"We
have 250 Polychrest Remedies. The starting point is commenced with the CM
Potency made on the Dr. James Tyler Kent potentizer. The late Dr. H. C. Allen
originally conceived the idea of making these potencies by tubular method
but considerable improvement has been made on this process by using a circular
tube. Attached to this machine is a water filter, a motor and a water meter
that registers the actual amount of water used. The receiver is a specially
designed glass beaker, by Dr. James Tyler Kent. After a remedy is run up to
its highest point (DMM) this beaker is broken, so that it will not be used
again for another remedy. The remedy to be run up is placed into this beaker.
The tubes are set so they will strike the bottom of the bowl at different
angles letting the surplus water slowly flow over the sides of the beaker.
This beaker is placed into a solid mould so as to prevent it from breaking
on account of the heavy water pressure.

This is the only description of the Allen Potentizer. It appears to be a fluxion machine using a flow of water to raise the potency.
