Introduction

An alkaloid found in several plants, as Chenopodium vulvaria and Arnica montana: also in such fluids as herring-brine, from which the commercial T. (known as “propylamine”) is most frequently obtained. Its formula is C3H9N.

Provings

1. DUJARDIN – BEAUMETZ took 50 centigr. of the chloride of T. in water. Pulse before experiment was 78; after 1 hours it was 76; after 1.1/2 hours 74; after 2 hours 72; after 4 hours 78 again. Temp., 37.4 (centigrade) before experiment, fell to 37.2 after 1 hour, 37 after 1 1/2 hours, 36.8 after 2 hours (ALLEN’s Encyclopaedia, x, 25.)

2. Another person in perfect health took 75 centigr. of same. Pulse, 88 before experiment, was 84 after 1 hour, 82 after 1 1/2 hours, 76 after 2 hours. Diminished force of heart’s action was also shown in tracing taken. Temp., 37degree before experiment, was 36.8 degree after 1 hour, 36.4 degree after 1 1/2 hours, 36degree after 2 hours (Ibid.)

3. I took 10 dr. in water. In 1/2 h. I experienced a smarting sensation of tongue and fauces, with much thirst; there was also a tingling of the fingers, a sensation of numbness to such an extent that in attempting to pick up anything it felt heavy, and I had to use great effort to retain the article within my grasp. This group of symptoms passed off after 3 h. I then took another 10 dr., and experienced the above symptoms intensified, with the addition of great pain in wrist – joints, also great restlessness, yet inability to stand upon my feet from the pain produced in the ankle-joints. I took no more of the medicine, but the tongue became broad and flabby, the mucous membrane of the buccal cavity was pale, appetite gone, no desire for anything; I became morose, with great desire to be let alone. The pain in the joints was made worse by the slightest movement. In 24 hours after taking the drug I was attacked with diarrhoea; stools were thin, watery, and white. (CHAFFEE, U. States Medorrhinum Invest., June 15th, 1880.).

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.
