The mental effects of sulphur are thus given. “Sadness and dejection—melancholy, with doubts about his soul’s welfare—great inclination to weep, frequently alternating with laughing—inconsolableness, and reproaches of conscience about every action—attacks of anxiety, in the evening—nocturnal fear of spectres—fearfulness and liability to be frightened—restlessness and hastiness—caprice, moroseness, and ill humor—irritability and fretfulness—disinclination to labor—great weakness of memory—diliria and carphologia—mistaking one thing for another—philosophical and religious reveries, and fixed ideas—insanity with imagination, as if he were in possession of beautiful things and in abundance of everything.” The description of _all_ the effects of sulphur occupies _seven_ pages, and if it be a true description, it certainly must be a very terrible thing to take sulphur. There is a great show of accurate discrimination on the part of Homœopathists. Extreme niceness of observation is claimed to be absolutely requisite for the successful practice of Homœopathy. The distinctions which are made in regard to symptoms are not only minute, but sometimes laughably so. Pain is divided into simple, rending, pressing, tightening, rasping, rheumatic, stinging, jerking, periodical, contracting, burning, boring, spasmodic, cutting, bruizing, cramping, drawing, compressing, constringing, sore, disabling, squeezing, &c. Some of these distinctions our ‘allopathic’ mind cannot comprehend. Perhaps the acuteness of a Homœopathic mind may recognize the exact difference between pressing, compressing, constringing and squeezing pains, but I confess that I do not. All these different kinds of pain are produced by different agents, and different agents cure them. Not only so, but the same pain requires different remedies, as it appears in different parts. Thus while one remedy cures a pain in your _whole_ neck, quite another one cures the same pain in the _nape_ of the neck. Different remedies are required to relieve the same pain in the shin, the heel, the ball of the foot, the toes, &c.
