PHOSPHORICUM ACIDUM
(Phosphoric acid.)
(From vol. v, 2nd
edit., 1826.)
(To prepare it, we take one
pound of bones calcined white and broken into small pieces, place
them in a porcelain jar, and pour over them one pound of the strongest
sulphuric acid. The mixture is to be stirred with a glass rod several
times during twenty-four hours, then well mixed and diluted with
two pounds of good brandy, and the whole tied up in linen bag and
pressed out between two smooth boards loaded with weights. What
remains in the bag may be again diluted with two pounds of brandy,
and the expressed fluid added to the first quantity. The whole is
to be allowed to stand for two days, so that the cloudiness may
settle down. The clear fluid is now to be decanted off, evaporated
in a porcelain dish over the fire, and melted at a red heat. The
melted phosphoric acid should be as clear as crystal, and while
still warm it is to be broken into small fragments and preserved
in a wellcorked bottle, because when exposed to the sir it soon
completely deliquesces into a thickish fluid as clear as water.)
A grain of this crystalline acid
id dissolved in 100 drops of a mixture of nine parts of water with
one part of alcohol (the alcohol being added in order to make it
drop easily). The solution is succussed twice (with two strokes
of the arm). A drop of this is again succussed with 100 drops of
alcohol by means of succussion with two strokes of the arm. This
is 1. And the process is repeated up to the trillion-fold dilution
(III). A sugar globule the size of a poppy seed, and moistened with
this trillion-fold dilution, is administered for a homoeopathic
dose.
The following remarkable, pure,
artificial morbid symptoms produced by phosphoric acid on the healthy
body indicate of them selves the natural morbid states in which
it is specifically curative by reason of homoeopathic similarity.
Every dose acts for more than
two weeks in chronic diseases.
The over violent action of phosphoric
acid is diminished by camphor.
