The first prover was the much slandered Nenning, whose masterly provings, comprising 448 symptoms, were published by Hartlaub in his Annalen, in 1833. Hahnemann added his own symptoms (84) in the second edition of the Chronic diseases, and a valuable proving of Rummel, consisting of 23 symptoms, and condensed Nenning's 448 to 290, without thereby occasioning a loss. The symptoms from a poisoning by the fumes belong to Amm. causticum.
