and not so distinctly shooting, more drawing and tearing.
they diminished gradually during the day, so that he thought he had quite lost them, but in this he was mistaken, for at night, in the warmth of the bed, they returned with renewed violence.
at last he fell asleep, but on account of the pains he passed a very restless night.
he had never before experienced anything similar (eleventh day).
in the morning, one hour after getting up, the pain in the left shoulder declined, and gave but little annoyance during the day.
the pain in the left shoulder continued in a slight degree, but did not much disturb the night's rest (twelfth day).
in the morning, in bed, he experienced the pain in the left scapula, but less violent than before, and nearer the joint.
it lasted all day, and ceased towards evening (sixteenth day),.

in the morning, after waking, the pain again came into the left hand.
it was, however, not so bad as yesterday, but it became very severe after dinner, especially when the finger was touched, and went off in the evening after exercise (seventieth day),.
In the evening, when walking, very severe drawing pains in both thighs (forty-second day). In the morning, when walking, such violent drawing pains, especially in the right thigh, that I had often to stop, and could not walk without limping.

The pain in the right thigh lasted all the forenoon.
it is certainly not so bad as yesterday, but still bad enough to make me limp, when commencing to walk, when it is always worse. Judging by the feeling, this pain was deeply seated in the thigh. In the afternoon I had no painful sensation, though I had walked a great deal (forty-fourth day),.

Sulphur is the great Hahnemannian anti-psoric. Sulphur's action is centrifugal-from within outward-having an elective affinity for the skin, where it produces heat and burning, with itching; made worse by heat of bed. Inertia and relaxation of fiber; hence feebleness of tone characterizes its symptoms. Ebullitions of heat, dislike of water, dry and hard hair and skin, red orifices, sinking feeling at stomach about 11 am, and cat-nap sleep; always indicate Sulphur homeopathically. Standing is the worst position for Sulphur patients, it is always uncomfortable. Dirty, filthy people, prone to skin affections. Aversion to being washed. When carefully-selected remedies fail to act, especially in acute diseases, it frequently arouses the reactionary powers of the organism. Complaints that relapse. General offensive character of discharge and exhalations. Very red lips and face, flushing easily. Often great use in beginning the treatment of chronic cases and in finishing acute ones.

Sulphur is an elementary substance, occurring in nature as a brittle crystalline solid, burning in the air with a blue flame, being oxidised to Sulphur dioxide (Sulphurous acid).
The reputation of Sulphur as a remedy is perhaps as old as medicine. "As early as 2,000 years ago," says Hahnemann, "Sul. had been used as the most powerful specific against the itch.
. The itch, with which the workers in wool are so much affected, causes an intolerably agreeable, tingling, itching, gnawing as of vermin.
Some designate it as an intolerably voluptuous titillating itching, ceasing as soon as the parts are scratched and commencing to burn, which burning continues after the scratching.
Sul. frequently produces in healthy persons burning-itching pimples and vesicles resembling the itch vesicles, and especially itching in the joints, and in the night." The specific power of Sul. to cure itch was abused.
It was applied externally as baths and ointments, and the skin affection was not cured but repelled, and a host of secondary affections appeared in its place.
Hahnemann found in Sul. the homoeopathic counterpart of the peculiar constitutional dyscrasia which tends to manifest in itch-like eruptions, and which he named Psora.
Sul. is the chief of the antipsoric remedies.
A proving of Sul. appears in the M. M. P., and this is amplified in the Chronic Diseases.
The domestic use of Sul. (in the familiar "Brimstone and Treacle") as a "Spring medicine" is based on its antipsoric properties. "It is one of the most popular diaphoretics of the day," says Milne, "few old women failing to use it when any eruption is supposed to be struggling through the skin." It is this property of Sul. to divert to the surface constitutional irritants which renders it the chief of Hahnemann's antipsorics.
Sul. has also an antipsoric action independently of its power of "bringing out" rashes.
The psoric poison may be present and active in a case of disease and "apparently well-indicated remedies may fail to act" in consequence.
In such cases one or two doses of Sul. will frequently antidote, as it were, the psora, and either clear up the case, or open the way for the action of other remedies.
In such cases there will almost certainly be some Sul. indications present.
Sul. is a potent antiseptic, and is one of the most certain destroyers of the acarus of itch.
The exact relation of acarus itch to psora and other itching eruptions need not be considered.
but as Sul. has the power of repressing constitutional eruptions when locally applied, as well as the power of destroying the acarus, it is best to use other means (e.g., Oil of Lavender) for the latter purpose, and give Sul. or other indicated remedies internally.
In my experience the psora of Hahnemann (which is a very real and definite dyscrasia) is generally inherited.
The symptoms of latent psora are set forth in detail in Hahnemann's Chronic Diseases, and they are for the most part almost exact reproductions of the symptoms of Sul.
But whilst Sul. is the chief of antipsorics, it is only one of many; and Sul. is in no way limited in its uses to cases of latent or declared psora.
Much more important is it to know the leading features of the drug's action, which are sure guides in any case. ($51$) A key to many of the Sul. conditions is to be found in an irregular distribution of the circulation flushes of heat.
rush of blood to head, chest, heart.
plethora from suddenly suppressed eruptions, piles, discharges.
heat and burning sensation of all parts or coldness, sweating of many parts.
These irregularities may go on to actual inflammation with effusions; and to fever of intermittent or other types.
Another manifestation of this is found in the redness of orifices and parts near orifices red ears, red nose; red eyelids and red borders round eyelids brilliant red lips; bright red anus in children; red meatus urinarius; red vulva.
The orifices are not only red and congested, but they are sore and hypersensitive as well; the passage of all discharges or excretions is painful. (2) The other side of this feeling of fulness is a feeling of emptiness.
There is no medicine which has this symptom in a more extreme degree than Sul., and there is no single symptom that is of greater value to the homoeopathic prescriber than "Faint, sinking, all-gone sensation at 11 a.m." When that symptom is marked I give Sul. (generally 30), and get all the good I can out of the remedy before prescribing anything else, and very rarely am I disappointed.
There is no need to wait to be told the symptom, or to ask patients directly if they experience it.
I generally ask if they get hungry out of their usual mealtimes; and if they say "Yes"; I ask "What time?" The time need not be exactly eleven; though that is the most characteristic time.
People who "must have something between breakfast and dinner-time" are generally benefited by Sul.
Sulphur ravenous hunger at 11 is often associated with other Sul. symptoms, as heat at vertex; dyspepsia; portal congestion; constipation with ineffectual urging; piles; constipation alternating with diarrhoea.
When the dyspeptic gets food and relieves his hunger he begins to feel puffed up, feels heavy and sluggish, and is low-spirited, he scarcely cares to live.
The dyspepsia of Sul. is often the result of suppressed eruptions.
It is well known that drunkenness "runs in families," and the underlying disease of drunkenness is often psora.
Sul. both causes and cures craving for beer and spirits.
Gallavardin cured many apparently hopeless drunkards with Sul. 1m.
The "sinking, empty, all-gone sensation" is a common feature in the dyspepsia of drunkards.
Dyspepsia from farinaceous food.
Cannot take milk; vomits it at once; sour vomit with undigested food.
Voracious appetite is a frequent symptom of scrofula, and scrofula and psora are frequently convertible terms.
Defective assimilation; hungry yet emaciated.
Stopped catarrh; nose obstructed indoors, amel. out of doors.
The child looks dried up, a little old man; skin hanging in folds, yellowish, wrinkled, flabby.
Head large in proportion to body.
Lymphatic glands enlarged.
Defective assimilation.
When scrofula exists without particular symptoms Sul. will develop them.
Allied to scrofula is tuberculosis; in connection with which many symptoms of Sul. appear marasmus with hunger at 11 a.m.; sore, red orifices; flushes of heat.
In tuberculosis of the lungs a keynote is "body feels too hot." The patient must have windows open no matter how cold the weather may be.
The caution is usually given to repeat Sul. seldom in cases of tuberculosis; and to give it only in the early stages. (3) "agg.
By heat" is another keynote of Sul., and marks it out as the remedy in a large number of cases; the agg. is most noticeable by warmth of the bed.
Whenever a patient says he is all right till he gets warm in bed, Sul. must be examined, it will generally cover the case. (In some cases stove heat amel.) The cases of rheumatism and sciatica requiring Sul. will generally have amel. morning and agg. at night in bed. (4) "agg.
At night" is scarcely less characteristic.
Sul. is related to both the sun and the moon, which makes it one of the most important of periodics.
Cooper cured many cases of neuralgia agg. at noon or at midnight.
He regards every twelve hours as the most characteristic periodicity, but it may be multiples or divisions of twelve.
Lippe cured with "a single dose of Sul. at new moon" a case of menorrhagia, patient had not been well since her last miscarriage.
Skinner gave to a man who had paresis of the lower limbs a single dose of Sul. cm, with instructions to take it on a certain date (when the moon was full).
The man recovered almost suddenly.
Cooper has had some important experience with Sul. in intermittent fevers.
He generally gave two pilules of Sul. Ø every four hours.
Correspondents of his found this treatment preserve them from fever in India, and one, an officer, by means of it kept his regiment of sepoys in health when many others were in hospital.
One writer treated nine cases with the pilules, and arrested the fever in twenty-four hours.
One of the cases was a particularly obstinate one, and had been pronounced by the doctors to be complicated with liver affection.
Quinine had been tried before the Sul. cured.
In a case of "Chagres fever" (of West Indies), which had lasted three months, Cooper ordered a Sulphur bath as well as the Sul. pilules.
That single bath seemed to alter the whole condition; from being an unhealthy, anaemic, bilious-looking man, the patient rapidly became the picture of health.
Cooper recalls the fact that workers in Sulphur mines, though in malarial districts, enjoy a complete immunity from intermittent fevers.
The power of Sul. in acute inflammatory conditions is allied to its action in intermittent fevers.
Sul. is the chronic of Aconite Acon. in the effects of chills; and if Aconite Acon. does not promptly solve the difficulty, Sul. will be required.
In the acute inflammations of the high South African plateau, where the variations of temperature are extreme, and chills and their consequences are Very common, Van den Heuvel tells me that for the pain, fever, and anxiety before physical signs have appeared, Aconite Acon. is his first remedy.
