SULPHUR

(From vol. iv, 2^nd edit., 1825.)

(Flowers of sulphur, Flores sulphuris, sublimed in fine acicular form into the receiver of a retort, washed by being shaken up with alcohol, in order to remove any acid that may be adhering to them.)

Though sulphur has been employed for many centuries, by medical and non-medical persons, in the itch of workers in wool, yet none of them ever observed that the benificial effects they saw from its use in the eruption of itch was effected by sulphur by similarity of action and homoeopathy.

In the note to symptom 673 I have pointed out the exact distinctive signs of the phenomena of itch.

Physicians cured, also, some haemorrhoidal affections with sulphur clumsily administered, without suspecting that they had (unconsciously) effected homoeopathic cures; whilst they aggravated other affections of the rectum and anus with it, because the symptoms by means of which sulphur (see 347, 348, 350 to 353, 366, 488 to 492) and hepar sulphuris (see 112, 113 – 129, 130, 181, 183, 184, 185, 187) can cure only similar natural diseases homoepathically, were unknown to them; and also because they administered too large doses 0 5, 10, 20, 30 grains at a time whereas they should have given hardly 1/10000^th part of a grain.

Even though the idea had not occurred to SCHMITJAN to prescribe sulphur in an autumnal dysentery, yet the symptoms of sulphur and hepar sulphuris would suggest to every true physician to employ them in order to combat the troublesome tenesmus occurring especially at night in such cases, for these substances themselves produce a similar affection. For this object a dose of less than 1/10000^th of a grain is required (one grain of flowers of sulphur triturated for one hour with 100 grains of milk sugar, and one grain of this mixture again triturated for an hour with 100 grains of milk sugar).

The homoeopathic physician (who alone acts in conformity with natural laws) will meet with many important morbid states for which he will discover and mat expect much assistance in the symptoms of sulphur and hepar sulphuris.

Sulphur seems to act in the smallest doses for from 16 to 20 days and finds its antidote in camphor.

In these symptoms – comp. 588, and 199, 234 in the chema of Hepar sulphuris – is manifested the characteristic itching eruption which sulphur can excite, in which is revealed an affection similar (homoeopathic) to, but not identical with, the itch. And homoeopathy requires medicines that produce diseases only similar to those they should be administered for in order to cure them, For as it employs medicines for curative purposes and not the exciting causes of the diseases consequently is not so foolish as to employ chancre virus for the cure of venereal diseases, to the itch miasm in the treatment if the itch disease , so it can certainly never occur homoeopathy to expect anything else from its medicines, save the power of producing only a similar morbid affection. And yet the stupid spirit of contradiction will try to delude the laity and prejudice then against homoeopathy, and since it has no honest objection to adduce it makes use if a dishonest one, in fact, a falsehood. But homoeopathy has never pretended to produce an identical disease with medicines, but has always enjoined the selection of a medicine for the cure that produces only a similar affection. And yet this mendacious reproach is reiterated- whether from stupidity and ognorance of the doctrine or from malice I shall leave others to judge. CANOVA’s statue of the captive of St. Helena may be very like, but it is not NAPOLFON! Do not our stupid opponents understand that? Are they unable to comorehend the difference between identical (same) and similar? Or do they not wish to comprehend it? Sulphur produces pimples and vesicles very similar in appearance to the itch of workers in wool, and these are chiefly seen on the joints and at night, but the attendant sensations exhibit greater differences, for itch is accompanied by a kind of intolerable agreeable creeping itching gnawing, as from lice, which is indicated by the expression intolerable voluptuous tickling itching, which when the finger is applied for the purpose of scratching, ceases to itch and commences to burn, and after scratching continues to burn on the spot.)
