Dr. H. Goullon reports in the pop. Zeit. fur Horn., April, 1885, a case of cycosis cured by Calcarea sutph.6 the case presented the yellow purulent conditions calling for this remedy.

Dr. S. writes: Mrs. S., set. 24, of Regeusburg, who had been suffering for several years from lichen, had used various well-known medicines, which had done her no good. I tried various remedies, and at last cured her. A few months ago she came again, and the lichen was worse than ever. My former remedy had no effect; and with several others, Arsen., etc., it was no better. I gave her Cahurca sulph., night and morning, in quantities as large as a bean, and in a fortnight the curt was complete. (From Schussier).

Case illustrative of the beneficial . in pemphigus foliaceus. - Allg. Hom. Zeit., l882.

Julia C, aet. 3, eruption all over the face and on the hands, which are kept covered to prevent scratching; has been afflicted eight months and been under the best allopathic treatment without benefit. Gave her at first Kali mur6, in solution. This remedy was continued for some time, but without much benefit, if any. Gave her then Calcarea phos5. in solution. This remedy produced a change for the better in a week, and it being continued cured the case in two months. The beat of the following summer seemed to produce a relapse, when the same remedy again cured it, and she remains well. (C. T. M. |

Case of skin disease lasting for years, consisting of a recurring eruption of fine red pimples, and, when very severe, the pimples run together, the surface presenting a red swollen appearance, a strong alkaline fluid oozes out copiously; after this exudation the inflammation subsides, and the cuticle comes off in fine scales. Eruption itches and stings intensely, and although formerly relieved by cold water the irritation has become relieved lately by heat. He has also used Acetic acid, except on the face, which allayed the itching and redness. He has taken in the last year Fowler's solution of Arsenic, but without relief. The attacks are worse in the fall and spring, and the eruption is mostly on the face, arms and chest. Constipation is present. After using Kali sulph. a few days, commenced having boils and had a great many, after which the skin was better than it had been for years, bowels also better.

In another case, a great deal worse, having lasted twenty-five years, the scaly eruption, mostly on arms, relieved by hot water, entirely disappeared, but returned a year after, when the same remedy in repeated doses of the 30th, finally the 200th, brought relief. (C. Hg).
