Arum Maculatum

Cuchoopint. Aracece.

A small proving of this first of the family of Traces was made by C.Hg. in 1822, on three provers, very good observers. It was printed in 1833, in the Archives 13, 1, p. 169, and reprinted with some toxicological symptoms by Oak, in 1843. The latter are given nearly complete in Allen's Encydopsedia. Some noteworthy reports of the old school are here added, because they fully agree with the observations of our school.
