About Leaders for the Use of Sulphur

Leaders for the Use of Sulphur, with Comparisons was published by Boericke & Tafel in 1907. Nash devoted the whole book to one remedy, working through it region by region, from temperament and mind to the skin, and setting the leading symptoms that call for Sulphur beside the remedies most often confused with it.

The comparisons make it an extended differential study as much as a remedy portrait, written in the same direct, clinical style as Nash's Leaders.

In Similia the book is a single Sulphur document following the 1907 edition.
