Hepar sulphur — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
with alarming recrudescence of the bad symptoms : then Hepar comes in and “ straightens things out We have seen this !* Both have swellings, inflammations and suppuration of all the glands of the body : but the gland suppurations of Hepar are sudden and rapid : while those of Silica are slow, and very slow to heal—till Silica is administered. The discharges of Hepar are offensive : smelling (characteris tically) of old cheese ; ulcers very offensive, smelling like old cheese, and very sensitive. Hepar has horribly offensive leu- corrhcea, " the odour can be detected when she enters the room ” : while the Silica " smelly ” feet leave their aroma in all the rooms and passages through which their unfortunate owner has passed. “ Hepar promotes and regulates suppuration in a remarkable manner (second only to Silica) but is generally required at an earlier stage than Silica.” (Farrington.) But the genius of the two remedies is dissimilar, because their mentalities are as wide as the poles. Silica, with its want of self-confidence ; its lack of " grit ” ; its timidity ; its sufferings from anticipation—as when having to appear in public. . . . Hepar—sensitive beyond all bounds of reason : Irritable— impetuous. Sensitive to draughts ; to air ; ulcers so sensitive that they cannot bear the lightest touch {Lach.) ; sensitive ment ally—even to sudden murderous impulses. Nash says of Hepar: “ Its strongest characteristic is Hy per sen sitiveness to touch, pain and cold air. “ The patient is so sensitive to pain, that she faints away, even when it is slight. “ If there is inflammation or swelling in any locality, or even eruptions on the skin, they are so sensitive that she cannot bear to have them touched, or even to have the cold air blow on them. . .
