MERCURIUS
(Quicksilver, Argentum vivum.)
In commerce this metal is often adulterated
with an admixture of lead, sometimes also of bismuth. The best way
to purify it is to put it in a porcelain saucer, pour over it a
watery solution of nitrate of mercury, and let it boil for about
an hour over a charcoal fire, always adding water to replace that
lost by evaporation. The acid in this solution takes up the lead
and bismuth and disengages its mercury which becomes added to the
mercury to be purified.
Mercury in its fluid metallic state has but
little dynamic action on man's health, it is only its chemical compounds
that cause great effects.
Among the salts of mercury those which for
several centuries have been chiefly used in the treatment of diseases
are those formed with a small proportion of muriatic acid (sweet
mercury, miercurius dulcis, calomel, hydrargyrum muriuticum
mite) and the complete muriatic mercurial salt (corrosive
sublimate mercurius sublimatus corrosivus hydrargyrum muriaticum
corrosivus) for internal use, and its combination with fatty
substances (unguentu mercuriale s. neapolitanum,unguentum hydrargyri
cincreum) for external inunction. I will pass over the innumerable
other preparations of mercury, chiefly combinations with other acids
or prepared with other substances, which have been used less frequently
and have attained no lasting repute.
This is not the place to estimate the medicinal
value of all these preparations. It would, indeed, be impossible
to do this because even those of them in commonest use have been
but little, and those more rarely employed not at all, tested as
to their true peculiar action on the healthy human body. Consequently
they cannot be homoepathically selected for particular morbid states
with any certainty of a curative effect. Thus much only does careful
proving enable me to express from experience, that they all display
in their action a certain general similarity as mercurials; whilst,
on the other hand, they differ greatly from one another in their
peculiarities, and very much in the intensity of their action on
the human health. Especially should it be observed, that all the
saline preparations of mercury display a number of little known
but generally very active accessory effects, according to the nature
of their basic acid, which differ very much from the mild absolute
effects of perfectly pure mercury, unaltered by any acid.
Even mercury merely united with fatty substances
in the form of ointment excites peculiar effects on the human body,(
John Bell complains that he has never succeeded in curing the venereal-chancre
disease by merely rubbing in mercurial ointment, without being compelled
to destory the chancre by the aid of external remedies. But by the
internal use of a mercurial preparation uncombined with any acid,
such as the mercurius solubilits (hydrargyrum oxydulatum nigrum),
the whole disease, including the chancre, is cured, without any
external remedy for the latter being required.) different from
those produced by the internal administration of the mild, pure,
semioxydized mercury (aethiops per se), probably because
in the ointmet it is chemically combined with fatty acids.
Now, as the hornoeopathic method rejects
all medicinal substances that produce heterogeneous accessory effects
in consequence of being combined with something else, I have long
endeavoured to obtain pure mercury in such a condition that it should
be able to dispaly its ture, pure, peculiar effects on the human
organism in a more powerfully curative manner than all other known
preparations and saline combination.
What a long-continued, mechanical
succession of fluid mercury, or as was practised in ancient times
its trituration with crab's eyes or solution of gum effected very
imperfectly, viz, its change into semi-oxyde free from acids, this
I sought to do in 1787 and 1788, by precipitating is from its solution
in nitric acid made in cold, by means of caustic ammonia. This preparation
of mercury, distinguished by its black colour, was, under the name
of mercrius solubilis Hahn. (mercuriu oxydulatus niger),
preferred in almost all countries to all other mercurials hhitherto
in use, on account of its much milder, more efficacious antisyphilitic
virtues. But a more careful investigation showe me that even this
did not possess the highest degree of purity. In fact, its dark
black colour was rather owing to an excess of the caustic ammonia
required for the precipitation of the somewhat over-acid nitrate
of mercury. But nitrate of mercury with excess of acid generally
contains some muriate and sulphate of mercury (which even in very
small quantities possess a deleterious acridity). These are concealed
by the dark colour of the black oxyde, are precipitated along with
it, and thus render it somewhat impure.
In order to avoid this, in the
preface to mercury in the second edition of this first part of the
Materia Medica Pura, published in 1822, I directed the mode
of preparing a perfectly pure precipitate of mercury, obtained
by caustic ammonia acting on nitrate of mercury quite free from
superfluous acid. This is of a dark grey colour; it is a perfectly
pure oxyde of mercury, like the powder obtained by prolonged succussion
of the metallic mercury, and called aethiops per se.
This preparation, being a perfectly
pure mercurial medicine, was quite unobjectionable except that the
process for making it required much care and labour.
But as one of the rules of homoeopathy,
as also of common sense, enjoins that we should attain our aim the
simplest and shortest way (quod fieri potest per pauca., non
debet fieri per plura), so in this case the aim is attained
in the speediest, easiest, and most perfect manner by acting according
to the directions laid down in the second part of the Chronic
Diseases , p, 5. One grain of perfectly pure mercury (such as
is employed for making thermometers) is triturated as is done with
other dry medicinal substances, with three times 100 grains of milk-sugar
for three -hours, up to the million-fold powder-attenuation described
in detail in the place referred to),( After the trituration
of the grain of mercury with the first 100 grains of milk-sugar,
there still remains on the smooth surface of the porcelain mortar,
in spite the most diligent scraping, a considerable black
discoloration, which is almost entirely taken up by the trituration
of one grain of the first trituration with a second 100
grains of milk-sugar, and is completely effaced by the third
trituration.) and one grain of the last is dissolved in diluted
alcohol; this solution is twice succussed, and a drop of this solution
is raised through 28 dilution phials to the decillionfold potency
(hydrargyrum purum potentiatum X).
