I am looking at the 1997 Abstracts, Section on General Pharmacy, from
the HPRS 1995.

Class F. Trituration of Solid Substasnces
Decimal scale: one gram of dried crude substance is triturated with 9
gm. of Lactose (USP) to produce 10 gm of 1X. Subsequent triturations
are prepared with 1gm of the preceeding with 9gm of Lactose.

Centesimal Scale: one gram of dried crude substance is triturated
with 99 gm. of Lactose (USP) to produce 100 gm of 1X. Subsequent
triturations are prepared with 1gm of the preceeding with 99gm of
Lactose.

Class H: Conversion of insoluble basic substances into liquid attenuations
Decimal: one gm of 6X trituration is dissolved in 10ml of purified
water and succussed to produce a 7X. 1ml of the 7X is added to 9ml of
dispensing alcohol and succussed to produce 1220ml of 8x potency. The
7X intermediate should be made fresh and then discarded. It is not
for commercial use.

Centesimal: one gm of 3C trituration is dissolved in 50ml of purified
water, then a suffient amount of dispensing alcohol is added to
produce 100ml of 4C liquid attenuation. The entire amount is succussed

There is no mention anywhere of the length of time for trituration,
nor of Hahnemann's method of adding only 1/3 of the lactose,
triturating and then scraping, then another third, and then another
third.

Hope this helps.

Yes. It is done, according to Hahnemann, in 20 minute segments-- 1/3
of the lactose each 20 minutes. Hahnemann gives exact times for
grinding and scraping (i.e., turning the mixture in the bowl.)
