1827. Introduced by Hahnemann in his Chronic Diseases, the symptoms numbering 190; in 1831, 191, and in 1837 they had increased to 728. The symptoms referred to Hartlaub and Trinks are from Nenning.

The preparation used by Hahnemann in his provings, and which ought, therefore, to be preferred to all others, was made by placing a thick piece of ox-hide between red-hot coals, where it was allowed to remain as long as it burned with a flame. As soon as the flame ceased the red-hot mass was extinguished by being pressed between two flat stones.
