<span tc1>{{anchor:s1}}Alumina. {{anchor:s2}}(Argilla.)</span>

{{anchor:s6}}Used by the Old School, but only according to very poor indications.

{{anchor:s7}}Hahnemann had proved the pure earth when Hartlaub edited a collection of 975 symptoms, obtained from four provers, in his <span grade2>Mat.

{{anchor:s12}}Boenninghausen published very remarkable cures with the pure metal, in the <span grade2>A. H. Z.</span>, being guided by the symptoms of the oxide.
