In 1824 Stapf published in his Archives, vol. iii, No. 3, p. 183, the Baryta acetica, proved by himself and his friends Gross, Hartman, Hartlaub, Sen., Adams, and Rückert, Sen. There were two hundred and fifty-four symptoms, and some additional observations and collections of Hahnemann on Baryta muriatica. Very few cures have since been published, notwithstanding the masterly analysis of Stapf in his preface.
In 1828, in the first edition of “Chronic Diseases,” vol. ii, p. 32, appeared provings of Baryta carbonica, the symptoms numbering one hundred and eight, which were united with the former of acetica, making in all two hundred and eighty-six. In the second edition, in 1835, with the addition of a second proving of Hartlaub and the numerous provings made on a houseful of girls, by Nenning, and one proving of Rummel, the number of symptoms increased to six hundred and eighteen. Neither Gross nor Rückert made a proving of the carbonica, the symptoms got in by mistake of those who made the arrangement; also Dr. Neumann's valuable observations, which were made after prescribing large doses of Baryta muriatica for two schoolboys, and corroborated by repetition. They found their way even into Jahr's manuals, and repertories, from where they have to be stricken.
As we have to deal here principally with the cured symptoms, and only very few with Baryta acetica have been mentioned, Hahnemann's example is followed, and both acetica and carbonica united, the former marked (bar. a).
This united collection will show that great as the difference is from muriatica there is hardly any between the two others, and certainly none in the symptoms cured.
