Excerpt from The British Journal of Homoeopathy, 1883, Vol. 41 To judge how far this would suit the wants of the real homeopathic practitioner, let any one take up Watzke's Colo cynth, which consists simply of the proving diaries describing the symptoms in the natural order of their occurrence, and imagine an index added referring to the individual sym ptoms by a number. Supposing, then, it was wished to know all the varieties of any symptom of this drug, say giddiness, we should have a list of ten, or twenty, or thirty referring to that number of sentences or paragraphs where giddiness is mentioned scattered up and down the proving. To hunt up all these would be quite impossible for the practitioner. Suppose, then, to obviate all that searching through the pages of the proving, pretty full details of each variety were given in the index, that would be so voluminous as to amount to a complete schema, and involve printing the whole proving over again.
