Iceland Moss. Lichenes.
The well-known Iceland moss, growing in large quantities in Alaska, recommended to the Old School since 1674 by Olaf Borrichius, Hiaren and other, is prepared by decoction.
Hahnemann calls it, in Lesser Writings, translated by Dudgeon, p. 257, in comparison with the woody sexatilis, the powerful Iceland moss, and in his Apothecary's Dictionary, 1795, a work full of valuable hints, vol. ii, p. 450, he notices what is inserted in the following. Dr. Theodore Rückert, our veteran, published a number of valuable cured symptoms, and introduced it in this way into our Materia Medica (Allg. Hom. Zig., vol. iv, p. 179, 1834) ; his careful observations are marked *.
Provings by intelligent persons are desirable.
