Characteristics
Uric ac. has been used on inferential grounds in gouty conditions. Burnett gave it in 5th and 6th attenuations. It is most useful in cases where deposits persist ; it stirs them up and helps to eliminate them. It is useful in gouty eczema where the eczema has been " the cutaneous outlet for the constitution." With Uric ac. z. Mersch (H, W. xxx. 395) cured a case of lipoma situated on the eft side between abdomen and breast, " as large as a man's head, only lengthened." Relief was immediate ; the tumour disappeared in a month.
