SULPHUR.
SKIN.
►
In the morning, the skin of the whole body smelt strongly of Sulphur, in
consequence of which he left off the medicine for some days, thinking
that it had taken the direction of a cutaneous secretion, and that
consequently the symptoms of the other organs had receded (fifty-eighth
day), [43a]. ►
The skin of the whole body smells strongly of Sulphur (sixty-first,
sixty-eighth, seventieth, and seventy-ninth days), [43a]. ► The
skin, especially of the hands, smells of Sulphur (thirty-ninth day), [43a]. ►
The palmar aspects of the hands smell strongly of Sulphur (forty-second
day), [43a]. ►
The amount of carbonic acid excreted from the skin was very greatly
increased during the proving of Sulphur, [46].
► *Skin cracked here and there,
especially in the open air, [1].
► *Skin of the hands cracked, [1]. [3380.]
► *Cracks and cuts in the skin of the
hands, especially on the joints, painfully sore, [1]. ►
*Cracking of the skin of the hands, almost painless, especially just
above the roots of the fingers, [2]. ► *In the
evening, dryness and heat of the skin (fifth day), [20]. ►
Little or no fever, but skin and mouth dry, [76]. ►►
*Skin of the hands hard and dry, [1]. ► Between
the scapulæ, skin dry and scurfy; no inconvenience in the day-time, but
when undressing, at night, it itches very much; it lasted more than a
month, [71]. ►
Late in the evening, roughness, redness, and itching of the skin on the
dorsum of the right hand; some red, very itching pimples on the skin of
the right thumb and in its dorsal aspect towards the metacarpus;
roughness of the skin between the right thumb and forefinger, worse in
the heat of bed (seventeenth day); he discontinued the medicine for some
days, and during this time the exanthemated phenomena on the right hand
continued, and were regularly aggravated by the heat of the bed; the
pimples gradually assumed the form of small pustules, [29]. ► On the
right index, where he had a humid eruption many years ago, there
appeared some hard points, so that the skin has a rough appearance (one
hundred and thirtieth day), [43b].
► The desquamation of the skin of the
face, which had commenced days previously, continues, as also the
itching all over the body (thirty-second day), [18a]. ►
Desquamation of the fingers (the epidermis scales off in round spots), [1]. ►
Eruptions, Dry. [3390.] ►► *Eruption, with burning itching,
[1]. ►
Eruption on the skin, [7]. [From
local application. -Hughes.] ► *Painful
eruption about the chin, [1].
► In the morning, on changing his
linen, he observed that his skin desquamated more, or at least more
easily than usual, so that a mere gentle stroking with the flat hand
sufficed to separate large quantities of small loose scales from the
morbid skin; he observed the same thing in the scalp, whence clouds of
small scales could be brushed; no change was observable on the eruption
(eighth day). The scales fell from the head and morbidly affected skin
in smaller quantity than on the previous day, but they were still more
plentiful than usual (ninth day). The scales on the head in great
numbers; whilst taking a warm bath, he noticed the surface of the water
speedily covered with fine scales; on former occasions, when taking a
bath, the scales were much fever in number, were in larger flakes, and
only appeared after using soap; the patches of eruption appeared less
red after the bath than usual (thirteenth day). The scales on the head
were less numerous this morning when he brushed his hair, but they
became much more abundant during the day, and were in the form of a fine
dust; on the patches of eruption on the body, no loosening of cuticle
was perceptible, as was formerly the case during the first few days
after taking a bath (fifteenth day). After awaking at a quarter to 5
A.M., and drying the body, he noticed that the patches of eruption were
paler, not so dry, and not so wrinkled as usual; the scales, too, which
were partly detached, were in smaller quantities (twenty-first day).
Scales on head diminished very much (twenty-second day). Of the smaller
scattered eruptive spots, several, especially those on the left arm,
were completely gone, and on the larger patches, here and there, little
islands of healthy skin; the other eruptive spots were still colored
