Authorities.
Symptoms not designated are from Hesse (Journ. f. hom. Arznium, 1, 1834), obtained as follows: took, himself, an infusion of half an ounce of the root, after four days a third infusion of the same evaporated from six to two ounces; the second prover, a stout-unmarried woman, æt. 26, took infusions of six drachms of the root; the third, a married woman, æt. 35, took infusions and powdered bark of the root; the fourth prover, a male teacher, lean and phlegmatic, took similar infusions; the fifth, a servant girl, æt. 19, took the same. [These five provings are not designated in any way by Hesse.] Dr. Hesse, in his introduction, says: "I have also made some experiments with potencies, and will give a short account of them here because I did not include in the résumé all of the symptoms, especially those which did not coincide with those obtained from large doses." These provings are now for the first time incorporated in the résumé as follows: 6 , The fourth prover took a drop of the 5th potency; 7 , A servant girl, æt. 18, took repeated doses of the 6th; 8 , A girl, æt. 14 (never menstruated), took the same; 9 , A servant girl, æt. 19, took the same; 10 , An old woman, æt. 60, healthy, took one dose of the 30th.
