Commentary

Published jointly by the British Homoeopathic Society and the American Institute of Homoeopathy. The four volumes contain records of all provings done to date. Hughes believed that Allen's Encyclopedia had several faults, among them poor translations of the provings and admitting all published provings without checking their veracity. This latter issue was quite touchy since several years earlier a German physician, C.W. Fickel, had published (to enhance his reputation) several provings that were pure inventions. He had published under several pseudonyms as well and his work was often quoted by opponents of the homoeopathic system. This work was assembled by a committee including Drysdale, Dudgeon, and Pope in the UK, and Conrad Wesselhoeft, E.A. Farrington, and H.R. Arndt in the USA. As usual, with the work by Hughes, the scholarship is outstanding. If you have questions about symptoms in Allen's 10 volumes, a check of these four volumes might resolve doubts. But in the process, Hughes, ever the advocate of the physiological dose, eliminated all provings that were done with the higher potencies, thus eliminating much useful information.
