When a medical officer in the United States service, stationed in Southern Alabama in the summer of 1865, I was frequently baffled in my efforts, as were others, to cure dysentery, so com- mon and fatal among the troops. I wrote North to a young friend, not then a physician, who sent me Hahnemann's Organon, HuWs Jahr, and, later on, Fincke's book, and some of his and other potentized medicines. I read the books and made suc- cessful use of the remedies, particularly Corrosive Sublimate and Opium. Next year I began systematic provings with * the medicines sent, and others of my own preparation. My plan was then, and has been ever since, to work with one remedy for several weeks, giving it to an individual in water every hour or so until symptoms developed, as many persons taking it at the same time as I could conveniently obtain. While with some I could get no satisfactory results, yet out of a sufficient number of others who were sensitive I observed symptoms common to all those affected to enable me to understand the remedv, and, most important of all, to convince me beyond a doubt of the truths of Hahnemann's Organon. Just as there are some who will not be affected by causes which produce disease in others, so a potentized medicine will not always bring out its characteristic symptoms on some provers, although my observation teaches me it is much more likely to act, or is more to be depended on than infection or similar cause of disease. Idiosyncrasies are called out in proving, peculiar to an individual, of which I have taken no notice. They may be produced often by other medicines, and so are misleading. My object has been to collate a few reliable symptoms, not as many as possible. What is written is, to the best of my knowledge, true, and was worked out originally for my own guidance and information. It is now given for what it may be worth to the profession. There is nothing herein copied nor obtained from any one else. The symptoms are responses 1 0 of nature as far as I could understand her. From time to time 1 have given these records, in a fragmentary way,to others, but for the first time do they appear in this completed form. The work was apparently so small and imperfect, so slow and diffi- cult to compile that I have long hesitated to publish these re- sults of my observations for a period of twenty-live years. It is given as an encouragement to those traveling the same road; perhaps as a help, and especially to those investigating for them- selves without accepting the dictum of anybody. I have also ooked upon it as a contribution and an acknowledgment for the benefit received from the teachings of others. The provings, as far as possible, are in the language of those on whom they were #made. dust now, when a strong tide is setting against anything like 7/a/(m»ia/i»iatt Homoeopathy, and its practice dwindling and al- most obsolete, it may induce others to investigate or prove highly potentized remedies, because it is believed by those who use them that they are curative in cases where other remedies fail. It is not possible to have any belief in them otherwise. He who ridicules without having made a patient investigation is not com- petent to pass an opinion on their merits. I am sure the result will be surprising, and make a convert of any candid investi- gator. In this way can the losing cause be placed on a sure basis. The methods and brilliant cures of the former generation of homoeopaths, by whom the system was established, are almost unknown, and to-day there is practically no difference between the allopath, who uses parvules and triturates, and the honm-o- path usually met with. The remarks are mostly made concerning Fincke's high po- tencies, but are equally true of those made by Jeniehen and others, as I have frequently verified. The medicines were given in water as a rule. Patients never knew that they were making provings of medicines. The pellets were put in one-half a tumbler of water and a teaspoon ful at least every two hours, often every hour. Symptoms generally oc- curred on the third day. The provers in many cases had local ailments, fractures, injuries, etc., which did not interfere much with their general health or complicate medicinal symptoms. 3 ACONITE-NAP.50M. Caused such free sweating, to make use of patient's language, you could have wrung out his shirt. It checked or modi- fied night-sweats for awhile in a number of consumptives, and moved the bowels three times a day, liquid stools. Almost the first effect of highly potentized Aconite is to cause perspiration quickly. Profuse sweat during sleep. Great inconsolable anxiety. Anxious feeling. Rash like measles, lasting only a day or so. Free sweat, with pain in joints and muscles. ACTiE-R ACEMOS A&C. Given to a man every hour during the day for two weeks • caused slightly bloody urine; urination frequent. Sick feeling in epigastrium, costive. It was noticed that it suppressed menstruation in a certain number of females, in addition to urinary symptoms. Adeps-suis.1m (F.). Constipation.—Hard, dry stool, cramps in stomach. Bowels that were constipated now move daily, weakness after the stool, cramps about the navel, severe pains between the last lumbar vertebra and sacrum. Such great weakness behind her knees in popliteal space that the prover could hardly get up. Hips and elbows painful on motion. Hard, dry, insufficient stool not easily expelled. Caused bowels that were constipated to move daily. I have frequently verified this in curing constipation when there was loss of ex- pulsive power in rectum. Stools dark, hard, and dry. v£sculus50M. Headache, drowsy, walking difficult, so weak; legs ache; all provers complained of extremities being much affected, bowels loose. Hands and face swell up enormously and increased so after washing. Pimples appeared on face and body. This was no- ■4 ticcd iu only one ease where medicdne had been given for several weeks. Many pimples on the face, few on the body, in most provers. A(;ark rs-\irsc.',7M. Completely relieved a severe bearing-down sensation in the uterus, which I had been treating unsuccessfully off and on for a year and a half. After some weeks it returned slightly, when she had not been taking the remedy, but was cured by a second exhibition of it. Soreness in ovaries. Giveu to a number of females, produced general stiffness. Arms and back of neck stiff. Little hard, red pimples scattered all over the body, like flea bites. Never has been so sleepv as during this last week. (Second week of the proving.) Beating on top of head toward forehead, cured bearing-down pain, very thirsty, never has been so thirsty, twisting pain in umbilicus, pain in both hip-joints, gets up stiff like an old rheu- matic, stiff joints in general. Soreness deep in two spots four inches on either side of middle of sternum, hurts or weakens her to breathe deeply or speak continuously, little hard pimples break out on side of her nose and about her lips. Giveu every hour for a week caused cramps and chills as if she were goiug to have the ague, couldn't remain up, had to lie down, had to pass water all the time, severe bearing-down pain when she attempted to walk. Talking in a loud voice and deep breathing hurt her in the right ovarian region, bowels now move twice a day instead of once. These symptoms were most violent on the third day. A<.aric-mus.-m. Sick at stomach, threw up a good deal, abdomen verv sore, below the navel sore to touch. Ailanthu.s45M. September 2(Jth, 1872.—Mary \\\, widow, aged forty, medi- cine every two hours during the "day, symptoms after a week : Had a slight trouble with her knee as if sprained ; had alwavs been in good health.

Valeriana-officinaliscm. More than doubled the amount of urine usually passed ; noth- ing peculiar about it other than being very light in color. This was the first prominent symptom. Great restlessness. Variolinum45M. Has proven wonderfully successful in small-pox.
