“Stoerck, before Hahnemann (1769), recommended it in cancerous ulcers of lips and mammae; spongy excrescences; tophi; inveterate eruptions; old, foul ulcers; peculiar kinds of chronic headaches, and melancholia; arthritis and secondary syphilis.” –Frank's Mag., vol. 4.

It was extensively proved by Hahnemann and his provers, and also by the Austrian provers. See Encyclopaedia, vol. 3, p. 340.
