Hello,
Good Year 2007 to all from France!
I am looking after the proving of Raeside of Venus mercenaria. If one of you

Warmly

REMEDY NAME:VENUS MERCENARIA
(American scallop)
Ven-m. Venus mercenaria. American Scallop. Pelecypoda class, living along
the
Atlantic Coast of America, France and Southern England. The remedy is
prepared from the mother tincture of the mollusc, plus an equal part of a
trituration at 1/100 of the shell. Historical dose: All potencies, 5c
to 30c.
Venus Mercenaria, the American scallop is a bi-valvular mollusk. The proving
after a suggestion by D. M. Foubister, was conducted by Raeside in 1961-62
on
nineteen provers, plus seven controls during three terms, one dose morning
and evening for fourteen days, using the following potencies: 30c - first
term, 12c - second term. 6c - third term. The third term produced most of
the
