Homeopathic classical monopreparations

 ( * Mr. A. S. Wilson, in Transactions of the Edinburgh вotanical Society for 1874, declares that the poisonous properties of the grains are due to the ergot (Claviceps purpurea) which so commonly infests it, and that when care is taken to select perfectly sound kernels they prove absolutely inert.
