Acidum muriaticum Anhang 2

[Samuel Hahnemann]

(Muriatic acid.)

(It should be carefully freed from the sulphuric acid often mixed with it, by means of re-distillation over the chloride of sodium, or (better) it may be precipitated by muriate of baryta, and, after being thus freed from the sulphuric acid, redistelled.)

For medicinal use one drop of it is first diluted by means of too succussion with 100 drops of diluted alcohol (made of equal parts of distilled water and strong alcohol taken together ten time),

and of this one drop is to be twice successed (with two strokes of the arm) with 100 drops of undiluted alcohol (1/10000th), and then of this one drop is to be again twice shaken with 100 drops

of alcohol (1/1). One globule the size of a poppy of a drop, for with one drop 200 such globules are sufficiently moistened. Yet this million-fold dilution, although administered in such a small

volume, will be found in many cases to be still too powerful when muriatic acid is homoeopathically indicated, because this medicine possesses a high degree of efficacy.

Although a tolerably homoeopathic employment in suitable morbid states can be made from the following observed alterations in the healthy, yet it would be desirable to possess a more complete

proving of it as to this pure effects.
