each and every part and cell of the body. Once Mercury has settled in
the body it is extremely difficult, if not impossible to eradicate its ill
effects. Like Arsenic, it too produces deep and permanent ill effects,
however, Arsenic does not get carried into the next generation. Its ill
effects remain confined to th e person poisoned, though they last
throughout his life. Arsenic embedded in the body gets buried with
the person. Mercury however, is ex tremely dangerous because its ill
effects pass on from generation to generation.
Syphilis also behaves the same way. That is why Mercury happens to
be a top class treatment for syphilis . Syphilinum too, given in very
from the syphilis lesions. However in case it does not benefit, it will at
compounds. The above basic feature of Mercury must be well
remembered that its poisonous effects last throughout one’s life as
well as getting passed onto the next ge neration. In an ironic sense,
Mercury is a dangerous poison with ev er-lasting effects. In fact, it
days, the doctors used to treat syphilis with Mercury. It offered
temporary relief but resulted in long -lasting deleterious effects on the
body. The syphilis simply got suppressed and transmitted through
reproduction to future generations. Besides this, past physicians used
unnecessary use of mercury produces syphilis like symptoms.

hand, has the capability to cure these symptoms.
smell are the common symptoms of Mercury, well known to
others. It is difficult to explain the nature of this smell. One has to
personally experience it. Proper use of Mercury will surface the
illness to the skin. Sometimes a severe itch, discharging sinuses and
the skin. Once I saw a patient who had widespread painful whitish
ulcers on and around the thighs that were intractable. With the use of
Mercury, he was, by the grace of God, completely cured within a
month.
When the sores developing on the skin turn into ulcers with raised

Merc Cor. The ailments of Merc Cor happen to be severe and of acute
as chronic conditions. Chronic dysentery associated with passage
of mucus and blood should be treated with Merc Sol. If, however,
the dysentery is of acute onset and is associated with severe gripes
(tenesmus) and continuous bleedin g, then Merc Cor will be found
more effective.
In Mercury ailments, the gangrenous process involves the lips, the
inside of the cheeks and the gums (cancrum oris). The overlying skin
becomes dark and looks horrible. In syphilis, a similar affliction is
noted on these areas. The nose may also be affected with the resultant
suggestive of Mercury ailments.
One sign of Mercury is the forma tion of white specks on the skin
resembling leucoderma. This condition is neither leucoderma, nor do
the spots spread and coalesce lik e leucoderma. But, if the
constitutional symptoms of Mercury are also present, then Mercury
can effectively cure even leucoderma. Another tine, a patient had
widespread leucoderma affecting th e entire body and also had the
general symptoms of Mercury. A single dose of Mercury 1000

damage to deeper glands, but, while it primarily works on the deep
glands and organs, it may surface so me kind of skin condition. This
shows that the Mercury has rendere d the glands healthy by pushing
the disease from the inside, out to the skin.

He put forth a unique discovery, to enhance the faith of homoeopathic
physicians in homoeopathy. He clai med that it was revealed to him
that if the diseases of the glands can be expressed to the exterior of the
body i.e. in the skin, then the deep glands are spared from some grave
conditions. He mentioned Mercury a nd Sulphur in this respect. In

Mercury has a fluctuating nature. Its ailments show ups and downs in
their severity. Blood pressure and fever can also behave the same
way. In other words, Merc Sol should be used for the treatment of any
inconsistent type of condition.
When the symptoms of Mercury become severe, the hands tremble
and become weak. One becomes incap able of even holding a cup of
tea.
Mercury may possibly be of benefit in the treatment of epilepsy-like
conditions in children as well as neurological diseases associated with
athetosis).
A Mercury patient has an impulsive nature, speaks rather fast and is
impatient. He wants to do things at the spur of the moment. His
anger knows no bounds. The tendency towards insanity may be very
