Excerpt from A Treatise on Materia Medica, Vol. 2: Including Therapeutics and Toxicology The injurious effects of small quantities of acid upon the body and the individual organs have been to some extent much exaggerated and inaccurately described. Under any circumstances these acids must be used forav ery long time before any ill effects appear. These are said to be (for in stance after the excessive and long-continued use of food pre pared With vinegar) a wasting of the body, anaemia, and paleness of the skin; they are said to depend upon the di minished alkalescence of the blood and the destruction of the red blood -globules. In discussing the alkalies, we spoke of the probable importance of the alkalies to the normal processes of life, and cannot, therefore, deny that the above symptoms may be due to the diminished alkalinity of the blood and body; but we must insist that there is no positive proof that wasting and anaemia are due to this cause. As to the destruction of the red blood corpuscles it is positive that this has been observed in acute sulphuric -acid poison ing; it can also be seen by mixing blood directly with acids; but, from such coarse experiments we cannot draw any conclusions upon the effect of dietetic doses. As far as acetic acid is concerned, a direct proof that this has any de structive effect upon the blood-globules has not been shown. We therefore, for the present, think it best if we account for the thinness and anaemia simply by disturbances of digestion and nutrition; these are the only necessary results of too long and excessive use of the acids. Whether tuber culosis, as has been affirmed, occurs more often in the vine gar aniline than in other forms of anaemia, is also questionfi able.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Materia Medica, Vol. 2: Including Therapeutics and Toxicology A few of the mineral acids, sulphuric, hydrochloric, nitric, and phosphoric acids, as well as a few of the inorganic (fatty) acids, of which acetic acid is considered the most important, form, both on account of their intimate relationship to the alkalies and albuminoid bodies, as well as from the similarity of their physiological action, a natural group of drugs which altogether have not a very extensive application. The general effect of the acids in destroying bacteria and preventing putrefaction is, when compared with other antiseptic agents, by no means so weak as the assertion of Bucholtz would lead us to suppose. Recent investigations by Sieber have shown that their antiseptic power is even stronger than that of phenol. The mineral acids and acetic acid will prevent putrefaction even in 0.5-per-cent solution; butyric and lactic acids, however, are much weaker; while even a 4-per-cent solution of boric acid B(OH)3 could not prevent putrefaction of the pancreas. Effect of small, greatly diluted doses. - The sour taste of acids is due to a specific effect upon the nerves of taste, since all acids produce the same kind of sensation; the puckering of the mucous membrane of the mouth and larynx, which always occurs after the taking of acids, is probably due to the withdrawal of water from the tissues; sulphuric and phosphoric acids have the strongest affinity for water. Even at the commencement of the digestive canal, small quantities of acid find in the saliva and mucus of the mouth, and later on in the intestinal juices, bile, and pacreatic juice, so much alkali that they can combine with it to form salts, and are thus neutralized.