But if the fever does not yield in twenty-four to forty-eight hours, Sul. will clear it up. "Chill" is "suppression" in another form.
Sul. is a remedy of such universal power that it may be misleading to speak of it as more related to one side than to another.
Taken altogether there are more symptoms on the left side than the right.
It acts strongly on the left side of the chest "Sharp stitching pains through left lung to back, agg. lying on back. agg. by least motion," is characteristic.
In a case of left pleuro-pneumonia following a violent haemoptysis, Sul. 30 rescued a patient of mine from a condition which seemed desperate.
Sul. acts on the whole respiratory tract, from the nose to the lung tissues.
It causes a condition often met with in scrofulous patients, nasal catarrh where the nose is stopped indoors and free out of doors.
All the features of asthma are produced in the pathogenesis, and Sul. has the alternation between skin irritation and asthma often met with in asthmatics.
Villers (H. R., xv. p. 563) relates the case of a girl, 22, afflicted since three years old with eczemas of the most varied form, mostly moist, the chief seat being the region about the pudenda, armpits, fold behind ear; but the whole body was defaced, the only parts which had remained white and normal being the breasts.
She had been continuously under treatment for the nineteen years, the worst effects resulting when external applications had been used to dry up the eruption.
Then most frightful asthma occurred, which lasted till the corrosive, ill-smelling eruption appeared again.
She had recently come under the care of a homoeopath, who gave Arsenicum Iodatum Ars. iod.. 3. From this there resulted a condition of which the patient said, "I cannot describe it, but I felt as if I was being killed." Her doctor then sent her to Villers, who sent her for three months to a water-cure before he would commence treatment.
Her general health was somewhat improved thereby, but the skin remained the same.
He then thought of some very high potencies he possessed, and gave a few pellets of Sul. cm.
Three days later he was sent for in a great hurry late one evening, and on arrival found the patient had torn off all her clothes, was rolling about on the floor of her room, continually trying to rub her back and her legs on the legs of chairs or the edge of the door.
Then she jumped up, brought a knife from the kitchen and scraped her whole body; would eat nothing and only drank enormous quantities of cold beverages.
Sulphur lasted five days, after which she slept for two full days.
Then this happened The eruption dried up completely and scaled as after scarlatina.
The girl had always had very weak menses; the next three were increasingly strong and intolerably fetid.

For homoeopathic use the roll sulphur of commerce is redistilled at a gentle heat, forming (flores sulphuris) and then washed by shaking with alcohol to remove any acid that may adhere to it.
For more than 2, 000 years sulphur has been found a most efficacious remedy against the itch, while not a single physician noticed, or had even the faintest idea, that this was effected by the law of similars (Homoeopathy). The itch, which is so common among workers in wool, causes a sort of , as from lice.
this is also described by some as an , which ceases as soon as the finger is applied to it, to scratch it, and then begins to burn, and after scratching it continues to burn on that spot. So also the sulphur taken by healthy persons frequently causes similar pimples and vesicles with a , also chiefly on the joints and by night. This great specific virtue of sulphur against itch was during all these centuries merely abused to drive away the itch from the skin by external applications, while the internal itch malady remained uncured.
Many physicians, indeed, also gave sulphur internally.
but the ointment rubbed in had already driven away the disease from the skin and some acute or chronic disease is the inevitable sad consequence of this treatment. The sulphur given by allopathic physicians is also crude sulphur in doses which excite purging and which, therefore, can never cure, nor have ever cured any itch by the internal application alone.
If the mere drinking of sulphureous mineral waters without their external application has ever been able to effect such a cure, this was done because this substance had been comminuted in the bosom of the earth in a mechanical manner similar to that employed by the homoeopath, and thus its internal medicinal virtues had been developed.
Sulphur, given by the hand of the physician who does not proceed homoeopathically, and who, therefore, has not first dynamized (potentized) Sulphur, and, indeed, potentized it highly, has never cured the (primary) itch of workers in wool, through its merely internal application, which is the only safe way of applying it. The more highly and intensively more strongly the sulphur has been potentized, the more surely will it cure.
Formerly I considered the extract of sulphur, made with alcohol and called , as sufficient.
but now, after having experimentally compared it, I consider it far inferior to the other preparations, effected by trituration the flowers of sulphur with one hundred parts of sugar of milk, up to the millionth-potency and the further dynamization of the solution of this potency, in the manner employed with other dry drugs. The latter dynamization I am compelled to recognize as the most perfect sulphur-medicine. The alcohol in the tinctura sulphuris seems only to attract some particular portion of the sulphur, but not all of its constituents without exception, not the entire sulphur.
In cases where sulphur was homoeopathically indicated, it also relieved the following ailments, if present at the same time

Brimstone. Hahnemann. Flowers of Sulphur.
Sulphur is such a full remedy that it is somewhat difficult to tell where to begin.
It seems to contain a likeness of all the sicknesses of man, and a beginner on reading over the proving of Sulphur might naturally think that he would need no other remedy, as the image of all sickness seems to be contained in it.
Yet you will find it will not cure all the sicknesses of man, and it is not well to use it indiscriminately any more than you would any other remedy. It seems that the less a physician knows of the Materia Medica the oftener he gives Sulphur, and yet it is very frequently given, even by good prescribers.
so that the line between physiciansAE ignorance and knowledge cannot be drawn from the frequency with which Sulphur is prescribed by them.
Aspect The Sulphur patient is a lean, lank, hungry, dyspeptic fellow with stoop shoulders, yet many times it must be given to fat, rotund, well fed people.
The angular, lean, stoop-shouldered patient, however, is the typical one, and especially when he has become so from long periods of indigestion, bad assimilation and feeble nutrition. The Sulphur state is sometimes brought about by being long housed up and adapting the diet to the stomach.
Persons who lead sedentary lives, confined to their rooms in study, in meditation, in philosophical inquiry, and who take no exercise, soon find out that they must eat only the simplest foods, foods not sufficient to nourish the body, and they end up by going into a philosophical mania.
There is another class of patients in whom we see a Sulphur appearance in the face; dirty, shriveled, red-faced people. The skin seems to be easily affected by the atmosphere. He becomes red in the face from riding inthe air, both in very cold and in damp weather.
He has a delicate, thin skin, blushing on the slightest occasion, always red and dirty looking, no matter how much he washes it. If it be a child, the mother may wash the face often, but it always looks as if it had been perfunctorily washed.
Hering called the Sulphur patient "the ragged philosopher."
The Sulphur scholar, the inventor, works day and night in threadbare clothes and battered hat.
he has long, uncut hair and a dirty face.
his study is uncleanly, it is untidy.
books and leaves of books are piled up indiscriminately.
there is no order. It seems that Sulfur produces this state of disorder, a state of untidiness, a state of uncleanness, a state of "care how things go," and a state of selfishness.
He becomes a false philosopher and the more he goes on in this state the more he is disappointed because the world does not consider him the greatest man on earth. Old inventors work and work, and fail.
The complaints that arise in this kind of case, even the acute complaints, will run to Sulphur You take such a patient and you will notice that he has on a shirt that he has worn many weeks; if he has not a wife to attend to him, he would wear his shirt until it fell off from him.
Cleanliness is not a great idea with the Sulphur patient.
he thinks it is not necessary. He is dirty.
he does not see the necessity of putting on a clean collar and cuffs and a clean shirt.
it does not worry him. Sulphur is seldom indicated in cleanly people, but it is commonly indicated in those who are not disturbed by uncleanliness.
Odor When attending the public clinic I have many times noticed that after Sulphur an individual begins to take notice of himself and puts on a clean shirt, whereas his earlier appearances were in the one same old shirt. And it is astonishing how the Sulphur patients, especially the little ones, can get their clothing dirty so fast.
The odor of the stool is so offensive that it will follow him around all day. He thinks he can smell it. Because of his sensitiveness to odors he is more cleanly about his bowels than anything else. It is an exaggerated sense of smell. He is always imagining and hunting for offensive odors. He has commonly such a strong imagination that he smells the things which he has only in memory.
The Sulphur patient has filthiness throughout. He is the victim of filthy odors. He has a filthy breath, he has an intensely foetid stool.
he has filthy smelling genitals, which can be smelled in the room in spite of his clothing, and he himself smells them. The discharges are always more or less foetid, having strong, offensive odors. In spite of constant washing the axillae give out a pungent odor, and at times the whole body gives off an odor like that coming from the axillae.
Discharges The discharges of Sulphur from every part of the body, besides being offensive, are excoriating The Sulfur patient is afflicted with catarrhs of all mucous membranes, and the catarrhal discharges everywhere excoriate him. Often with the coryza the discharge excoriates the lips and the nose.
At times the fluid that remains in the nose smarts like fire, and when it comes in contact with the child's lip it burns, so acrid is it; almost like the condition under Sulphuricum acid, so red will be the parts that are touched by it.
There is copious leucorrhoea that excoriates the genitals. The thin feces cause burning and rawness around the anus. In women if a drop of urine remains about the genitals it will burn; very often it is not sufficient to wipe it away, it must be washed away to relieve the smarting.
In children we find excoriation about the anus and between the buttocks.
the whole length of the fissure is red, raw and inflamed from the stool. From this tendency a keynote has been constructed, and not a bad one either, all the fluids burn the parts over which they pass," which is the same as saying that the fluids are acrid and cause smarting. This is true everywhere in Sulphur.
There are vesicular, pustular, furuncular, scaly eruptions, all attended with much itching, and some of them with discharge and suppuration. The skin, even without any eruption, itches much, itches from the warmth of the bed and from wearing woolen clothing.
Many times the Sulphur patient cannot wear anything except silk or cotton. The warmth of the room will drive him to despair if he cannot get at the itching part to scratch it. After scratching there is burning with relief of the itching. After scratching or after getting into the warmth of the bed great white welts come out all over the body, with much itching, and these he keeps on scratching until the skin becomes raw, or until it burns, and then comes a relief of the itching.
Sulphur process goes on continuously; dreadful itching at right in bed, and in the morning when he wakes up he starts in again and the eruptions itch and ooze. Crops of boils and little boil-like eruptions come out and this makes it useful in impetigo.
