What is Lapis albus, and for what disease is it used chiefly ?

It is the Silico-Fluoride of Calcium , and was recommended by Grauvogl for goitre, as it formed an important constituent of the water of a Swiss valley where goitre was prevalent. It is also of use in certain forms of enlarged glands about the throat. Anaemia is an indication for its use. It acts best in the 6th trituration. Enlargement of the mesenteric glands and chronic glandular swellings in scrofulous children, not a stony hardness but those with some elasticity about them.
