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.