Sulphur is useful in suppurations It establishes all sorts of suppurating cavities, small abscesses and large abscesses; abscesses beneath the skin, in the cellular tissues and in internal organs. The suppurative tendency is very marked in Sulphur The glands become inflamed and the inflammation goes on to suppuration.
Burning Wherever there is a Sulphur complaint you will find burning
Every part burns. burning where there is congestion.
burning of the skin or a sensation of heat in the skin.
burning here and there in spots.
burning in the glands, in the stomach, in the lungs.
burning in the bowels, in the rectum.
burning and smarting in the hemorrhoids.
burning when passing urine, or a sensation of heat in the bladder. There is heat here and there, but when the patient describes something especially typical of Sulphur she says.
"Burning of the soles of the feet in the palms of the hands, and on the top of the head."
Burning of the soles of the feet will very often be noticed after the patient becomes warm in bed. The Sulphur patient has so much heat and burning of the soles at night in bed that he puts the feet out from, beneath the clothes, sleeps with the feet outside the covering. The soles and palms of the Sulphur patient when examined present a thick skin which burns on becoming warm in bed.
Many complaints come on from becoming warm in bed The Sulphur patient cannot stand heat and cannot stand cold, though there is a strong craving for the open air. He wants an even temperature; he is disturbed if the temperature changes much.
So far as his breathing is concerned, when he has much distress he wants the doors and windows open. The body, however, he is frequently forced to have covered, but if he is warmly clad he is bothered with the itching and burning of the skin.
"Intermittent periodic neuralgia, worse every 24 hours, generally at 12 A.M. or 12 P.M."
Middayis another time of aggravation of the Sulphur complaints. It has chills at noon, fevers increase at noon, increase of the mental symptoms at noon, headache worse at noon. Complaints that come once a week, a seven-day aggravation, is another peculiar condition of Sulphur
Diarrhea it is a common feature for a Sulphur patient to have a peculiar kind of diarrhoea which has been long known as "a Sulphur diarrhoea," though many other remedies have a similar condition, viz. diarrhoea coming on early in the morning.
The Sulphur diarrhoea belongs to the time between midnight and morning, but more commonly the time that he begins to think about rising.
The diarrhea drives him out of bed.
It is generally thin, watery; there is not much gushing, and it is not very copious, sometimes quite scanty, sometimes yellow faecal. After this morning stool he has, in many cases, no further trouble till next morning.
There are many people who go on year after year with, this urging to stool driving out of bed in the morning. The patient suffers from pain, griping, uneasiness, and burning soreness through the bowels. The stool burns while it is passing, and all parts that it comes in contact with are made sore and raw, and there is much chafing.
He is always drinking water. He wants much water.
He also speaks of a hungry feeling, a desire for food, but when he comes to the table, he loathes the food, turns away from it, does not want it.
He eats almost nothing, takes only the simplest and lightest things. There is a craving for stimulants, for alcohol, and an aversion to milk and meat; these latter make him sick and he loathes them.
One of the old men invented out of these things the keynote "drinks much and eats little."
Sulphur is true under Sulphur, but many other remedies have the same thing. As to the use of keynotes I would impress on you that it is well to gather together all the symptoms with their associations. It will not do to place much dependence on one little symptom, or even on two or three little symptoms. The symptoms of the whole case must be considered and then, if the keynotes and characteristics and everything else cause the remedy to be well rounded out and full, and to look like the whole patient, only then is it suitable.
There is emptiness occurring at 11 o'clock in the forenoon. If there is any time in the whole twenty-four hours that he feels hungry it is at 11 o'clock. It seems as though he cannot wait for his dinner.
There is this also about the Sulphur patient he is very hungry about his customary mealtimes and, if the meal is delayed, he becomes weak and nauseated. Those that are accustomed to eat at about 12 o'clock will have that all-gone hungry feeling at 11 A.M. Those accustomed to eat about 1 or 1-30 will have it about 12 o'clock. The all-gone sensation is about one hour before the accustomed time of eating with many people.
In a sort of condensed way a strong Sulphur group is this an all gone hungry feeling in the stomach at 11 A.M., burning of the soles and heat in the top of the head.
These three things have been looked upon as a sine qua non of Sulphur, but they are scarcely the beginning of Sulphur
The skin will not heal. Small wounds continue to suppurate; abscesses formed under the skin become little discharging cavities with fistulous openings, and these leak and discharge for a long time.
Sulphur produces an infiltration in inflamed parts, so that they become indurated and these indurations last for years. When the inflammation is in a vital organ, like the lungs, this infiltration cannot always be endured; it leaves infiltrations after pneumonia called hepatization.
Sulphur produces this same tendency in inflamed parts throughout the body and hence its great use in hepatization.
Sulphur is a very useful remedy when the patient does not react after a prolonged disease, because of a condition in the economy, a psoric condition. When a patient is drawing near the end of an acute disease he becomes weak and prostrated. The inflammatory state ends in suppuration and infiltrations.
the patient is in a state of weakness, much fatigued and prostrated, and has night sweats.
they cannot let liquor alone. They crave strong and pungent things, want nothing to eat, but want cold water and alcoholic drinks, They go on drinking till greatly exhausted and then their complaints come on. Sulphur will for a while take away this craving for drink and build him up.
The tissues seem to take on weakness, so that very little pressure causes soreness, sometimes inflammation and suppuration. Bed sores come on easily in a Sulphur patient, as there is feeble circulation. Induration from pressure is also a strong feature.
Sulphur has corns from pressure, callosities from pressure. These affections come easily. If a shoe presses anywhere on the skin a great corn or bunion develops. Where the teeth come in contact with the tongue and other parts of the buccal cavity nodules form and these little nodules in course of time commence to ulcerate.
We notice a marked evidence of disturbance of the veins under Sulphur It is a venous remedy, has much vein trouble. The veins seem to be relaxed and there is sluggish circulation. There is a flushed appearance of the face here and there from slight irritation, from the weather, from irritation of the clothing.
Tumefaction of the face. Sulphur has varicose veins.
most marked of these are hoemorrhoidal veins, which are enlarged and burn and sting. Varices of the extremities. The veins even ulcerate, rupture and bleed. When going out of a cold into a warm atmosphere the patient suffers from enlarged veins, from puffiness of the hands and feet, from a sense of fullness throughout the body.
The Sulphur patient emaciates, and a peculiar feature is the emaciation of the limbs with distended abdomen The abdomen is tumid, with rumbling, burning and soreness, and with the distended abdomen there is emaciation of all other parts. The muscles of the neck, back thorax and limbs wither, and the muscles of the abdomen are also wasted, but there is much distension of the abdomen itself. This condition of affairs is found in marasmus.
You will find a similar state under Calc Carb Calcarea; and, in women needing Calc Carb Calcarea, you willnotice great enlargement, distension and hardness of the abdomen with shriveling of all other parts of the body.
Under Sulphur there are flashes of heat to the face and head, like those which women have at the climacteric period. The flash of heat in Sulphur begins somewhere in the heart region, generally said to be in the chest, and it feels as if, inside the body, a glow of heat is rising to the face. The face is red, hot and flushed, and finally the heat ends in sweat.
Flashes of heat with sweat and red face.
the head is in a glow. Sometimes the patient will describe a feeling as if hot steam were inside the body and gradually rising up, and then she breaks out in a sweat. At times you will see a woman having little shiverings followed by flashes of heat and red splotches in the face, and then she fans vigorously.
cannot fan fast enough, and she wants the doors and windows open.
Such is Sulphur as well as Lachesis Lachesis and many others. When the flashes begin in the chest, about the heart, it is more like Sulphur, but when in the back or in the stomach it is more like Phosphorus Phosphorus
Among other general aggravations we have an aggravation from standing in Sulphur All complaints are made worse by standing for a length of time. Standing is the most difficult position for a Sulphur patient, and there is an aggravation of the confusion of mind, dizziness, the stomach and abdominal symptoms, and a sense of enlargement and fullness of the veins and dragging down in the pelvis in women, from standing. The patient must sit down or keep moving, if on her feet. She can walk fairly well, but is worse when standing quiet.
An aggravation after sleep fits into many of the complaints of Sulphur, but especially those of the mind and sensorium. Most of the, complaints of Sulphur are also worse after eating
The Sulphur patient is aggravated from, bathing He dreads a bath. He does not bathe himself and from his state in general he belongs to "the great unwashed" He cannot take a bath without catching "cold"
Sulphur will clear up the constitutional state when remedies have failed to reach the whole case because they are not deep enough. If the infant does not develop properly, if the bones do not grow, and there is slow closing of the fontanelles, Calc Carb Calcarea carbonica may be the remedy and Sulphur is next in importance for such slow growth.
You would not suppose that the Sulphur patient is so nervous as he is, but he is full of excitement; easily startled by noise, wakens, from sleep in a start as if he had heard a cannon report or seen a "spook"
The Sulphur patient is the victim of much trouble in his sleep. He is very sleepy in the fore part of the night, at times sleeping till 3 A.M., but from that time on he has restless sleep, or does not sleep at all. He dreads daylight, wants to go to sleep again, and when he does sleep he can hardly be aroused, and wants to sleep late in the morning. That is the time he gets his best rest and his soundest sleep. He is much disturbed by dreadful dreams and nightmare.
When the symptoms agree, Sulphur will be found a curative medicine in erysipelas. For erysipelas as a name we have no remedy, but when the patient has erysipelas and his symptoms conform to those of Sulphur, you can cure him with Sulphur
If you bear that distinction in mind you will be able to see what Homoeopathy means; it treats the patient and not the name that the sickness goes by.
The Sulphur patient is annoyed throughout his economy with surgings of blood here and there surging, with fullness of the head, which we have heretofore described as flashes of heat. It has marked febrile conditions and can be used in acute diseases.
Sulphur is suitable in the most troublesome "scrofulous" complaints in broken-down constitutions and defective assimilation. It has deep seated, ragged ulcers on the lower extremities, indolent ulcers, ulcers that will not granulate. They burn, and the little moisture that oozes out burns the parts round about. It is indicated often in varicose ulcers that bleed easily and burn much.
