Verse
Sulphur, - Thou the royal leader
Of the anti-psora kin.
Itching, burning after scratching,
All eruptions of the skin.
Flashing heat, with sweat and faintness,
Faintness pending dinner calls,
Weariness in the act of standing,
Burning vertex, palms and soles.
What a dread thou hast of bathing,
Dread of heat in bed how great;
Better thou when slowly moving,
Though thou walk a stooping gait.
In thy sleep - how great thy terrors,
Screaming, jumping from thy bed;
All the day how sad thy feelings,
How thy things of memory fade.
To thy head the blood congesting,
Causes heat and weight on top;
Hammering pains and giddy whirlings,
That all locomotion stop;
Sore thy eyes - agglutinated,
Weak and sensitive to light,
Burning, itching, smarting, stitching;
Balls in ulcerated plight.
In thy ears a painful stitching,
Roaring, ringing - hearing dull.
Whilst thy nose, sore red and swollen,
Is of foul secretions full.
Flushed thy face, with heat and burning,
"Black-heads" clogging every pore;
Upper lip and jaw-glands swollen,
And the chin with herpes sore.
Parched thy mouth, or full of water,
Viewed within shows blisters there;
"Bad" thy taste in early morning,
Ache thy teeth in open air.
In thy throat a scraping, hawking,
Feeling like a rising ball;
In the stomach, craving hunger,
Or no appetite at all.
Burning is a gastric symptom,
Nausea just preceding meals;
Thirst for beer, among thy longings,
Milk distressing trouble deals.
In thy abdomen a soreness,
Stitching, griping, rumbling sound;
Colic with a bending double,
Tensive fullness all around.
Dry thy stools, with piles protruding,
Burning anus after stool,
Or a morning diarrhoea
Urging, may assert the rule.
Calls to urinate are urgent,
In the night specially so,
With an itching in the channel,
Or a burning with the flow.
In the night thou hast emissions,
Passed in dreaming - uncontrolled,
And thou has a sweating scrotum,
Itching glans, and penis cold.
Whilst thy wife, hath "show" abnormal,
Too profuse, or short, or late;
Burning itching leucorrhoea,
Mammae in flaming state.
Respiration short, when walking,
Rough, hoarse voice, or aphony;
Weakness in the chest when talking,
Sprain-like pain, therein may be.
In the night asthmatic smothering,
Or in the sleep disturbing "hack";
Cough in the rawness in the bronchi,
Cough with stitches in the back.
Heart in state of palpitation,
Mostly in the night in bed;
In the back a chilly crawling,
Stitching pain, or bruise instead.
Sweating from the least exertion,
Sweat profuse in sleep at night;
Morning sweat, soon after waking,
Ague - in a sinking plight.
Weakness, and emaciation,
Bruise-like pains or stitch, or cramp,
Stiffness of the knees and ankles:-
These the signet of thy stamp.
