Ammon Mur

Ammon. mur. is extremely unlike Ammon. carb. (the Muriatic acid seems to have overpowered the Ammonia so far as pathogenetic effects go).

We find no stimulus, but prostration, a low typhoid state ; pronounced action on mucous membranes, particularly of the respiratory organs ; neuralgia.

As compared with Ammon. carb., Ammon. m. affects more the left side, Ammon. c. the right side ; though Amm. mur. affects both sides.
