Patent Claims:	1. A method of treating a transthyretin (TTR) amyloid disease comprising administering to a subject in need thereof Crystalline Form Type A of Formula IX as its HCl salt characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks at 12.0, 21.8, 25.9, 26.7, and 27.9 degrees 2θ (±0.2 degrees 2θ). 2. The method of claim 1, wherein Crystalline Form Type A of Formula IX as its HCl salt is further characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks at 7.0, 10.4, 13.0, and 13.9 degrees 2θ (±0.2 degrees 2θ). 3. The method of claim 1, wherein Crystalline Form Type A of Formula IX as its HCl salt is further characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks at 15.6 and 17.0 degrees 2θ (±0.2 degrees 2θ). 4. The method of claim 1, wherein Crystalline Form Type A of Formula IX as its HCl salt is characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern substantially in accordance with FIG. 31 . 5. The method of claim 1, wherein Crystalline Form Type A of Formula IX as its HCl salt is substantially free of other Formula IX crystalline or amorphous forms. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein Crystalline Form Type A of Formula IX as its HCl salt is further characterized by a weight loss ranging from about 0.7% to about 1.9% upon heating to around 150° C., as measured by thermal gravimetric analysis. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the weight loss is about 1.3%. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein Crystalline Form Type A of Formula IX as its HCl salt is characterized by water uptake of about 1.6% at 25° C. /80% relative humidity (RH) after undergoing a dynamic vapor sorption cycle which includes pre-equilibration at 0% RH. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein Crystalline Form Type A of Formula IX as its HCl salt is characterized by gains of less than 2.5% weight after undergoing a dynamic vapor sorption cycle from about 0% relative humidity (RH) to about 90% RH. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein Crystalline Form Type A of Formula IX as its HCl salt has a dynamic vapor sorption profile substantially as shown in FIG. 37 . 11. The method of claim 1, wherein Crystalline Form Type A of Formula IX as its HCl salt is further characterized by a differential scanning calorimetry thermogram comprising endothermic peaks at around 211-214 and 237-239° C. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein said differential scanning calorimetry thermogram comprises endothermic peaks around 212.6 and 237.3° C. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the TTR amyloid disease is TTR amyloid cardiomyopathy. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the TTR amyloid disease is TTR amyloid polyneuropathy. 15. The method of claim 4, wherein the TTR amyloid disease is TTR amyloid cardiomyopathy. 16. The method of claim 4, wherein the TTR amyloid disease is TTR amyloid polyneuropathy.
