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,
redistilled.)
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 succussed (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.