like liver-marks, wrinkled, slightly elevated, but they scaled less, and
felt less rough (twenty-fifth day). The eruption continued to make
slight but perceptible progress to amendment, by the increase of the
number and size of the healthy islands on the morbid skin (after
twenty-six days). The disappearance of the eruption took place not by a
gradual and uniform return of the morbid skin to the normal state, but
by the increase and extension of many healthy points (hair-follicles)
among the still morbid patches, whereby the latter were separated into
still smaller groups, and were at last limited to a few spots, the size
of hemp-seed or lentils, corresponding to single hair-follicles, which,
by the end of September, were quite gone from the arms and chest; there
still remained some groups on the belly and back, and in the months of
August and September, some new eruption spots appeared on the legs,
which had hitherto remained free, excepting a small spot on the right
calf; subsequently, these new spots disappeared unobserved, [35b]. ►
The skin was reddened on several places and itched (fortieth day), [29]. ►
*The day after smoking the Sulphur, he had intolerable
itching over the whole body; this was followed, in a day or two, by the
appearance of reddish blotches over the trunk and extremities,
[51]. ►
*In the evening, itching on various parts, in the face, chest, and
hands; after scratching, a slight redness appears
(fifty-fifth day), [43b]. ► Right cheek covered with a number of
small red painless spots (fourteenth day); red spots on right cheek are
gone (fifteenth day), [21]. ► On the upper lip, a red elevated itching
spot (fourth day), [43b]. ► A red spot on the upper lip, which went
off in half an hour (one hundred and twenty-first day), [43a]. [3400.]
► Red itching point in the middle of
the upper lip, [3]. ► On the left lower jaw, towards the cheek,
an itching spot on the skin, which becomes red on being rubbed, and
exhibits slight elevations (one hundred and forty-second day), [43b]. ►
In the morning, there appeared on the left cheek, near the ala nasi, a
small red spot, which attained the size of a lentil (forty-second day).
On awaking, in the morning, he remembered that, in a half-sleeping
state, he had scratched away at his left cheek, owing to the itching
there; about twenty elevations, the size of millet-seeds, were to be
seen there; they itched slightly when touched, and became more visible
after dinner, when the cheek was somewhat redder and hotter (forty-third
day). The eruption on the left cheek has increased in extent, especially
near the ala nasi; traces of a similar eruption were also visible on the
right cheek; after dinner, and in the evening after taking a little
wine, the eruption became remarkably increased (forty-fourth day). In
the night, again scratched himself violently; on looking at the
eruption, in the morning, with a lens, he found, on the spots first
formed, the epidermis coming off in small scales; he removed one of them
on the point of a penknife, and found it was of a circular form,
scarcely above a line in diameter, thickened towards the edge, and in
the centre thin and transparent; the skin beneath the detached scale was
elevated, red, and sensitive; after dinner, the aggravation of the
eruption as of the previous day (forty-fifth day). Desquamation appeared
on several of the spots; on the right cheek eruption is extending
(forty-sixth day). The following days the eruption remained the same,
but new scales constantly appeared on those spots that had already
desquamated; in spite of the discontinuance of Sulphur, the
efflorescence lasted in greater or less intensity throughout the next
two months, and was always remarkably aggravated after taking even very
small quantities of alcoholic liquors; it subsequently went away without
anything being done for it, [32]. ► Red burning spots in the upper and
forearms (after washing with soap and water), [1]. ► There
appeared on the right palm some not elevated, red, burning spots, the
size of a shilling, which went off after a few hours (twenty-ninth day);
red marks came again, and remained visible until evening (soon,
thirtieth day); the red marks in the palm often appeared, but only
remained for a short time (from thirty-second to forty-fifth day), [23]. ►

