MERCURIUS SULPHURICUS [merc-sul] [Kent’s](Sulphate of mercury. Turpeth mineral.) Merc-sulf. will sometimes help, when you have a caseof hydrothorax with quick, short breathing, etc., and burning of the chest. If you go to an old case ofhypostatic congestion, with dropsy, or a case of dyspnoea from hydrothorax, when the Merc.base is present, you will be astonished at the action of this sulphate.MERCURIUS CORROSIVUS [merc-c] [Kent’s]Merc-cor. has more excoriation and burning, is slowerand more sluggish. Merc-cor.is violent and active in its movements, it takes hold and runs its course with greater activity. Sowith a mercury base we have often to prefer this salt.In the symptoms there is more excoriation. The pains, burning, smarting, etc., in theeruptions and ulcers are more violent. In we have slow spreading ulcers, but in Merc.cor. there is it will spread over an area as large as your hand in a night.

You cannot tell the ptyalism,or the lardaceous ulcers apart. In , if it is a , the ulcers are spreading rapidlyand burning and smarting like coals of fire, you would say that is not so intense as this. Youneed Merc. cor. for the , the , and the .

It is a violent case of dysentery. I would prefer in ordinary cases, but if this patient is not relieved he will not live, and Merc. cor. is needed here.In the the symptoms are violent. is more marked in Merc-cor. than in . It is one of the most frequentlyindicated remedies in the albuminuria of pregnancy and a very useful remedy when gout is present.From slight irritation of the foreskin of the male organ, the mucous membrane and skin contractand phimosis takes place.

It is seldom indicated in gonorrhea, but is called for when there is greenish yellow or bloody waterydischarge, with violent burning and urging to urination and to stool, and violent painful erections.Chancres spread with great rapidity.Stitching, rending, tearing pains, here and there, especially in the chest.MERCURIUS CYANATUS [merc-cy] [Kent’s]Given a Merc. base and diphtheria, when the membrane is greenish and inclined to spreadthrough the nose and involve a large surface, the Cyanide of Mercury is needed.

Whenin sore throats the inflammation and pain predominantly affect the side, and there is a tendencyto remain on the right side, or if the Merc. state is present and the sore throat goes from to, it is the proto- iodide you want. The patient that needs this remedy for constitutional troubleswill be worse during rest and from a warm room and better in the open air.This is especially true when the patient needs Merc- prot. in neuritis of the right arm that comeson in writers. The arm then is very painful when writing, from passive motion, from rubbing, frompressure, from both heat and cold, but better from walking in the open air. Complaints are nearly allworse on the right side of the body.MERCURIUS IODATUS RUBER [merc-i-r] [Kent’s]Again, if in a Merc. patient with diphtheria, tonsillitis, etc., the inflammation and pain begin onthe side, and incline to remain there or spread to the right, the bin-iodide is indicated.
