Mercurius dulcis (Merc‑d.)

Mercurius dulcis (Merc‑d.) appears in 36 rubrics in the repertory. Of these, none are single-remedy rubrics and none are small rubrics; all entries share the remedy with many others. The data are thin and describe a selection of general rubrics. With 14 entries, Fear clearly stands in the foreground, and Delusions are added.

Fear

The fear applies to danger and death, to being murdered and to suicide, to devils, to water and to high places, to falling and to heart disease. It concerns equally the relation to others: listed are fear of people, of the crowd and of being alone, and in addition fear of insanity.

Bearing and irritability

Opposed to this is a hot, bilious temperament that is easily offended and tolerates no contradiction. One rubric lists the tendency to be too correct and well-mannered. The delusion of being superior stands beside the delusion of being alone: "Delusions - superiority, of". Hypochondriasis, complaining and taciturnity round out the picture; being at the seashore improves.

Summary

A fearful, at the same time sensitive person concerned with bearing can be recognized, who feels superior and alone. Reliable peculiarities cannot be derived from these general rubrics.
