The same medicine is prepared in a simpler and almost more powerful and uniform manner, by taking one grain of the powdered nux vomica seed, and treating it like, other dry medicinal substances, by triturating it thrice with 100 grains of milk-sugar (according to the directions for the Homeopathic preparation of medicines in the second part of the book on Chronic Diseases) up to the millionfold powder attenuation.”
