A tincture is used made from a single dark-flowered plant. No proving of this remedy has come under my notice, yet I consider the following case worth reporting: T. T., age twenty, a clerk; admission date, 30th April, 1892; never heard well on the left side, but particularly deaf the last month, and deafness increases; watch, hearing contact only. History of much earache in childhood; left ear discharges, but the discharge does not run out. Wisdom teeth; left upper and right, lower and upper, breaking through. Gave _Cheiranthus cheiri_. 28th May, hears very much better; left, 3-1/2 inches. No medicine. 11th June, continues improving gradually; left, 15 inches. 25th June, continues to hear voices very fairly on the left side, but no improvement since last time; left, 15 inches. Gave _Cheiranthus cheiri_. 25th July, restoration of improving condition; left, 20 inches. No medicine. CHIONANTHUS VIRGINICA. NAT. ORD., Oleaceæ. COMMON NAME, Fringe Tree. Snow-flower. PREPARATION.--The fresh bark is pounded to a pulp and macerated in two parts by weight of alcohol. (The following is the only proving, we believe, ever made of this drug; it was the thesis of Dr. John W. Lawshé, Atlanta, Ga., on his graduation, and was published in _North American Journal of Homoeopathy_, May, 1883). This being the first and only proving of this drug, Prof. Lilienthal requested a copy of it for publication, which I cheerfully agreed to give him. Monday, July 10, 1882, 9:30 A.M., I took one drop of the tincture, after having taken the 12x and 6x potencies, one day each, without any effect. I continued taking the tincture each hour during the day, increasing each dose one drop till five were reached, then increased each dose five drops till twenty-five were reached, but without any effect whatever. Tuesday, July 11th, I began with thirty drops at 9 o'clock A.M., and increased the dose five drops each hour till I reached one drachm, and took three doses of one drachm each. I retired at 10 o'clock feeling perfectly well. I awoke at 4:10 A.M., Wednesday, July 12th, with a severe headache--chiefly in the forehead and just over the eyes--especially the left eye. Eyeballs exceedingly painful, feel sore and bruised. Cutting twisting pains all through my abdomen. I turned over and lay with my face downward, which seemed to relieve the abdominal pains some, and after awhile I went to sleep. I awoke again at 8:20 feeling very sick and badly all over. Head feels very sore all over and through it; heavy dull feeling in forehead and a drawing or pressing at the root of my nose. I felt so weak I had to sit down awhile before I could finish dressing; _never_ before felt so sick at my stomach. Bitter eructations, great nausea and retching, with a desire for stool.
