, it behooves us, in order to secure all the
better a favorable result, to give a dose of highly-potentized Sulphur
at the very outset of the disease. After having used the first portion
of Apis, a globule of Sulphur 30 or 6000 may be interposed, the former
in all cases where no Sulphur had been used, and the latter in cases
Sulphur had been used in large doses. We permit such a dose to act for
twenty-four hours, after which Apis is resumed, and continued according
to the above stated rule.
Sulphur should likewise be given in all cases where the furuncles
reappear at different periods. Such a reappearance of the eruption,
after it had once been cured by Apis, shows that a psoric taint pervades
the organism which it is absolutely necessary to meet with specific
counter-acting remedies.
The more frequently we meet such difficult complications, and see with
our own eyes their successful treatment, the more we learn to appreciate
the fact, _that Apis cures to a certainty the most dangerous affections
of this kind, and that the anti-psoric remedy corrects at the same time
the primary degeneration of the tissues, without either interfering with
the operations of the other drug, on the contrary, by assisting each
other_. In
PANARITIA
Apis proves the same invaluable remedy.
Genuine panaritia only spring up in psoric ground, and in regard to
extent and intensity of development, depend altogether upon the existing
psoric taint. Hence it is indispensable to extinguish this taint by
appropriate remedies. This is most effectually accomplished by at once
giving Sulphur, the most powerful of our anti-psorics. Sulphur seems to
attack the evil at its very foundation, and we feel perfectly satisfied
with its action, except that we would like to hasten the course of the
disease still more, in order to abbreviate the tortures inherent in
this malady. This result is most certainly accomplished by means of
Apis.
If panaritia are the result of excessive doses of Sulphur, Apis meets
our case perfectly. In hundreds of cases panaritia spring up and will
continue to spring up from such a source, as long as the world continues
to live in darkness, and to reject the rays of truth which the genius of
Hahnemann has sent forth among the benighted understandings of his
fellow beings. Notwithstanding Hahnemann's teachings concerning the
medicinal power of Sulphur, which the world has now been in possession
of for years, and which the mos