In old cases of gout, Sulphur is a useful remedy. It is a deep-acting remedy, and in most instances it will keep the gout upon the extremities, as its tendency is outward from centre to circumference.
Like Lycopodium Lycopodium and Calc Carb Calcarea, when suitably administered in old gouty conditions, not where there is much organic change present, it will keep the rheumatic state in the joints and extremities.
Sulphur, like Silicea Silicea, is a dangerous medicine to give where there is structural disease in organs that are vital, especially in the lungs.
Sulphur will often heal old fistulous pipes and turn old abscesses into a normal state, so that healthy pus will follow, when it is indicated by the symptoms. It will open abscesses that are very slow, doing nothing, it will reduce inflamed glands that are indurated and about to suppurate, when the symptoms agree.
But it is a dangerous medicine to administer in advanced cases of phthisis, and, if given, it should not be prescribed in. the highest potencies. If there are symptoms that are very painful, and you think that Sulphur must be administered, go to the 30 th or 200 th potency.
Do not undertake to stop the night sweats that come in the advanced stages, even if Sulphur seems to be indicated by the symptoms; the fact is, it is not indicated. A remedy that is dangerous in any case ought not to be considered as indicated, even though the symptoms are similar.
The great mischief done by allopaths is due to the fact that they want to cover up everything that is in the economy.
they act as if ashamed of everything in the human race.
whereas Homoeopathy endeavors to reveal everything in the human Ruta Graveolens rue and to antidote those drugs that cover up, and to free those diseases that are held down.
It is true that many patients will not have Homoeopathy because they do not want their syphilitic eruption brought to view they do not want the evidences of their indiscretion brought to light but Homoeopathy endeavors to do that. Conditions that are in the economy will come out under proper homoeopathic treatment. Sulphur brings complaints to the surface, so that they can be seen. It is a general broad antidote
Suppressions It is a medicine often called for in the suppression of eruptions from cold and from drugs, and even from Sulphur It is a great medicine to develop these things which have been covered tip, hence you will see Sulphur in all the lists of remedies useful for suppressed eruptions or for anything suppressed by drugs.
Even when acute eruptions have been suppressed, Sulphur becomes a valuable remedy. In suppressed gonorrhoea Sulphur is often the remedy to start up the discharge and re-establish the conditions that have been caused to disappear. Symptoms that have been suppressed must return or a cure is not possible.
Sulphur has been the remedy from the beginning of its history, from the time of Hahnemann, and on his recommendation, to be thought of when there is a paucity of symptoms to prescribe on, a latent condition of the symptoms due to psora. In this state it has been administered with so much benefit that the routine prescriber has learned the fact.
When apparently (superficially) well-indicated remedies fail to hold a patient, and symptoms cannot be found for a better remedy, it is true that Sulphur takes a deep hold of the economy and remedies act better after it.
Sulphur is well established from experience. You will find at times when you have given a remedy which seems well indicated, that it does not hold the case, and then you give the next best indicated remedy, and then the next, with the same result.
You will begin to wonder why this is, but you will see that, although the case does not call clearly for Sulphur, yet on its administration it so closely conforms to the underlying condition (and psora is so often the underlying condition) that it makes the remedies act better.
Sulphur is an observation that has been confirmed since the time of Hahnemann by all the old men.
Such things are only necessary when there is a paucity of symptoms, where after much study it is necessary to resort to what, seem the best measures, measures, justifiable to a certain extent, based upon observation and upon a knowledge of the conditions underlying the constitution of the whole race.
If known to be sycosis, we would select the head of the class of remedies looking like sycosis. Sulphur stands at the head of the list of remedies looking like the underlying psora.
In the coal regions of Pennsylvania, those who work in the mines and those living in the vicinity of the mines often need Sulphur We know that the coal is not made up of Sulphur.
there is a good deal in it besides.
but those who handle the coal often need Sulphur Persons who are always grinding kaolin and the various products that are used in the manufacture of China china, and the workers among stone, especially require Calc Carb Calcarea and Silicea Silicea, but those who work in the coal mines often need Sulphur.
The patients look like Sulphur patients; they have the aspect, and even when their symptoms are localized and call for other remedies, you will get no good action from these remedies until you give them a dose of Sulphur, after which they go on improving.
Some believe this is due to the fact that there is so much Sulphur in the coal. We may theorize about these things as much as we have a mind to, but we do not want to fall into the habit of antidoting the lower potencies with the high.
Only use that method as a dernier ressort When there are no symptoms to indicate the remedy, then it is time for us to experiment, and then it is justifiable only when it is carried on by a man of the right sort, because such a man keeps within the limit. He knows how to give his remedy. Such a man is guided by the symptoms in each case so far as symptoms speak out.
In inflammatory conditions a purplish appearance of the inflamed parts, a venous engorgement, is seen under Sulphur.
Measles, when they come out with that purplish color, very often require Sulphur
Sulphur is a great remedy in measles.
The routinist can do pretty well in this disease with Pulsatilla Pulsatilla and Sulphur, occasionally requiring Aconite Aconite and Euphrasia Officinalis Euphrasia. Especially will Sulphur modify the case when the skin is dusky and the measles do not come out. This purplish color may be seen anywhere, in the erysipelas, in the sore throat, often on the forearms, legs and face.
The dreadful effects of vaccination are often cured by Sulphur In this it competes with Thuja Thuja and Malandrinum
He has no thought of anybody's wishes or desires but his own. Everything that he contemplates is for the benefit of himself. This selfishness runs through the Sulphur patient. There is absence of gratitude.
Philosophical mania is also a prominent feature. Monomania over the study of strange and abstract things, occult things; things that are beyond knowledge; studying different things without any basis to figure upon; dwelling upon strange and peculiar things.
Sulphur has cured this consecutive tracing one thing to another as to first cause. It has cured a patient who did nothing but meditate as to what caused this and that and the other thing, finally tracing things back to Divine Providence, and then asking
"Who made God?"
She would sit in a corner counting pins and wonder, pondering over the insolvable question of "Who made God?"
One woman could never see any handiwork of man without asking who made it. She could never be contented until she found out the man who made it, and then she wanted to know who his father was; she would sit down and wonder who he was, whether he was an Irishman, and so on.
That is a feature of Sulphur It is that kind of reasoning without any hope of discovery, without any possible answer. It is not that kind of philosophy which has a basis and which can be followed up, reasoning in a series, reasoning on things that are true, but a fanatical kind of philosophy that has no basis, wearing oneself out.
Sulphur has an aversion to follow up things in an orderly fashion, an aversion to real work, an aversion to systematic work. The Sulphur patient is a sort of inventive genius When he gets an idea in his mind he is unable to get rid of it.
He follows it and follows it until finally accidentally be drops into some thing, and many times that is how things are invented. Such is a Sulphur patient. He is often ignorant but imagines himself to be a great man.
he despises education and despises literary men and their accomplishments, and he wonders why it is everyone cannot see that he is above education. Again, this patient takes on religious melancholy, not meditating upon the rational religion, but on foolish ideas about himself. He prays constantly and uninterruptedly, is always in his room, moaning with despair. He thinks he has sinned away his day of grace.
A patient needing Sulphur is often in a state of dullness and confusion of mind, with inability to collect the thoughts and ideas.
lack of concentration. He will sit and meditate on no one thing continuously, making no effort to concentrate his mind upon anything. He wakes up in the morning with dullness of mind and fullness in the head and vertigo. Vertigo in the open air. In the open air comes on coryza with this fullness in the head and dullness, so that there is a confusion of the mind.
In the books there is an expression that has been extensively used.
"Foolish happiness and pride; thinks himself in possession of beautiful things; even rags seem beautiful."
Such a state has been present in lunatics, and in persons who were not lunatics in any other way except on that one idea.
The Sulphur patient has an aversion to business He will sit around and do nothing, and let his wife take in washing and "work her fingernails off" taking care of him; he thinks that is all she is good for.
A state of refinement seems to have gone out of the Sulphur patient. Sulphur is the very opposite of all things fastidious. Arsenicum Album Arsenicum is the typical fastidious patient, and these two remedies are the extremes of each other. Arsenicum Album Arsenicum wants his clothing neat and clean, wants everything hung up well upon the pegs, wants all the pictures hung up properly upon the wall, wants everything neat and nice.
and hence the Arsenicum Album Arsenicum patient has been called "the Aurum Metallicum gold-headed-cane patient," because of his neatness, fastidiousness and cleanliness.
The very opposite of all that is the Sulphur patient.
"Indisposed to everything, work, pleasure, talking or motion; indolence of mind and body."
"Satiety of life; longing for indolence of mind and body.''
"Too lazy to rouse himself up, and too unhappy to live."
"Dread of being washed (in children)."
Yes, they will cry lustily if they have to be washed. The Sulphur patient dreads water and takes cold from bathing.
As to its relationship, Sulphur should not be given immediately before Lycopodium Lycopodium It belongs to a rotating group, Sulphur, Calc Carb Calcarea, Lycopodium Lycopodium.
First Sulphur, then Calc Carb Calcarea and then Lycopodium Lycopodium, and then Sulphur again, as it follows Lycopodium Lycopodium well. Sulphur and Arsenicum Album Arsenicum are also related.
You will very often treat a case with Sulphur for a while and then need to give Arsenicum Album Arsenicum for some time, and then back to Sulphur. Sulphur follows most of the acute remedies well.
The Sulphur patient is troubled is with much dizziness When he goes into the open air or when he stands any length of time, he becomes dizzy. On rising in the morning his head feels stupid, and on getting on his feet he is dizzy.
He feels stupid and tired, and not rested by his sleep, and "things go round." It takes some time to establish an equilibrium. He is slow in gathering himself together after sleep. Here we see the aggravation from sleep and from standing.
The Sulphur patient is subject to periodical sick headaches; congestive headaches, a sensation of great congestion with stupefaction, attended with nausea and vomiting. Sick headache once a week or every two weeks, the characteristic seven-day aggravation.
Most headaches coming on Sunday in working men are cured by Sulphur You can figure this out. Sunday is the only day he does not work, and he sleeps late in the morning and gets up with a headache that involves the whole head, with dullness and congestion. Being busy and active prevents the headache during the week.
