Carbo Vegetabilis.

Vegetable charcoal.

Lowitz, a German, discovered the properties of vegetable charcoal to deodorize and arrest putrefaction. It was first employed in medicine with success, externally, to fetid ulcers and eruptions, afterwards internally for flatulences, its employment all the while being based upon its chemical properties. Hahnemann was the first who elucidated that the dynamic influence was the only curative one, by proving the triturated vegetable charcoal on healthy persons and then applying it in practice. His experiments were made on twenty or thirty different persons, who strictly observed dietetic rules and kept themselves strictly aloof from all medicinal influences. The cruder preparation failed to produce any symptoms of importance, but after potentization was carried farther on, a steadily increasing number of symptoms were produced in sensitive persons and in animals. He used the Carbo ligni betulae, but assures us that well-prepared charcoal acts in the same manner, irrespective of the kind of wood used. The provings by Adams, Gersdorf and Caspari, in the Materia Medica Pura, 1827, contained 720, the Chronic Diseases, including the former, 930; the second edition, in 1837, 1, 189 symptoms. We have had no provings since, excepting one by C. Neidhard, with the second centesimal trituration, which is included. The charcoal contains carbonate of potash.
