HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
Introduction
Muriatic acid was first proved by Hahnemann.
It is a remedy that is not often used because, fortunately for us, the condition calling for it are nut seldom seen.
Symptoms
In a general way, it is indicated in atomic conditions, wi extreme prostration and want of reaction; in low typhoid states, with great muscular debility but with, ore or less restlessness (160).
In diphtheria (62), scarlet fever (164) and typhoid (193) the fever is not very high, nut we have muttering delirium (55)., sordes on the teeth, dry and burnt-looking tongue, aphthous (140) and other ulceration of the mouth, offensive discharges or haemorrhages from any orifice of the body, bed sores (21) and great prostration with tendency to slide down in bed (21).
It has proved useful for dark-blue haemorrhoids (86) that are very painful to touch, with aggravation from cold water and relief from heat, a nd for haemorrhoids due to pregnancy (153).
It is of value for carbuncles, offensive, blue-colored (206), varicose ulcers (205), epithelioma of the tongue (192), dark blue in color and with tendency to bleed easily, and it is said to be of benefit for freckles (82) although not so spoken of by Dear born.
I use Muriatic acid 3d.