Others have periodical headaches every seven to ten days, with nausea and vomiting of bile. Again he may have a headache lasting two or three days.
a congestive headache. Headache with nausea and no vomiting or headache with vomiting of bile. The headache is aggravated by stooping, generally ameliorated in a warm room and by the application of warmth.
aggravated from light, hence the desire to close the eyes and to go into dark room.
aggravated by jarring, and after eating.
The whole head is sensitive and the eyes are red, and there is often lachrymation, with nausea and vomiting. Headaches at times in those who suffer constantly from great heat in the vertex.
the top of the head is hot and burns and he wants cold cloths applied to the top of the head. These headaches associated with heat are often ameliorated by cold, but otherwise the head is ameliorated in a warm room.
The head feels stupid and sometimes he cannot think. Every motion aggravates and he is worse after eating and drinking, worse from taking cold drinks into the stomach and better from hot drinks. When the headaches are present the face is engorged.
bright red face. Headaches in persons who have a red face, a dirty face or sallow, a venous stasis of the face.
the eyes are engorged and the skin is engorged.
the face is puffed and venous in appearance.
Sulphur is useful in persons who get up in the morning with headache, dizziness and red face; in persons who say they know they are going to have the headache some time during the day because the face feels very full and is red in the morning, and the eyes are red.
Before the headache comes on there is a flickering before the eyes, a flickering of color. Scintillations, stars, saw teeth, zig-zags are forewarnings of a headache. Some Sulphur headaches that I have known present a peculiar appearance before the eyes.
a rhomboidal figure, obliquely placed, with saw teeth on the upper side and the body filled with spots.
Sometimes this figure is seen toward one side of the object looked at, sometimes on the other side, but it is seen equally distinct with both eyes at the same time.
These saw teeth are flashes of light, and the base of the figure grows increasingly darker until you get all the colors of the rainbow. Whenever he disorders his stomach he has this peculiar vision. Sometimes it comes in the morning after eating and sometimes at noon after eating. It comes also when be is hungry in the evening and delays his eating. These zig-zags come very often with that hungry all-gone feeling in the stomach.
We have the same state of affairs, similar appearance of zig-zags and flickerings in both Nat Mur Natrum muriaticum and Psorinum Psorinumbefore the headache. They are warning of headaches. These zig-zags, flickerings, sparks, stars and irregular shapes appear before the eye periodically, and may last an hour or so. In the head there is much throbbing. Morning headaches and headaches coming on at noon. Headaches also, as mentioned before that begin after the -evening meal and increase into the night, hindering sleep.
Scalp Upon the external head the itching is indescribable; constant itching, itching when warm in bed.
It is worse from the warmth of the bed and yet it is also worse from cold. itching eruptions; scaly, moist and dry eruptions; vesicles, pimples, pustules and boils; eruptions in general upon the scalp. Much dandruff in the hair, and loss of hair There is slow closing of the fontanelles.
"Humid, offensive eruption on top of the head, filled with pus, drying up into honey like scabs. Tinea capitis."
"Humid offensive eruption with thick pus, yellow crusts, bleeding and burning."
Hair dry, falling off, etc.
It has many symptoms, such as in olden times would be called scrofulous, but which we recognize as psoric. There is a tendency for every "cold" to settle in the eyes. Discharge of mucus and pus from the eyes. Ulceration and thickening of the eyelids, lids rolled outwards or inwards, loss of eyelashes; red and disturbed condition.
Sulphur has extensive eye symptoms. Eye symptoms with eruptions on the face and scalp, with itching of the skin, especially when warm in bed. Catarrhal eye symptoms that are made worse from washing.
When not only the eyes are aggravated by bathing, but the patient himself is aggravated from bathing and he dreads to bathe, and he has itching which is made worse from the warmth of the bed, and is subject to chronic sick headaches and has heat on top of the head, with such concomitants his eyes symptoms, no matter what will be cured by Sulphur. Sulphur has cured, cataract and iritis, inflammatory conditions and opacities, and all sorts of "hallucinations of sight" (coming with headaches)
"Flickering before the eyes" (as described)
"small dark specks; dark points and spots; black flies seem to float not far from the eyes; gas or lamp light seems to be surrounded with a halo," etc.
There are so many of these peculiar images before the eyes, but all have the Sulphur constitution.
"Burning heat in the eyes, painful smarting."
Every "cold" settles in the eyes, i. e,, the eye symptoms, when present, are increased and, when he has no eye symptoms, these are brought on from every "cold."
You have learned in the generals, that the catarrhal state is a very strong feature of Sulphur No mucous membrane of the body escapes, all have catarrhal discharges, copious, sometimes purulent, sometimes bloody. The eyes and ears are no exception.
The catarrhal state goes on in a patient until deafness follows. Thickening of the mucous membrane and of the drum. All sorts of strange noises in the ear until the hearing is lost. After structural changes have taken place and deafness comes on even if there is no cure for the deafness, you may cure the patient.
When a patient wants to know if he can be cured of his deafness you can never tell him. Many of the troubles are in the middle ear, and as you cannot examine it, you do not know how much structural change has taken place. You can only say that if the patient can be sufficiently cured then it can be ascertained. If the structural changes are not very great they will disappear after the patient is cured.
If the internal parts are destroyed, if there is a dry, atrophic catarrh of the middle ear, you can hardly expect to restore that middle ear. It has been destroyed.
the parts that are necessary for sensation no longer register sensation, because they have become atrophied. You can only talk to the patient about the prospects of curing him.
Donot entertain in your mind the idea of curing an organ. Keep that idea out of your mind as much as possible, and, when people want you to locate the disease in organs, keep quiet, because only the patient is sick.
Think as much as possible about the sick patient and as little as possible about the name or the pathological conditions of organs. So, when patients say,
"Doctor, can you cure my hearing?" answer them
"First, you must be cured. The first and most important thing is to cure you."
Cure the patient and then it will be seen afterwards what can be done for the ear, for the hearing. That keeps your mind in proper form, keeps you in right relation to the patient. If you were all the time talking of the ear, the patient would worry your life out about his ear.
"When are you going to do something for ear? When am I going to hear?"
Start out with the understanding that the whole patient is to be treated. Remember the patient first, and let him understand that. The idea of a patient going to a specialist for diseases of the ears should be discouraged unless a homoeopathist is at hand.
It is a disease of the whole body that is to be treated. There is no such trouble as an ear trouble considered apart from the constitutional state of the patient himself. Sulphur has "frequent stoppages of the ears, especially when eating or blowing one's nose."
"Sounds in ears."
Inflarnmation of various kinds. Discharges from the ears in a Sulphur patient.
You see I have avoided saying that Sulphur is a remedy for the ears. Many times you will cure patients of these "local diseases" if you select remedies for the patients, when the local symptoms would never have led you to the remedy.
You would never have thought of Sulphur for the ear alone, or for the prolapsus of the uterus, yet the patient needs Sulphur, and, having given it, you are astonished to see how the organs are turned into order after the constitution of the patient has been made orderly.
Now and then pains that are located here and there in the body are prescribed at by the physician, and failure follows. He hunts a remedy through and through to find some particular kind of pain that resembles the pain which the patient has. You should treat the patient and not bother about trifling pains.
Leave it out if you want to, but get a remedy for the patient. If that pain is in the remedy well and good, but if not do not bother about it. Do not bother about the little symptoms. You may even leave out a most prominent keynote in treating the patient
Sometimes that particular pain is the only symptom the patient wants cured, but if it is an old symptom, it will be the last thing to go away. Under such circumstances the patient will bother your life out wanting to know when that pain is going to be cured, but if you have knowledge of the matter you will not expect to relieve that pain the first time.
if you do relieve it you know that you have made a mistake, for the later symptoms should all go away first.
It is sometimes necessary, in order to hold a patient, to say,
"That symptom must not be cured first, but these little symptoms that you do not care much about will go away first."
You will hold that patient for life simply because you have told the truth, simply because you have exhibited to her that you know Such business is honestly acquired business.
"Smell before the nose as of an old catarrh," and so troublesome is the Sulphur nose, so troublesome is this catarrhal state that with odors he is made sick. He thinks he smells his own catarrh, and thinks others also smell it. The smell of this old catarrh, or of filthy things, keeps him nauseated. He is subject to coryzas.
constant sneezing, stoppage of the nose. Under coryza we read "fluent like water trickling from the nose.".
All the nasal discharges are acrid and burning.
Sulphur is a state in Sulphur Every time he takes "cold," it brings on a coryza. He cannot take a bath, he cannot become overheated, he cannot get into a cold place and cannot overexert himself without getting this "cold in the nose"
Changes of the weather establish a new attack, I have observed in numbers of those old people who are in the habit of taking large quantities of Sulphur in the spring for boils, and as a spring cleanser, that for the rest of the year they suffer from coryza and the various complaints of Sulphur
If you can hunt out some of these old Sulphur takers, you will have a very good picture of Sulphur, interesting for the homeopathic physician to look upon. He is also subject to nose-bleed, dry ulcers and scabs in the nose.
Periodical neuralgias of the most violent character, especially on the right side of the face. Long and tedious right-sided neuralgias. Persistent neuralgias in those that live in a malarial climate, when the short-acting remedies given for the neuralgia, such as Belladonna Belladonna and Nux Vomica Nux vomica, have only for a short time mitigated the suffering. If upon studying the whole case you find he turns out to be a Sulphur patient, Sulphur will permanently cure the neuralgia.
Sulphur cures erysipelatous inflammation of the face. In Sulphur the erysipelas commences on the right side of the face and about the right ear, and there is considerable swelling of the right car, and it spreads slowly, moves with sluggishness and is unusually purple. The whole patient is an offensive, filthy patient.
in spite of washing, his skin looks wrinkled, shriveled and like dried beef.
Sulphur is not so suitable in the cases that come on with rapidity and great violence, with vesicles and enormous blebs, but it suits those cases in which at first there is the appearance of a mottled dusky red spot on the face, and a little distance from it another spot and the another, and these, as it were, all run together, and after a week or so it develops into a sluggish erysipelatous state, and the veins seem to be distended, and he is passing into a state toward unconsciousness.
