sour stools.
It splits up lactic acid into carbonic acid and water, and eliminates
carbonic acid through lungs. It is therefore the remedy for ailments
arising from excess of lactic acid. “It prevents inspissation of the bile
and mucus with crystallization of cholesterin in the gall duct and will
thus remove the cause of many cases of jaundice, hepatic colic, bilious
headache and imperfect assimilation of fats from lack of bile. It is useful

being thus a remedy for the so-called acid diathesis” (Boericke &Dewey). For Jaundice 1x trituration may be used.
