Cadmium metallicum
Source
Cadmium Metallicum comes between zinc and mercury, with an atomic weight of
48.
The animal toxicology, especially in the cat, indicates vomiting, loss of
appetite, emaciation.
Sneezing and coughing, with profuse secretion from the respiratory and
ocular mucous membranes.
The first proving was carried out by Burdach in 1827 with a half grain, and
later by Petroz.
Allen mentions it in his encyclopaedia.
The proving was undertaken again at the instigation of the International
League of Homoeopathy in 1947, and a report was set up by Gutman in 1951.
The proving was made on thirty-eight provers, using the following potencies
: 2c, 3c, 6x, 12x and 30c.
The latter potency showed no pathogenetic action.
In another connection, MacFarland made a proving on four female provers
using the Skinner potencies, 10m and 50m; Templeton experimented on nine
provers with 2c; Pahud on sixteen provers with 2c, 3c, 6x, 12x and 30x.