You will be astonished to see what Sulphur will do in such a case, which comes slowly as if there were a lack of vitality to develop it, a slow, sluggish, erysipelatous inflammation. Whereas, if it be Arsenicum Album Arsenicum, Apis Mel Apis or Rhus Tox Rhus tox, it spreads with rapidity. Arsenicum Album Arsenicum and Apis Mel Apis burn like, fire and Rhus Tox Rhus has blisters upon the erysipelatous patches.
The whole face in Sulphur is covered at times with patches of moist, scaly, itching, eczematous eruptions. Crusta lactea that involves the scalp and the cars, with moisture, thick yellow crusts, piling up, with much itching, which is worse when warm in bed. The child sleeps without covers. If there is itching in parts that are covered, when the parts become warm the itching increases. These eruptions are associated with eye diseases, catarrhal affections of the eyes and nose.
The Sulphur patient has thick incrustations upon the lips, scabby lips, chapped lips, cracks about the lips and corners of the mouth. The saliva oozes out of the mouth making red streaks. Eruptions with itching and burning about the lower part of the face. Herpetic eruptions about the mouth. All of these burn and become excoriated from the fluids of the mouth. Round about the under jaw there is swelling of the glands. Swelling and suppuration of the sub-maxillary glands swelling of the parotids. The glands of the neck are enlarged.
The teeth decay. There is a general unhealthy condition of the mouth and tongue. Foul taste and foul tongue. Ulceration of the mouth and burning in the ulcers. In the aphthae there is burning, stinging. White patches in the mouth.
Sulphur is a very useful remedy in sore mouth of nursing infants, and such as occurs in the mother during lactation. It has also deep-seated phagedenic ulcers that eat around the inner surface of the check. Peculiar little nodules form upon the tongue. and upon the sides of the mouth where the unhealthy teeth press.
The old Sulphur patient suffers from a general catarrhal state, as has been said, and the throat symptoms are of that sort. There is a catarrhal state which goes on even to ulceration. The tonsil is enlarged, and of a purplish aspect lasting for weeks and months, a general sore and painfully sensitive condition of the throat.
but it has also an acute sore throat. It is especially useful in inflammation of the tonsil with suppuration, when the aspect is purplish, venous, and not a bright red inflammation.
The purplish, dusky color is especially a Sulphur color. There is often burning in the throat, stitching, rawness, smarting, inflammation and difficult swallowing. It has cured diphtheria.
I have sufficiently covered appetite, desires and aversions under the generals. The Sulphur patients are commonly dyspeptics, patients who can digest almost nothing. They must live on the simplest forms of food in order to have any comfort at all; cannot digest anything like ordinary diet.
The stomach is sensitive to touch with the all-gone hungry feeling before mealtimes.
The Sulphur patient cannot go long without eating; he becomes. faint and weak. Great heaviness in the stomach after eating but little, after eating meat, or after eating foods that require a healthy stomach to digest.
Then he becomes the victim of pain. He will describe the pains in his stomach as burning pains and great soreness; he has a morbid feeling in the stomach; smarting, and rawness in the stomach. He will describe this sensation as
"Pain in the stomach after eating.
Sensation of weight in the stomach after eating," etc.
The Sulphur stomach is a weak stomach, is slow in digesting. There is acid and bilious vomiting, as a result of the disordered stomach. Sour taste in the mouth from the welling up of acids from the stomach.
The liver is a very troublesome organ.
There is enlargement and induration, with much painfulness, pressure and distress. With congestion of the liver, the stomach also takes on its usual symptoms, or, if present already, they are aggravated. The patient becomes jaundiced, with sensation of engorgement or fullness of the liver, dull aching in the liver.
He is subject to gall stones; tearing pains in the region of the gall duct, coming periodically, attended with much increase of his sallowness.
The Sulphur liver patient is the victim. of chronic sallowness, which increases and decreases. When this patient takes "cold" it settles in the liver.
every "cold," every bath he takes, every change of weather, aggravates his liver symptoms, and when these are worse he has less of other troubles. It localizes itself in attacks of bilious vomiting, in attacks of "bilious headaches," as he calls them.
At times the stool is black as tar, at others it is green and thick, and there are times when the stool is white. These stools alternate and change about with the engorgement of his liver, and then he is subject to gall stones.
He cannot stand because the abdominal viscera hang down so.
they seem to be falling. There is rawness, soreness, distension and burning, with diarrhoea with chronic diarrhoea, and then this goes on to more serious trouble, towards tubercle in the abdomen. The mesenteric glands become in filtrated with tubercle. There is nightly itching with the eruptions upon the abdomen, the itching being worse when warm in bed. Shingles come out about the sides and seem inclined to encircle the body.
He is also a flatulent patient There is much belching, much distension, much rumbling and passing of flatus. He has spells of colic without being flatulent; the wind is confined. Dreadful spells of colic, cutting, tearing pains relieved in no position; burning and smarting in the whole abdomen and soreness of the intestines.
Catarrh of the whole intestinal tract. That which he vomits is acid and smarts the mouth, and that which he passes by the anus is acrid and makes the parts raw. The liquid stool burns while it is passing, and there is much burning when passing moist flatus. He is often called to stool, but while sitting at stool he passes only a little fluid or a little moisture with flatus, and that fluid burns like coals of fire, and the anus becomes raw.
The stool may be thin faeces, yellow, watery, mucous, green, bloody, excoriating. The stool isoffensive, often sickening, of a penetrating odor which permeates the room, and "the smell of the stool follows, him around, as if he had soiled himself."
The diarrhea comes on especially in the morning and it is commonly limited to the forenoon. It drives him out of bed in the morning; as soon as he wakes up and moves in bed, he feels the urging to stool and must make great haste, or he will lose it; it is with difficulty that he can hold it until he reaches the commode.
The morning is the typical time, but a diarrhea that comes on any time after midnight, from midnight till noon, may be a Sulphur diarrhea. Very seldom would you -expect to cure with Sulphur a diarrhea that is in the habit of coming on during the afternoon. Sulphur has some evening aggravations in diarrhea, but these are exceptions.
it is the morning diarrhoea that we look to Sulphur to cure.
Sulphur is a wonderful remedy in cholera and in those cases of diarrhea that occur in cholera times, when the diarrhoea begins in the morning. It is also of great value in dysentery, when the stool is bloody mucus with constant straining. As in Merc Viv Mercurius he must sit long at stool because of a feeling as if he could not finish. Such is the typical Merc Viv Mercurius state a slimy stool with the sensation as if he could not finish.
Sulphur often cures this state after Merc Viv Mercurius fails. It is the natural follower of Merc Viv Mercurius when the latter has been misunderstood and given. In dysentery, when this tenesmus is of the most violent character, when the stool is pure blood, when it is attended also with much urging to urinate.
Mercurius Corrosivus Mercurius corrosivus gives the quickest relief. If the tenesmus is less violent, and there is not much straining to urinate, or it is altogether absent, Mercurius Solubilis Mercurius solubilis isthe more natural remedy. These medicines run very close to Sulphur in dysentery, but are more commonly indicated than Sulphur In Sulphur patients of course Sulphur will be the suitable remedy in dysentery.
He is subject to hemorrhoids, external and internal; great bunches that are sore and raw, burning and tender, and that bleed and smart with the liquid stool.
The urinary symptoms and those of the bladder and male sexual organs, combine to give a very important group in Sulphur
There is a catarrhal state of the bladder, constant urging to urinate and burning and smarting while urinating. The urine scalds the urethra while passing and the smarting is so great that it lasts a long time after urination. It is indicated in broken-down constitutions, in old inventors, in old philosophers who have been leading sedentary lives, who suffer from enlarged prostate. burning in the urethra during and after the flow of urine, and a urethral discharge not unlike gonorrhoea, but really a chronic catarrhal state.
Mucus in the urine, sometimes a pus. In old cases of gleet, in old broken-down patients, when the ordinary gonorrhoea remedies, and the remedies especially fitted to the discharge itself, only palliate; when the patient himself is a Sulphur patient.
Such a patient has had a gonorrhoea and has been treated by remedies adapted to the new appearance, to the discharge itself, but a catarrhal state of the urethra follows, with burning in the urethra, swelling of the meatus, a red, swollen, pouty condition of the meatus, and only a drop collects, just enough to soil the linen, and this keeps up week after week, and sometimes for years.
he will be cured of this discharge by allowing potentized Sulphur to act long enough.
burning, stinging, smarting in the urethra for a long time after micturition.
Itching of the genitals, worse from warmth of the bed.
much sweat about the genitals.
coldness of the genitals. In the male, impotency.
the sexual desire is fairly strong, but he is unable to secure suitable erections.
or there is discharge of semen before intromission, or too soon after intromission. There is an inflammatory condition around the glans and foreskin. Herpetic eruptions under the foreskin, itching and burning. This patient has much annoyance from itching eruptions on the genitals.
The prepuce becomes narrow and cannot be drawn back inflammatory phimosis.
thickening or restriction of the prepuce. Inflammatory phimosis can be cured by remedies, if the phimosis depends upon some, trouble that is in itself curable. Congenital phimosis cannot be cured by remedies. The genitals are extremely offensive both to the patient and to the examining physician. The patient is likely to be very uncleanly.
he does not bathe himself, and the genitals accumulate their natural filth. Discharge of prostatic fluid when at stool.
Under female sexual, organs we have sterility. We have irregularity in the menstrual flow, menstrual flow suppressed from the slightest disturbance. Haemorrhage in connection with the menstrual flow; uterine haemorrhage; prolonged uterine haemorrhage.
In an abortion you may have selected Belladonna Belladonna, which war, suitable while the woman was aborting, and it may have overcome the present state.
or you may have selected Apis Mel Apis or Sabina Sabina, which was suitable for the early state, and it either postpones or checks the haemorrhage for the time or hurries the expulsion of the foetus.
but the haemorrhage starts in again and with its return we have prolonged tribulation. In many of these cases we can do nothing until we put the patient on Sulphur.