hand (dorsum of hand, over the first joint of the middle finger, on the
outer border of the little finger, and on the palmar aspect of the
wrist); after scratching, red spots arise, on which several papulæ
close together appear (these papulæ lasted several days and itched
periodically), (first day), [23d].
► *Thick red chilblains on the fingers,
which itch very severely when warm, [1]. ►
Formation of an erythematous patch, the size of the palm, on the outside
of the leg, which, especially at night in bed, itches constantly,
compelling him to scratch, but afterwards is very sore (seventh day);
erythema continues (ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth days); the erythema
goes off, but leaves behind it a troublesome smarting in the leg, which
compelled him to throw the clothes off the legs at night, as heat
aggravated it (fifteenth day), [34].
► A bluish-red spot suddenly appeared
on the inner surface of the left index finger, like an ecchymosis,
without pain, disappearing after three days (after four days), [48]. ►

second day); in the morning, the number of pimples had increased; some
of them, which had been present yesterday, had at their apices a small

(thirteenth day), [21]. ► Rash over the whole right leg, preceded
by fever; the leg was swollen, hot, bright red, painful, with large and
small blisters in several places, containing yellowish serum, as after

which lasted a long time, without much pain, and gradually healed long
after the inflammation had disappeared, [14].

like scabies, on the anterior surface of the left thigh (thirty-ninth
day); pustules dried up (fortieth day), [29].
[3510.] ►►

followed by inflammation, with throbbing pain, [1]. ► The
pimple on the cheek discharges pus; it is about to disappear (one
hundred and twenty-fifth day), [43b].
► Point of the nose covered with
small scabs, in the morning on awaking (fourteenth day), [43]. ► About
noon, scabs formed on the nose, causing a tiresome tension in it (eighth
day), [43]. ►
On the back, near the loins, several small pimples, which let out a
fluid when scratched (thirteenth day), [45].
► An eruption, precisely similar to
itch, occurred in the bend of the elbows and on the wrists
(fifty-seventh day); pustules disappeared (fifty-eighth day), [16]. ►
In the evening, on the left forearm, eruption of small bright-red
pimples, from ten to twelve in number; they itched much when touched,
easily burst, and let out a little thickish fluid (second day); in the
evening, renewed eruption of pimples, as on the preceding evening (third
day), [17c]. ►
In the afternoon, itching and burning of the skin on the left wrist; in
the evening, there appeared there seven pimples, of the size of a
millet-seed, surrounded by a red areola, and having a white spot at
their apex (sixth day), [39]. ► An insignificant abrasion of the skin on
the hand, which he accidentally received, produced a lively
inflammation, followed by a formation of pus (nothing similar had ever
before happened to him), (twenty-sixth day); suppuration of abraded skin
(twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, and twenty-ninth days); abraded skin
healed (thirty-fifth day), [22a]. ► On the back of the right hand two small
pimples, which he must scratch; itching and smarting between the fingers
(third day); the pimples burst when scratched, excrete a clear
transparent fluid; the itching and smarting between the fingers is not
troublesome (fourth day), [36]. [3520.] ►
Itching and smarting between the fingers of the right hand, on the back
of which appeared a scabious-looking pimple, which went off in the
evening (fourth day), [36c]. ► On the volar surface of the point of the
right thumb, at the side next the index, there appears, in the morning,
a trace of redness. The dorsal part of the thumb, bearing the nail, is
painful to the touch, as if gathering. On the following day, the redness
is more limited, and in its centre appears a whitish spot, which, two
days later, assumes a yellow color and increases in size. A small
purulent deposit, surrounded by a pale-red areola, has formed, which
lies imbedded in the skin, and above which the epidermis is still
smoothly and uninterruptedly extended (twenty-eighth day). The purulent
deposit is elevated into a small swelling, which is covered by a
brownish-colored epidermis (thirty-first and thirty-second days). During
the night, the swelling increased to thrice the former size. That which
increased it so much was not, however, pus, but a transparent fluid,
which had exuded beneath the pus and raised up the latter. The quantity
of this fluid increased during the day, during which the pus gradually
mingled with it. 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. Conjoined with it, there was in the affected finger and
in the whole hand a throbbing pain, which was aggravated by the touch,
and gradually went off in a burning smarting (thirty-third day). The
tension and pain are mitigated. About noon, the swelling burst and
emptied its contents (thirty-fourth day). The collection of the fluid
had included the greater portion of the volar surface of that part of
the thumb where the nail is attached. On the ulnar side it extended
almost to the nail, but the bed of the nail was not at all involved;
consequently, it was not at all a case of onychia. The radial side of
the thumb was quite free from disease, [21].
► At the border of the nail of the
left thumb there occurs an extensive inflammation after an insignificant
