HOMOEOPATHIC ALL MEDICINE

Discovered by Ballard in 1884, proposed as a medicine by Guthrie in 1859, introduced into the Materia Medica of Old School in 1866. Introduced into our School in 1871. Proved by T. F. Allen and published in his Encyclopedia in 1874. Again proved by the Boston School and published by C. Wesselhoeft in 1876, a first-rate proving, which could not be dispensed with. There are very few cures on record, mostly palliations of incurable cases ; but it is of the utmost importance as regards euthanasia. Before going to press we received an excellent collection, through J. H. McClelland, by S. B. Chanter.
