Карбо анималис

Гомеопатические классические монопрепараты

 (Animal charcoal.
 (In order to prepare animal charcoal, thick piece of ox-leather is placed among red-hot coals, and allowed to burn until the last flame has completely expired, and then the red-hot piece of leather is quickly placed betwixt two stone plates, so as to extinguish it immediately, otherwise it could continue to smolderin the air, and thus dissipate the greater portion of its charcoal. A grain of this is triturated with 100 grains of milk-sugar in a pocelain mortar for an hour (every ten minutes being divided between six minutes of trituration and four minutes of scraping); of this product one grain is again triturated in a similar manner with 100 grains of milk-sugar, and of the powder thus made one grain is again triturated for an hour in the same manner with 100 grains of fresh milk-sugar, in order to produce the million-fold potentized attenuation of carbo-animalis.
 Although the animal charcoal presents so much similarity in its effects on the human health to the vegetable charcoal, yet there are so many differences from the latter in it, and so many peculiar symptoms, that I consider it useful to record here what I have observed from it.
 Some symptoms were observed by a Russian physician, Doctor Adam; these I have indicated by the letters Ad.
 A very small portion of a grain of the million-fold (1/1) pulverulent attenuation is usually quite sufficient for a dose and acts for at least three weeks in chronic diseases. сamphor proved itself an antidote and alleviating remedy for its too energetic action in highly sensitive persons.
 [ вeside ADAM, above mentioned, HAHNEMANN got a few symptoms from WEISE in Rust’s Magazin f. d gesammte Heilk., vol. xxii. This medicine makes its first appearance in the 2nd Edit., where its symtpoms are 191; in the сhr. Kr. there are 728, 214 of these being selected from the 254 symptoms in HARTLAUB and TRINKS S R.p.mL., and 23 contributed by WAHLE.
