Abstract: At the Institute for the History of Medicine of the Robert Bosch Foundation at Stuttgart, under the direction of Professor Werner Kümmel, the autor of this paper is going to edit before long the volume DF5 of Hahnemann´s diaries in French and German. An analysis of Hahnemann´s ordinances for the patients of DF5 shows that he extent with sulphur used by him at that time mainly to instigate tho organism and to increase the efficacy of the drugs prescribed afterwards, probably for epilepsy. Hahnemann introduced potencies higherthan C30 in September 1838, beginning with C100, and arrived by degrees at C199. In mixing the drug more efficiently by dropping-in instead of pouring-in he learned to dynamize the medium. Only later on he mad a consequent use of his new principle in lessening the concentration of the medicine in the course of the cure instead of raising it as formerly. At first other drugs but sulphur - f.i. nux vomica - were not yet given in high potencies.
