Provings

1. Dr. AUGUST WIMMER, aet. 57 experimented in Oct., 1867, for 3 weeks, and in April, 1877, for 4 weeks. For 1st week of each period he observed his body in health; for 2nd week be took daily 0.5 grm., for 3rd week 1 grm. of salt in a glass of water. Following are results of second experiment, but are in perfect harmony with those of first.

1 a. Appetite, tongue, heart and pulse were unaffected. during 3rd week there was increased thirst. The drug has a decided diuretic effect. In 2nd week urine increased daily by 68 grms., beginning from 4th d.; in 3rd week by 29 grms. In 4th week, though thirst required an extra 75 grms. of fluid, urine increased by 60 grms. only.

1 b. Stool remained of normal consistence till 4th week, when it became more pappy. In 3rd week it increased daily by 6 grms. and in 4th by 19 grms.

1 c. Discharge through skin and lungs hardly changed at all in 2nd week; in 3rd it fell by a daily average of 13 grms.; in 4th it rose by 40 grms., but this increase is probably to be ascribe to higher temperature of this period, causing increased perspiration.

1 d. Not withstanding diuretic effect there was increase also of solid matters in urine. Sp. gr. increased regularly from 1012.5 in 1st week to 1023.2 in 4th. All constituents participated in this increase save uric acid, which in 4th week was less by 0.704 grm. per diem, urea being more by 5.42 grms., sulfuric acid by 1.69 grm., chlorine by 2.26 grms., and phosphoric acid by 0.79 grm. Regular decrease of weight of body corresponded with increased oxidation, so that during 3 weeks it lost 1700 grms. (1.7 kilo.). State of health also changed for worse about middle of 4th week. A feeling of exhaustion, weakness, and disinclination for work began to be felt; and though from the increased oxidation a demand for more food might have been expected, there was actually an indifference to it. (The Saline waters of Kreuznach, 1878: from Allen.).

Richard Hughes
Dr. Richard Hughes (1836-1902) was born in London, England. He received the title of M.R.C.S. (Eng.), in 1857 and L.R.C.P. (Edin.) in 1860. The title of M.D. was conferred upon him by the American College a few years later.

Hughes was a great writer and a scholar. He actively cooperated with Dr. T.F. Allen to compile his 'Encyclopedia' and rendered immeasurable aid to Dr. Dudgeon in translating Hahnemann's 'Materia Medica Pura' into English. In 1889 he was appointed an Editor of the 'British Homoeopathic Journal' and continued in that capacity until his demise. In 1876, Dr. Hughes was appointed as the Permanent Secretary of the Organization of the International Congress of Homoeopathy Physicians in Philadelphia. He also presided over the International Congress in London.
