The American Provers Union was organized as a society on August 15, 1853,and published its first pamphlet,“Suggestions for the Proving of Drugs on the Healthy.” The Provers Union’s last publication,“The Proving of Cannabis Indica,”was published in Philadelphia in 1859. In the Homoeopathic literature, little is mentioned about this society. This is also true of the American Institute of Homoeopathy’s Central Bureau of Materia Medica, which appears to be the catalyst for the American Provers Union, and other similar local societies. This article contains the complete text of the original pamphlet, “Suggestions for the Proving of Drugs on the Healthy.”