If the symptoms are masked, Sulphur stands very high. When Belladonna Belladonna has been given you will often have to follow it with Sulphur. Sabina Sabina, which has the most violent gushing haemorrhage in abortions, very commonly needs to be followed by Sulphur In such hemorrhagic affections, however i.e, in a prolonged recurring haemorrhage, a chronic condition, not in the first or most exciting time, not in the time of the earliest gushing, there are two very frequently indicated remedies, M. Sulphur and Psorinum Psorinum.
The flow keeps coming back in spite of ordinary remedies, and in spite of remedies selected upon the group of symptoms related to the pelvis. In many instances we go to a haemorrhage and the pelvic symptoms are prominent and all other symptoms clouded.
there is a gushing flow, the blood is hot, etc., and there are only a few symptoms.
but the next time you see the woman she is quiet enough to give other symptoms, and in the course of a few days more symptoms come out, as the hemorrhagic state is an outcome of the chronic condition.
Sulphur is unlike measles. You do not have to look into the chronic state until the measles or scarlet fever or small-pox is finished.
these are acute miasms. But the haemorrhage is a part of her constitutional state.
it is not a miasm. and hence when it is violent, calling for a remedy, probably the best adapted will he the short acting remedies, such as Belladonna Belladonna or even Aconite Aconite.
but then look into the constitutional state for it is likely some remedy will have to follow the Aconite Aconite or the Belladonna Belladonna, and commonly it is Sulphur.
the acute remedy being suitable to the violent action and then followed by its complementary medicine.
Women needing Sulphur are full of hot flashes, such as they are likely to have at the climateric period, and here it competes with Lachesis Lachesis and Sepia Sepia. Sulphur and Sepia Sepia are suitable in the most violent cases of dysmenorrhoea in girls and even in those of advanced age.
Most violent cases that have existed a long time, since the beginning of menstruation, in women who always needed Sulphur If you select a remedy merely on the kind of pain, on the sensitiveness of the uterus, on the appearance of the flow, i.e., on the pelvic symptoms, you will make a failure. You must treat the patient, even if the pelvic symptoms do not fall under the generals.
when the generals agree Sulphur will cure dysmenorrhoea even though you cannot fit it to the pelvic symptoms. The generals always precede and rule in every case.
Sulphur has violent burning in the vagina. Troublesome itching of the vulva. Great offensiveness from the genitals. Perspiration copious and foetid coming from about the genitals, down the inside of the thighs and up over the abdomen.
She is so offensive that the odors nauseate her, and this general state is true, it is not the imagination. Remember the over-sensitiveness to odors. Leucorrhoea copious, offensive, burning, sticky; it may be whitish or yellow; it is offensive, acrid, and causes itching about the part and excoriation.
There is much nausea during gestation, or only during the early period of gestation. In those women needing Sulphur, it will stop the nausea, and they will go into labor easily, with few protracted pains.
they will go through their labor with only the contractions, and these comparatively painless. The only pains in such cases will be those from the pressure of the child's head. Labor is painful we know, but it is comparatively easy when the woman is upon a suitable remedy. Sulphur is indicated then in women who have suffered from the most dreadful agony in confinement.
prolonged labor. Troublesome after-pains. Suitable also in swelling of the mammary glands.
Then we have septicemic conditions, with purulent lochia or suppression of the lochia. You may go to a case in which, on the third day, there has been a chill, the lochia has been suppressed, the woman has a high temperature and is covered from head to foot with sweat. As you put your hand under the covers you feel steam come up from the body so that you want to take your hand away, it is so hot. She is dazed and is sensitive over the whole abdomen.
You know now the meaning of the suppression of the lochia.
you have a puerperal fever on hand. Study closely for Sulphur instead of hunting around among Aconite Aconite, Bryonia Bryonia, Belladonna Belladonna, Opium, etc. With these you will make a total failure in most instances, but Sulphur fits into just such a state and has cured many cases of puerperal fever.
If it is but a milk fever or mammary indisposition and the chill is only acute, then your short-acting remedies will do very well and even Aconite Aconite has been useful, but when it is a case of septicemia, Sulphur goes to the very root of it. When the feet burp, when there is a hungry feeling in the stomach, the night aggravation with sinking and exhaustion, and when throughout the body there is a sensation of steam rising or hot flashes, one after another, you must give Sulphur
Now, on the other hand, if in such a case, with the hot sweat and other general features, you have one rigor following another in rapid succession and no end to them, you cannot get out of that case without Lycopodium Lycopodium, which goes as deeply into the case as Sulphur When there is a continuous intermingling of little chillinesses and little quiverings throughout the body and the pulse has lost its proper relationship to the temperature, Pyrogenium Pyrogen must be administered. If there is a purplish appearance of the body, cold sweat all over, if there are remittent or intermit-tent chills, with thirst during -the chill, and at no other time, and the face is red during the chill, you must give Ferrum Met Ferrum, as no other remedy looks just like that.
When one side of the body is hot and the other side is cold and you find the woman in a tearful state, trembling with fear, nervous excitement and restlessness, give Pulsatilla Pulsatilla, which also has a septic state and is sufficient to overcome the septic condition.
Sulphur is suitable in surgical fever when it takes this form of flashes of heat and steaming sweat. In these deep-seated septic states, somewhere from beginning to end, Sulphur will most likely be wanted. You may see in the earlier stages of that septic state a number of Bryonia Bryonia symptoms, but Bryonia Bryonia cannot take hold of that case. Remember that in a septic state you want to get ahead of it in the first twenty-four hours.
you do not want to let it run on, and if Bryonia Bryonia has only mitigated it in its beginning then it is too late for Sulphur.
Go to Sulphur at once. Now, another thing, even if you have made a mistake in giving Sulphur and you find it does not take hold of the case, it always simplifies it, does good and never spoils it. It gives you a good basis to begin on. It goes to the bottom and simplifies the matter, and, if you have mental and nervous symptoms left still you have overcome that violent septic state which must be met at once, and the remaining symptoms in many instances are simple. Sulphur is a general remedy to begin with in those cases where the symptoms are not perfectly clear for another.
Every time he gets "cold" it settles in the chest or in the nose. In both these instances the catarrhal state hangs on and holds a long time; it seems never to be finished, always remains as a catarrhal state.
The nose, the inner chest and lungs furnish us localities for much trouble. The patient has had pneumonia and it has gone on to the period of infiltration.
you have taken the case in this advanced stage after Bryonia Bryonia has overcome the threatening features, and now when the patient should rally he does not rally.
he perspires all over, is tired and has a strange and singular consciousness that "there is something wrong in there.
a load in there;" "difficult breathing.
flashes of heat and yet not much fever.
sometimes coldness alternating with flashes of heat. I have often heard them say, ";.
There is a great load in there, doctor. I cannot get rid of it."
Upon close examination you find there is hepatization and now comes the time for such remedies as Phosphorus Phosphorus, Lycopodium Lycopodium and Sulphur, and Sulphur leads them all.
When Bryonia Bryonia has been sufficient for the earlier symptoms, or when Aconite Aconite has cleared them up, there has been too much for these remedies to relieve, then hepatization comes on. If this is confined to only a small area it will keep up quite a chronic course, but Sulphur will clear it up. If, however, it is a double pneumonia, or the hepatization involves a considerable portion of the lung, and the remedy given has not been sufficient, and the case is advancing towards a fatal issue, it may be that all at once at one, two or three o'clock in the morning, he begins to sink, his nose becomes pinched, his lips are drawn, he takes on a hippocratic countenance, is covered with cold sweat, be is too feeble in every part of his body to move.
he only moves his head a little in a restless manner.
Unless you are called at once and give him a dose of Arsenicum Album Arsenicum he will die. You give the Arsenicum Album Arsenicum, and you have done well, but Arsenicum Album Arsenicum has no ability to remove the results of inflammation. But though it cannot cure that hepatized lung it acts as a vital stimulant.
it warms up the patient and makes him feel he is going to get better.
but, mark this, in twenty four hours he will die unless you follow the Arsenicum Album Arsenicum with the proper remedy.
You must not wait on your remedy too long in these cases. Just as soon as he rallies and the reaction is at its highest pitch, give him the antidote and natural follower of Arsenicum Album Arsenicum, which is Sulphur, and in twenty-four hours the patient will say,
"I am getting better."
As sure as you exist today, it will do just that thing. There are times when you will see clearly that Phosphorus Phosphorus isthe medicine to follow Arsenicum Album Arsenicum with. If such a patient, rallying under Arsenicum Album Arsenicum, goes into a fever, if a hot fever comes on with burning thirst and he cannot get enough ice-cold water, you must follow it with Phosphorus Phosphorus, and it will do in that case what Sulphur will do in the other.
You will not see these cases in your own practice because you will not let your cases get into that state; if such cases have power enough to live when prescribed for properly in that state, they have power enough to let you break up the whole nature of the case in the beginning
But go back to that patient who had only a circumscribed hepatization and felt well enough to get up and go around. He has a lingering cough, and now six months or a year after the attack he says.
"Doctor, I have never been right since I had an attack of chest trouble.
The doctor called it pneumonia."
He can tell you about the rusty sputum and the other little things that belong to pneumonia; that is all you need to know. He has had a chronic cough ever since that attack and now he has chilliness.
There is fibrinous infiltration, not a tuberculous state, but the remains of hepatization that nature could not cure. If that is allowed to go on be will go into catarrhal phthisis, asthmatic conditions of chronic bronchitis and troubles of various sorts, and finally he will die from these. Sulphur will very often conform to all of his symptoms.
it especially has the ability to clear up the lungs that were not properly cleared up at the time of his illness.
Sulphur cures bronchitis. It cures asthmatic bronchitis when the symptoms agree. Sulphur has a most violent cough that racks the whole frame.
it seems that the head will fly off.
pain in the head when coughing.
the head is jarred by the cough. Then he has expectoration of blood, bleeding from the lungs.
in all of these cases threatening phthisis, when there is yet not too much deposit of tubercle, when there is only the beginning of tubercular deposit.
The low, stricken down constitution, the emaciated subjects that have inherited phthisis who have the all-gone hungry feeling in the stomach, heat on the top of the head and uneasiness from the warmth of the bed.
These cases would be better if they had plenty of eruptions come out upon the body; but as a matter of fact the skin has no eruptions; there is no relief; it is all going on in his internals and he is gradually breaking down.
