Arsenicum Album

The white oxide of metallic arsenic. As^^ O3.

One of the oldest of Hahnemann's provings, but not published in the Fragmenta, nor in the first volume of his Materia Medica. The reasons for this omission he gives in 1816, in the second volume. The ignorant, maltreated, easily frightened people, seeing the great effects of small doses, cried him out a " poison doctor." The first edition oi Arsenicum contained 294 of his own, and 368 from other sources; some from his disciples, Stapf, and Hornburg; the rest quotations from various authors, on which, how- ever, he never placed much value.

In 1824, in the second edition of his Materia Medica, his own symptoms had increased to 431, and the symptoms of others to 516; Stapf, 23 ; Horn- burg, 15; Langhammer (one of the best provings we have of this remedy) 58 ; Frederic Hahnemann, 13 ; Baehr, 11 ; Meyer, 6 ; the rest are quotations from the old school ; total, 947.

In 1833, in the third edition of his Materia Medica, we have a much im- proved edition, although containing some symptoms from Fowler's solu- tion, in all, comprising 1068 symptoms.

In 1839, as an appendix to the second edition of his Chronic Diseases, Hahnemann gives us a fourth and last revision, with many more internal improvements and abridgements, including a proving by Nenning, in all 1231 symptoms. The administration of Arsenicum is more often disappoint- ing than that of any other drug, the cause of which lies in the too numer- ous collections of poisonings, and the lack of symptoms produced by higher potencies. This view is corroborated by the collection of the Sulphur symptoms were the relation is the reverse.
