Dioscorea

by

6. Dr. A.M. CHUSHING proved, November and December, 1867, the first thee dec. triturations, and the 4x, x, and 6x dilutions, of dioscorein (the “concentrated preparation” of the plant). During January and February, 1868, and again in August and September, he proved the tincture and attentions of day itself. A long catalogue of symptoms were produced, whose record occupies some thirty closely-printed pages. They consisted, at first, of pains of no special character, felt at various times in nearly every part of he body, without any persistent or noteworthy alteration in the general health. They were (especially in the early part of the proving) relieved by motion, save the headache. There was much bloating, and at times copious emission of flatus. Towards the end of the proving, there was much lowering of strength and spirits; and the sexual function was depressed from the first. (On Dioscorea Villosa, 1869).

Richard Hughes
Dr. Richard Hughes (1836-1902) was born in London, England. He received the title of M.R.C.S. (Eng.), in 1857 and L.R.C.P. (Edin.) in 1860. The title of M.D. was conferred upon him by the American College a few years later.

Hughes was a great writer and a scholar. He actively cooperated with Dr. T.F. Allen to compile his 'Encyclopedia' and rendered immeasurable aid to Dr. Dudgeon in translating Hahnemann's 'Materia Medica Pura' into English. In 1889 he was appointed an Editor of the 'British Homoeopathic Journal' and continued in that capacity until his demise. In 1876, Dr. Hughes was appointed as the Permanent Secretary of the Organization of the International Congress of Homoeopathy Physicians in Philadelphia. He also presided over the International Congress in London.
