• The hypochondriasis and hysteria of Nat. m. generally go pari passu  in the degree of constipation; and Nat. m. is one of the  most commonly needed remedies in that complaint. The most characteristic symptom in this  connection is a sensation of "contraction of the rectum during stool; hard fæces at  first evacuated with the greatest exertion, which causes tearing in anus, bleeding and  soreness; afterwards thin stools also passed; constipated every other day." There is  also retention of stool; and a feeling after stool as if there were more to pass. Nat. m. answers equally well to constipation and diarrhœa when  the collateral symptoms correspond.

• 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
• 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
• there is no single symptom that is of  greater value to the homœopathic 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
• 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.
• People who  "must have something between breakfast and dinner-time" are generally benefited by Sul. This 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 diarrhœa. 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.
• "Chill" is  "suppression" in another form.
• 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
• The caution is usually given to repeat Sul. seldom in cases of tuberculosis; and  to give it only in the early stages.
• The power of Sul. in acute inflammatory conditions is  allied to its action in intermittent fevers. Sul. is the chronic of Acon. in the effects of chills; and if Acon. does not promptly solve the difficulty, Sul. will be required.
