Sul. iod . was proved by Kelsall on himself and some others. Hale has used it in "obstinate skin diseases, notably barber's itch , for which it is almost a specific." The provings indicate this in "pustular eruption on upper lip" and "erythema on chin." Hale used the 3x trit. internally and applied a cerate (of one or two grains of Sul. iod . to an ounce of Cosmoline). It is also useful, Hale says, in large and painful suppurating acne. Dr. Berlin (quoted H. W ., xxxi. 216) treated with Sul. iod . two cases of "weeping eczema" associated with varicose veins of the leg and pronounced itching. Also a child with eczema of arms. The keynote in all is: "dark red, swollen, and weeping eczematous surface which itches terribly." The 3x trit. was given. The symptoms of Sul. iod . are < in morning; leaning forward; stooping; rising; ascending stairs. > By expectoration. Peculiar Symptoms are: Hair feels as if erect. As if heat in heart. Desire for acids. As if a band across forehead. Hansen mentions among the therapeutic uses of Sul. iod . Thickness of tongue remaining after parenchymatous glossitis. Hypertrophy of parotids after parotitis. Chronic hypertrophy of tonsils. Lichen planus, chronic and simple. Bradford ( H. M ., quoted Org . iii. 111) reports the following cases: ( 1 ) Burning at end of penis; dull pain in prostatic region; weakness across kidneys: frequent desire to urinate with slight flow; eats very little; does not go out of doors; is much discouraged about himself. Sul. iod . 3x cured. ( 2 ) Violent attack of pain in renal region, with shootings down ureters; pain and weakness about kidneys; constant desire to urinate; urine thick and whitish with creamy sediment: Sul. iod . 3x and 6x cured. ( 3 ) Stricture after gonorrhœa; chordee; very painful urination, twisted stream. Yellow discharge: Sul. iod . cured.
