MIND
- Emotional.
- (Anxiety, feverish delirium, with great dyspnœa, burning in the stomach, vomiting, twitching of the whole body, and death), 8 . [This occurred six months after taking Sulphur. -Hughes.]
- Delirium; she destroys her things, throws them away, thinking that she has a superfluity of everything, wherewith she wastes to a skeleton, 4.

- Very much excited and very passionate, on violent motion, 1.*
- Agitation, with the sore throat, 53.
- An indolent excitement, almost as after coffee, 1.
- She talks nonsense day and night, 4.
- Numerous morbid ideas, extremely disagreeable, causing rancor , though with also joyous thoughts (and melodies), mostly from the past, take possession of her, they throng one upon another so that she cannot free herself from them during the day, with neglect of business, worse in the evening in bed, when they prevent falling asleep (after four hours), 1.*
- She imagines that people injure her, and that she will die in consequence, 1. [10.]
- Vexatious and morbid ideas of the past arise from the most indifferent thoughts, and from every occurrence in life, which continue to be united with new vexations, so that she cannot free herself from them , together with a courageous mood which is ready for great resolution, 1.
- She fancies that she is becoming emaciated, 1.
- She fancies that she has beautiful clothes; old rags look like fine things, a coat like a beautiful jacket, a cap like a beautiful hat, 4.
- Greatly inclined to philosophical and religious reveries, 1.
- The whole forenoon a state of mind partaking more of earnest exaltation than of depression or want of cheerfulness (second day), 30.
- The spirits were better than usual, more disposed for literary work than he had lately been (eighth day); spirits much diminished towards evening by the recurrence of the sacro-lumbar crampy pain (ninth day); spirits diminished in proportion as they were previously increased (tenth day); spirits uncommonly good (thirteenth day), .
On satisfying his appetite his cheerfulness returned, but only for a short time, for during the whole evening he was absorbed in himself and unable to command his thoughts to read, so much so that he sat staring at the same page for upwards of two hours (twenty-second day), 35b.
- Anxious, fearful (second day), 1.*

- *Awoke with great anxiety and heat all over, at night , and with a sensation of a cramplike condition of the whole body, 1.
- *Great anxiety, in the evening after lying down, so that she cannot fall asleep for an hour, without palpitation, 1.
- Great anxiety, with involuntary discharge of thin fæces (ninth day), 21.

The earthy phosphates, the sulphates, the phosphate of soda, and the uric acid were increased, the chlorides normal. The morning urine of the 9th of January was pale-sherry color, clear, without sediment, specific gravity 1021. The uric acid and all the salts increased, only the chlorides normal, the uroxanthin abundant, the urea diminished. The morning urine of the 14th of January had a specific gravity of 1019; the sulphates and the uric acid were very abundant. The morning urine of the 15th of January had a specific gravity of 1023, and a great deal of uroxanthin; otherwise similar to that of the previous day. From the 20th to 31st of January I made almost daily quantitative and qualitative analyses of the urine. The morning urine was usually of a pale-sherry color, clear, and without sediment; the urine passed after dinner, or in the evening, was dark-sherry color. The specific gravity on the 20th was 1015, and the following five days 1022. It had generally a strong acid reaction; abundance of uroxanthin; the urea, was a rule, diminished, the chlorides generally normal, the earthy phosphates somewhat increased, the phosphates of soda and sulphates much increased; the uric acid was deposited in much greater quantity than in the normal state, but was of very loose texture, and hence a large quantity weighed very little. Thus the urine of the 22d of January contained in 1000 parts 943.6 of water, and 56.4 of solid constituents, and among the latter uric acid formed only the 0.365th part. The urine of the 21st January contained in 1000 parts 949.6 of water, and 50.4 of solid constituents, of which the sulphates formed the 0.65th part. The urine on the 28th of January was also of a bright-yellow color, clear, without sediment, strongly acid, its specific gravity 1016, but otherwise resembled that of the previous days. The qualitative analysis showed in 1000 parts 961.6 of water, and 38.4 of solid constituents. The uric acid was abundant. I took 22 grams of urine, precipitated the sulphates, and obtained 0.14 parts of sulphate of potash, which, consequently, in the proportion of 1000 parts showed the presence of the considerable quantity of 5.6 parts. On heating recently emitted urine in an ammonia apparatus, the vapor arising tinged the litmus-paper blue, and the same reaction took place on adding caustic potash, which expelled the ammonia. Thus for three days there was free ammonia in my urine, which does not and should not occur in normal urine, and is to be ascribed to the action of the Sulphur. The urine of the 29th, 30th, and 31st of January was of a dark-sherry color, clear, and without sediment, had a specific gravity of 1018, 1019, and was not changed by heat; the urea was as usual small in quantity, the chlorides normal, the earthy phosphates abundant, the sulphates, and the phosphate of soda very copious. The uric acid, which was deposited in great quantity, was combined with ammonia. In the urine of the 30th and 31st of January were traces of iron; there can be no doubt that it came from the blood by a peculiar process of excretion, probably induced by the excess of Sulphur, .

GENERALITIES
- *Emaciation, 34, 45c. [3260.]
- The venous blood, instead of becoming red in the air as usual, seemed to be partly melanotic, changed less in the air, and in part did not become red at all; the arterial was redder and turbid, dependent on the dissolved coloring matter of the blood. The blood was unable to take up as much oxygen and to give out as much carbonic acid as before the use of Sulphur. The coagulum formed slowly; even after twenty-four hours it had only partly separated from the serum. The blood-clot, after the use of Sulphur, was 3 per cent. larger than before, 46.
- The blood of patients who take large doses of Sulphur for a long time, becomes darker in color and richer in white corpuscles, 46.
- The solid constituents of the blood generally, both of the serum and of the albumen, were diminished after the use of Sulphur, 46.
- Experiments on both healthy people and patients showed, that after the use of Sulphur, the solid constituents of the blood constantly diminished, the blood-corpuscles became less numerous, apparently gave out more carbonic acid and took up more oxygen, 46.
- The general action on the blood was a diminution of the solid constituents, of the serum, albumen, fat, fibrin, blood-corpuscles, and of the clot. In only two observations was there an increase of the fibrin, in a third an increase of fat and clot, in a fourth of serum and albumen, in a fifth of serum and clot. In general it can be said there is scarcely any secretion or excretion which is not increased by the action of Sulphur, 46.
- Extraordinarily large doses cause the death of the blood-corpuscles in such quantities that they cannot all be eliminated; if continued, smaller doses are taken, the blood is freed from the blood-corpuscles, which are dissolved, 46.
- Universal tremors (after one hour), 51.*
- The next morning slight twitchings of the muscles of the face and extremities were noticed, which soon developed into a general convulsion; this subsided in a few minutes, consciousness returning slowly. As soon as reaction was fully established after a chill the spasm returned, this time in a tonic form, affecting first the right side, then the front of the body, afterwards the back, and finally the jaws; the latter were so firmly set that nothing could be administered by the mouth. Subsidence of the spasms soon followed, the muscles immediately, relaxed, and the child died instantly, 67.

SKIN
