Hahnemann’s Method of Conducting Provings

“After he had lectured to his fellow-workers on the rules of proving, he handed them the bottles with the tincture; and when they afterwards brought him their day books, he examined every prover carefully about every particular symptom, continually calling attention to the necessary accuracy in expressing the kind of feeling, the pain or the locality, the observation and mentioning of everything that influenced their feelings, the time of day, etc. When handing their papers to him, after they had been cross-examined, they had to affirm that it was the truth, and nothing but the truth, to the best of their knowledge, by offering their hands to him, the customary pledge at the universities of Germany. This was the way in which our master built up his Materia Medica.”

The manner of alternation employed by Hahnemann was that which is in conformity with the change of symptoms, the remedy being changed only when the symptomatic indications called for it. Confirmation of this statement maybe found in footnote to § 40, and in §§ 169, 171, 248, 272, etc.

Dyspnea in Cardiac Disease

A word for quebracho. My wife suffered from valvular disease of the heart for ten years. She became so prostrated that she had not left her room for more than six months. I concluded to try quebracho tincture and administered it in doses of a half teaspoonful three times a day. The result has been almost entire relief of the dyspnea, she has gained in flesh and reports herself as feeling like a new being. I need not say that in this case all the old remedies had been tried in vain.
