S. Gee, who made the proving, as \nOxytropis Lamberti. \nIn Gee's proving, the tincture and potencies from lx to 30x were used. A number of mind and brain symptoms \nwere produced including despondency, forgetfulness, a feeling as if consciousness would be lost, fullness in \nthe head and instability standing. There were pains both in testes and ovaries, and one male prover, naturally \npassionate, became impotent. \nW. D. Gentry in June. 1895, sent Boericke & Tafel specimens of Oxyt. and as this firm is extremely careful \nabout the botany of the p lants they make their tinctures from, Gentry made these remarks concerning the \nplants he sent: \n\u201cMy attention was first called to this plant last winter during January. Soon after my arrival on the territory, as \nit was almost the only green thing showing it self above the snow. Which covered the ground at that time for \ntwo or three days. \n\u201cSome cattle had been eating the weed and as I approached them they tried to move away, but in spite of their \nefforts they backed towards me and in their efforts to escape ma de some ludicrous maneuvers. I observed \nthem closely for more than an hour and was reminded most forcibly by their actions of the symptoms of \nlocomotor ataxia.\u201d \nGentry's observation of loco-disease in winter bears out what is said by other writers, namely, that it is only in \nwinter, when food is scanty, that animals can be induced to commence eating the weed and then they cannot \nleave off. \nGentry made provings of the tincture of the whole plant and seeds on three persons. Two provers had \n\u201csymptoms worse when thinking of them.\u201d They had \u201cpleasant intoxicated feelings.\u201d \nBoth Gentry\u2019s and Gee\u2019s provers had well - marked pains in the eyes and disturbance of vision and Gentry's \nhad \u201cnumb, pithy or woody feeling about and on the spine,\u201d and \u201closs of power to control movements of limbs.\u201d \nMarked action on the nervous system producing uncertain, staggering or back ward gait.

The Astragali are very closely related to the Oxyt.","Chest":"A warm tingling sensation over left chest, just under skin.
