^ Substance description | Yellow precipitate. Turpeth mineral. HgSO<sub>4</sub> 2H<sub>2</sub>O. There is not a little confusion about the identity of this drug in the books. Turpeth is correctly given by Allen as HgSO<sub>4</sub> 2 HgO. Hering, who proved and introduced it, calls it Turpethum and Turpeth mineral, but gives the formula HgSO<sub>4</sub>. The Pharmacopoeia of the American Institute of Homeopathy describes the white sulphate, HgSO<sub>4</sub>, under the heading Mercurius sulphuricus, but says it is "mentioned in Allen's Encyclopedia" Vol. vi., p. 325; whereas it is Turpeth, the yellow precipitate, which is there spoken of. Trituration. |