Sulphur will in such instances rouse that patient out of his phthisical state and he will return to health, or, if be is too bad for that be may be kept for years from his troubles. Look out for it in the advanced state of phthisis. You have had sufficient said concerning its administration in such a condition. It increases the suppuration, and brings on little pneumonias wherever there is a tubercle.
it tends to suppurate these out. Every cell that is incapable of carrying on its function will be sloughed out by Sulphur.
The extremities are covered with eruptions. Eruptions upon the back of the bands and between the fingers, and sometimes upon the palms; vesicular and scaly eruptions which itch; pustules, boils and little abscesses irregular erysipelatous patches here and there upon the extremities a dirty appearance of the skin.
Enlargement of the joints. Rheumatic affections.
great stiffness of the joints.
tightness in the hollow of the knees.
tightness of the tendons, of rheumatic and gouty character. Cramps in the legs and soles of the feet. Burning of the soles of the feet in bed.
he puts them out of bed to cool them of the soles cramp and burn and itch.
At times you will find the soles are cold, and then again burning, and these states alternate with each other. Distress of the body with coldness of the limbs, but after going to bed they burn so much that he must put them out. The corns, which he is a victim of and suffers from almost constantly, burn and sting in the warmth of the bed.
The skin of a Sulphur patient ulcerates and suppurates easily; asplinter under the skin will cause it to ulcerate; wounds heal slowly and fester. Every little prick of a pin festers as in Hep Sulph Calc Hepar
The eruptions of Sulphur are too numerous to mention. They are of all sorts, but there are a few characterizing features in all, such as the burning, stinging and itching and the aggravation from the warmth of the bed.
The skin is rough and unhealthy. Upon the face are many "black-heads," acne, pimples and pustules. Sulphur is full of boils and abscesses in all parts of the body, squamous eruptions, vesicular eruptions, etc.
They are all present in Sulphur and they burn and sting.
Hahnemann's king of anti-psorics; combating all psoric manifestations, as described in Hahnemann's chronic diseases.
Itching eruptions on the skin everywhere; scratching is followed by burning.
Burning everywhere, general and local, especially feet; has to stick them out of bed to cool them.
Redness of all orifices, as if pressed full of blood (lips, ears, nostrils, eyelids, anus, urethra, etc.).
Exudations into serous sacs following acute inflammations.
Weak, faint, after hot flashes, followed by sweat, especially at 11 A. M.
Modalities worse 5 A. M. (diarrhoea), standing; 11 A. M., close room, open air, bathing, cold damp weather; better doors and windows open, sitting or lying.
Now upon this symptom -"When carefully selected remedies fail to act favorably, etc.," as we said when writing of a certain group under Nux Vomica Nux vomica -this is putting it in too wholesale a fashion. Let no one understand that Sulphur is the only remedy capable of removing psoric complications, but simply that Sulphur will be likely to be oftener indicated here, because it oftener covers the usual manifestations of psora in its pathogenesis than any other remedy. There are anti-psorics, like Psorinum Psorinum, Causticum Causticum, Graphites Graphites, etc., which may have to be used instead of Sulphur. And we know which one by the same law which guides us in the selection of the right remedy any time. Another thing must not be forgotten. All the anti-psoric remedies have their own individual sphere of action outside their anti-psoric powers; and often a close study of the case in hand, where other remedies have failed, as we had supposed, on account of psora, will reveal that the anti-psoric remedy was the true simillimum from the start, independent of any psoric element.
To undertake to go over the whole range of action of Sulphur would be simply to give its whole symptomatology. That is not the object of these notes, but we can notice only the red line indications which lead the careful prescriber to its further study in the Materia Medica.
One of the chief characteristics of Sulphur is found under the head or rubric of sensation, viz., that of Burning. Burning on vertex (outer and inner head); burning in eyes, painful smarting.
After reading such a list of burning in the cured and characteristic symptoms of Sulphur one does not wonder that hell is represented as being heated by this substance, for it seems by its pathogenesis as though it were eternally burning. Arsenicum Album Arsenicum album, Phosphorus Phosphorus and Sulphur lead the list in our Materia Medica for burners. These burning sensations are found in both acute and chronic diseases. Of course there are several other remedies that have this symptom in an intense degrees and must be chosen if the other symptoms come in to complete the picture of similarity. Among these of first importance may be named Aconite Aconite, Agaricus Muscarius Agaricus, Apis Mel Apis, Belladonna Belladonna, Cantharis Cantharis, Capsicum Annuum Capsicum, Carbo Animalis Carbo animalis and Acid Phos Phosphoric acid. I think Arsenicum Album Arsenicum leads in all acute diseases, while Sulphur leads in chronic affections We, as homoeopathists, do not yet fully appreciate the value of sensations.
The action of Sulphur upon the circulation is to cause and cure local congestions and a chronic tendency thereto. In other words, it seems to have the power of equalizing the circulation in persons subject to such local congestions and inflammations. These, either acute or chronic congestions, may manifest themselves in boils, swellings, felons, abdominal or portal congestions and inflammations, and here it is especially indicated if caused by suppressed haemorrhoids; congestions to the head may result from the same cause.
feels so oppressed that he wants doors and windows open. This rush of blood seems to fill the whole chest, the heart feels as if "too full," palpitates and labours, as if trying to rid itself of a burden. .
The orifices of the body are red, as if pressed full of blood. The lips are red as vermilion, ears very red.. All these are manifest indications for Sulphur. Especially is the true if these symptoms follow, or are consequent upon, the suppression or retrocession of some eruption or skin trouble. If inward affections work outward towards the surface there is not usually cause for alarm, but it they go the other way look out for breakers, there is shipwreck ahead. No one need tell me that there is no relation of skin to internal troubles. I have seen too much of it, and have cured many cases of that character, where a restoration of the skin disease relieved the internal which had followed its retrocession or suppression.
There is one thing about Sulphur that it often under-estimated by the profession in general, viz., its power of absorption. It is after the stage of effusion has set in or even later when this stage is passed and the results of the inflammatory process are to be gotten rid of; like the enlargement of the joints in rheumatism, exudations into serous sacs, pleura, meningeal membranes, peritoneum, etc. Bryonia Bryonia is one of the remedies first thought of in these cases, and we have another remedy that is making a record for itself here, viz., Kali Muriaticum Kali muriaticum.
No remedy has more general, positive and persistent action upon the skin than Sulphur. With or without eruption, itching and burning, are the characteristic sensations attending the skin symptoms. If any one doubts the itch-producing power of Sulphur let him work a day or two in the bleaching room of a broom factory. I have tried the experiment, and we all remember the fact that our mothers and grandmothers used to cure or rather over-cure itch with it.
So strong is this affinity of Sulphur far the skin that it seems bent on pushing everything internal out on the surface. Especially is this true if it is something that naturally belongs there. Over twenty-five years ago I had a case that illustrates this. A lady (maiden) had been an invalid for fourteen years. Her trouble seemed to center in her stomach. So that for all that long period of time she could eat nothing but at little Graham bread and milk, hardly enough to sustain life and in the earlier part of her sickness for a long time was able only to take a teaspoonfull of milk at a time. She was an almost literal walking skeleton. I found, after much questioning and several failures to relieve her much, that about fifteen years before she had with an ointment suppressed an eczema of the nape and occiput. She boasted that she had never seen a vestige of it since. I gave that lady Sulphur 200th and in three weeks from that time had that eruption fully restored and her stomach trouble completely relieved. The deacon of her (Presbyterian) church exclaimed as she came walking up a long hill to service, "Here comes Susan F., who has been dying for the last fourteen years and lo and behold, she is the biggest, fattest one among us!" Now how about the relation of skin to internal trouble? I can report a number of as convincing cases in my own practice cured with Sulphur, Arsenicum Album Arsenicum, Causticum Causticum or other remedies. One thing must be recognized and never lost sight of, viz., that symptoms weigh whether we can give the pathological interpretation of them or not. Here are a few of that kind from the pathogenesis of Sulphur
"Particularly efficacious with lean, stoop-shouldered persons, who walk or sit stooped; standing is the most uncomfortable position."
"Dirty, filthy people, prone to skin affections."
"Children cannot bear to be washed or bathed."
"Voluptuous itching; scratching relieves; after it burning."
"Complaints continually relapsing."
"Congestion to single parts."
"Pain in heart, extending to back."
"Scrofulous (psoric) chronic diseases that result from suppressed eruptions."
"Discharges from every outlet acrid, excoriating and reddening."
"Offensive odor of body despite frequent bathing."
"Hot flushes with spells of faintness, or debility passing off with a little moisture, faintness or debility."
"Weak, faint spells frequently during the day."
"Burning in feet, wants to find a cool place for them; puts them out of bed to cool them off." (Chamomilla Chamomilla, Medorrhinum Medorrhinum, Sanicula.)
"Feels suffocated; wants doors and windows open, particularly at night."
"Diarrhoea after midnight; Painlessly driving out of bed early in the morning, as if the bowels were too weak to retain their contents."
"Weak, empty, gone or faint feeling in stomach about 11 A. M."
"White tongue with very red tip and borders."
"Bright redness of lips as if the blood would burst through." (Tuberculinum Tuberculinum).
"Heat on crown of head; cold feet; frequent flushing."
Every true homoeopath knows the value of these and many more symptoms of Sulphur. No one else appreciates them. Again, none but those who use the potentized Sulphur can ever know what it is capable of curing.
Dose
Sulphur acts in all potencies from the lowest to the highest. Some of the best results are obtained from the higher, and not too frequent doses. The twelfth potency is a good one to begin treatment with, going higher or lower according to the susceptibility of the susceptibility of the patient. In chronic diseases, 200th and upward. In torpid eruptions the lowest potencies.

Characteristics
Sul., when indicated, will cause absorption of effusions, pleuritis (plastic, or hydrothorax), hydrocephalic, or synovial. I have frequently cured ganglion of the wrist with Sul. cm and lower, given on general indications. In the rheumatism of Sul. the affection begins below and spreads upwards. (This is analogous to the "from without inwards" direction of the psoric complaints which Sul. meets and reverses.) Sul. acts on the right eye and on all regions of the head