One small globule (300 of which
weigh one grain), moistened with the last dilution, is the appropriate
dose of this very medicinal metal for all suitable cases.
The following symptoms were produced
by the administration or the black oxyde of mercury (mercurius
solubilis), which was generally pure enough to develope mostly
pure mercurial symptoms, whereby, as I hope, the knowledge of the
peculiar powers of this metal has beep increased in no small degree.
They show that if we select mercury
only for such morbid states, the totality of whose symptoms is met
with among those of the drug in striking similarity;- when, moreover,
we only employ it in the most perfect, pure and highly potentized
preparation and in the above-named dilution; we shall find in it
an indispensable, highly serviceable remedy for very many cases.
But mercury has been only too
often improperly employed in all sorts of diseases in allopathic
practice, in which either it was believed that benefit could not
be obtained by milder remedies, or where it was taken for granted
that induration and obstruction existed which had to be resolved
by this metal which was held to be a universal solvent, or where
in obstinate ailments, as so many are, a concealed. venereal infection
was groundlessly imagined to lurk. When aggravation of the symptoms
ensued from the daily repeated doses, the allopath did not ascribe
this to the unsuitability of the medicine or the disease, but be
usually attributed it to the dose being too small for such a great
disease, and he then attacked the patient with larger and more frequently
repeated doses of more-energetic mercurial preparations (if he wished
to produce a very powerful effect he gave corrosive sublimate);
he rubbed a quantity of mercurial ointment into the skin, and in
this way destroyed life, or at least ruined the health beyond possibility
of recovery, in innumerable cases.
But, as we now know, all chronic
diseases, with but few exceptions (pure syphilis and sycosis being
among , these), arise from more or less developed psora ; and even
where uneradicated syphilis or sycosis is complicated with developed
psora, the latter is more and first to be attended to in the treatment.
But mercury (and especially its impure but acrid preparations) can
never serve for the radical cure of psora, must always make it more
incurable. This will easily explain the disastrous results of the
mercurial treatment of chronic diseases of all sorts.
I leave out of consideration
the injudicious treatment by blood-letting, by repeated purgatives,
by the-frequent abuse of opium in order to allay all sorts of pains,
to procure sleep and check diarrhoea and spasms, by cinchona bark
in to order to cut short intermittent fevers and strengthen the
patient , in cases where the uncured disease and the squandering
of the juices and strength by the doctor were the only causes of
the weakness. Apart from these injudicious operations, there is
no remedy employed by the alllopaths, who plume themselves on being
healers of diseases whereby the life of patients afflicated with
chronic diseases is oftener destroyed than their favourite calomel
and corrosive sublimate. How different are the results obtained
by homoeopathy in its treatment of the sick!
In it, the smallest dose of the
purest mercury in the above-mentioned highest development of potency,
demands, on the part of the true disciples of this method of treatment,
the most careful selection of the case of chronic disease in which
this remedy may be unhesitatingly given, and in which it is indispensable
to the cure. I refer to other cases than to the pure venereal chancre
disease (syphilis), uncomplicated with psora, where its employment
is positively indicated. In this cane, too, one single smallest
dose always suffices for the cure of this chronic miasm.
This, the only rational employment
of this noble metal, has nothing in common with the abuse of the
drug which has for several years past been prevalent in the ordinary
method of treatment, where calomel (mercurius dulcis, in which the
mercury, owing to its combination with muriatic acid, has other
properties very different from its original, specific ones) is blindly
employed in almost all diseases, without distinction, in large doses,
generally combined with opium without any knowledge on the part
of the practitioner of the real effects of either the calomel or
the opium, and without any attempt to distinguish the cases in which
the former or the latter, or both together, are suited. We may well
say that here the irrational practice, allopathy, has reached its
climax. This homicidal practice deserves only condemnation, and
is not worth further notice.
The perfect saline combination
of mercury with muriatic acid, the mercurial sublimate (corrosive
sublimate, mercurius corrosivus sublimatus) is is somewhat
better known by reason of its frequent abuse. On account of its
solubility in water and alcohol, and hence its capability of being
diluted to every degree, it is more adapted for homoeopathic use.
I have given some of its symptoms further on, which are well worth
being added to,that will serve to give some.idea of its peculiar
action, which is very different from that of pure mercury. I have
found a single dose of a. small portion of a drop of the quintillion-fold,
or better still, of the decillion-fold dilution, given alone,
to be almost specific in the common autumnal dysentery. In this
case the truth of the homoeopathic law of cure is distinctly corroborated.
So also the sulphurous combination
of mercury, cinnabar, possesses its own peculiar properties which
differ from those of pure mercury, though they are not yet well
enough ascertained. In the symptoms I have given below, I have made
a small commencement to the knowledge of its medicinal worth.
When even the purest mercurial preparation
causes injurious effects, if administered in unsuitable cases of
disease, therefore unhomoeopathically, then, according to the character
of the untoward symptoms that arise, the antidote will be found
in hepar sulphuris sulphur, camphor, opium, china, or nitric acid.
All these remedies must, however, be given in very small doses,
selected in accordance with the symptoms present.
Cases of slow poisoning by mercury,
especially the trembling of gilders, are said to be relieved by
electricity.
The symptoms here recorded that
have been observed from the administration of the black oxyde of
mercury are mostly primary effects. Very few of them can with certainty
be said to be secondary effects. These are distinguished by painlessness
and non-inflamrnatory character. Among them I rockon e.g. a kind
of hard, cold, painless swelling of the glands and a certain cataleptic
paralytic weakness of the muscles.
