Natrum Sulphuricum.

Sodium Sulphate; Glauber Salts. Na OSO3+10aq.

Since its discovery by Glauber, in 1658 (de natura salium), it was called Sal Mirabile by himself, and afterwards Sal Glauberi. It has been used as a laxative in so-called inflammatory affections, or employed as a purgative (Comp. Pereira, ed. by Carson). The Chinese use it for the same purpose, according to Scherzer (Austrian Expedition). It is rarely given in smaller doses, largely diluted, as an aperient and diuretic (American Dispensatory). It was proved in still smaller doses by Dr. Schreter, in Lemberg, Galicia; the proving published in 1832, in Hartlaub's Annalen, vol. 111, No. 4, and by the zealous and meritorious Nenning in Bohemia, by himself, and several women and girls, published in 1833, in the same journal, vol. 4, No. 4.

In Grauvogl's works, Grundgesetze, 1858, Das Homopathische hnlichkeitgesets, 1861, Ditetik und Prophylaxis, 1862, Lehrbuch der Homopathie, 1866, it is recommended as a polychrest in the “hydrogenoid constitution,” Sycosis, Leucaemia and Thrombosis.

Long before this it had been used in the 30th centesimal to prevent the development of some forms of consumption by Hering, was given in important cases of sickness by Jeanes, in abdominal disorders and chronic diarrhea by Lippe, and in the second potency with prompt result in some forms of sciatica by Raue and Hering, according to symptoms of Nenning.

For complete collection of symptoms see Hering's Monograph, Am. Jour. Hom. Mat. Med. Sulphate of soda is contained in a great many springs, used and abused as medicines.

It predominates in the warm springs of Karlsbad (Sprudel), of Bristol (hot well), and in the cold springs of the Isle of Wight, and of Pllna, Saidschtz, Marienbad, Bilin, and Franzensbad, in Bohemia. –C. Hg.

Introduced by Schreter, proved by him and Nenning (Hartlaub and Trink's Annalen, vol. 4, p. 487), Lembke (N. Zeit. fr Hom. Klinik, 1866, vol. 11, p. 97).
