This alone will greatly stimulate the body to defend itself against the mercury. It is necessary to defend oneself against the mercury to the very depths of one's bones when one has been treated with it. For you have perhaps all heard that after mercury cures, small droplets of mercury can be detected in the bones when an autopsy is performed. When the organism is strengthened by the hot baths, it is already a strong helper to the organism. That it helps sufficiently can be seen from the fact that the bathwater turns black from the returning mercury. Did you not notice that? You have to notice it! Because you don't understand why the bathwater is so dark. If that does not happen, then an arsenic bath should be taken, with about 5% of an arsenical water added to the bath; again, the patient should take a warm bath and, in particular, it should be ensured that the peculiar smell of ink that arises is actually smelled by the patient, so that he has a sensory impression of it.

Dann wird der Organismus schon dadurch außerordentlich stark angeregt, gegen das Quecksilber sich zu wehren. Es ist notwendig, daß man sich bis in die Knochen hinein gegen das Quecksilber wehrt, wenn man damit behandelt worden ist. Denn Sie haben vielleicht alle gehört, daß bei Quecksilberkuren bis in die Knochen hinein kleine Quecksilbertröpfchen nachweisbar sind, wenn die Autopsie gemacht wird. Wenn der Organismus durch die heißen Bäder gestärkt wird, ist schon damit ein starker Helfer dem Organismus erwachsen. Daß es genügend hilft, bemerkt man daran, daß das Badewasser sich schwärzt von dem zurückkommenden Quecksilber. Haben Sie das nicht bemerkt? Man muß es doch bemerken! Denn man begreift nicht, wieso das Badewasser so sehr dunkel ist. Wenn das nicht eintritt, müßte man ein Arsenikbad nehmen, etwa 5% eines arsenhaltigen Wassers in das Bad hineingeben; wiederum in warmem Bad nehmen lassen und namentlich darauf sehen, daß der eigentümliche Tintengeruch, der da entsteht, auch wirklich gerochen wird von dem Patienten, so daß er einen sinnlichen Eindruck hat davon.
