A most interesting addendum to what I wrote!
I happen to have a Kent Rep. 1st edition, and a Kent Rep 2nd edition.
So, out of curiosity, I took a look.
In the 1st edition, Conium is in "Larynx, Crawling" in BOLD.
Kali-carb and nat mur are NOT in the rubric at all.
In the 2nd edition, Kali carb is added in BOLD, nat mur still does NOT appear.
I do not have a 3rd edition to check, but all editions after the 3rd
remained unchanged.
This tells us that Kali carb was added between 1897 and 1908, and Nat
mur was added either by Kent before he died in 1916, or by his wife.
The 3rd was printed in 1924. Kent said, "The third edition completes
my life's work."
So these additions were NOT from the original provings, but were
there, most likely, totally from Kent's clinical experience.
