He felt generally well and vigorous, and was busy in his usual active way with his studies. From Chamomilla he experienced some improvement in his general condition, but for the most part the improvement had been only transient. He did not know that I had given him Cham. to prove, but toward the end of his proving he suspected that was the drug. It is true that this proving has its faults, but it cannot be denied that the symptoms of Cham. as experienced by this yourn man, are remarkably numerous and clearly pronounced, ant that he was able to observe these symptoms with special ability and skill."]
