Sublimed sulphur is laxative and diaphoretic. It is _used externally_ in skin diseases, especially itch, both in the form of ointment and as a vapour bath. It is _used internally_ in hemorrhoids, combined with magnesia, as a laxative for children, and as a diaphoretic in rheumatism. _Dose,_ from one scruple to two drachms, mixed in milk or with treacle. When combined with an equal proportion of cream of tartar, it acts as a purgative.
