| - | ^ Substance description | Hahnemann: "This substance, often adulterated on account of its high price, we can hope to get genuine only in first-class drug stores. The true ambergris, developed in the intestines of the sperm whale, as was proved by SCHWEDJAUR, and probably a fatty excretion from its gallbladder, is obtained of best quality from the sea, especially after stormy weather, off the coasts of Madagascar and Sumatra. It consists of small, rough, opaque masses, which are lighter than water, of spongy consistence, and can easily be broken up into rough, uneven pieces, externally of a brownish-grey color, internally permeated by yellowish, reddish, and blackish fibers intermingled with whitish, very odorous points, somewhat greasy to the touch, and of faint but very refreshing fragrance. By the warmth of the fingers it becomes soft as wax, by the heat of boiling water its melts into oil, at the same time exhales a strong, very agreeable fragrance, and on heated metal burns quite away. On applying a light to it it quickly takes fire, and burns with a bright flame. Alcohol dissolves it very sparingly, but sulphuric ether dissolves it almost completely, and on adding alcohol a white wax-like substance is thrown down. Its feeble odor is much increased by this solution, as also by triturating it with other substances."| | + | ^ Substance description | Hahnemann: "This substance, often adulterated on account of its high price, we can hope to get genuine only in first-class drug stores.
