Manganum aceticum
Acetate of Manganese.
από Samuel Hahnemann — Materia Medica Pura
From vol. Vi, 2nd edition, 1827
Manganese, or the black oxyde of manganese, is carefully triturated in a stone mortar with equal parts by weight of pure crystallized green vitriol (sulphate of iron), and then, mixed with some saccharine syrup, formed into balls the size of a hen's egg, which are heated in glowing charcoal and kept for some minutes at a white heat. The solution of this in pure (distilled or rain) water contains pure sulphate of manganese, the sediment remaining contains the excess of oxyde of manganese, mixed with oxyde of iron.
The carbonate of manganese-a white powder-obtained by precipitation from the clear solution by means of carbonate of soda, and frequently washed with water, is dissolved by boiling in distilled vinegar to saturation, that is, so that some of the powder still remains at the bottom. The clear supernatant fluid (acetate of manganese) is evaporated to the consistence of syrup. A drop of this, representing unity, is diluted with a hundred drops of alcohol by two succussions (made by two strokes of the arm), and this dilution is carried on further until the decillion-fold dilution is obtained, which I have latterly employed for homeopathic medicinal use.
Even this would still be too powerful for most cases, so that only a small portion of a drop of it is given for a dose.
It will be perceived from the following symptoms how extremely powerful this medicine is, and if, as I wish, it shall be further proved by other accurate observers, we shall know how indispensable it is for many of the worst chronic ailments, for which other medicines are not so perfectly homeopathically suitable.
It will be found to be very efficacious, especially in some intolerable pains in the periosteum and joints, diminution of the senses, and diseases of the larynx and trachea.
In small doses it acts for several weeks. Many alternating actions will be found amongst its symptoms.
HAHNEMANN was aided in this proving by AHNER, FRANZ, GROSS, HAYNEL, HORBURG, LANGHAMER, L. RUCKERT, STAPF, TEUTHORN, URBAN, WAHLE, WENZEL.
The only old-school authority cited is: Kapp, system, Darstell. D. verbess. D aranei d. chemie.
The number of symptoms is the same in both editions, viz 331. The Ch. Kr. Has 138 additional symptoms, 109 of these furnished by NENNING.
