Comments
Among the ........... symptoms he developed was «choking while eating
or drinking,» and «cough on reading aloud, while talking and after
drinking, caused by choking.» Lower ribs painful to touch or pressure,
especially worse on coughing or sneezing.
Neidhard gave .......... to «a young man affected with symptoms of
tuberculosis,» in whom it produced «a spasmodic cough with a crowing
sound, lasting all night and returning several times.» This homeopathic
aggravation suggested to Neidhard to use ........... in whooping cough
and this is his conclusion, quoted by Hering:
«If the facts collected since 1851, which are numerous, do not prove
that......... will supersede all other remedies in whooping cough, it
certainly may be considered a valuable specific. In order to ensure its
full success, it should be exhibited in the lower dilutions from one to
three, at least in severe cases.»
Guernsey gives it as: «Whooping or any other kind of cough which is
very violent, coming on spasmodically and seeming as though each spell
would terminate life.»
Farrington says the note of .......... is nervous exhaustion. In
whooping cough the catarrh is slight, whoop decided, worse at night and
after lying down. Suffocative feeling, cannot exhale, vomits food
sometimes hours after eating. Asthma of alcoholics of tuberculosis
patients, (after Dros.).
T. M. Stewart reports the case of a man, 47, who had a constant hacking
cough coming on during conversation. For this the uvula was amputated.
As soon as he recovered from the operation the condition was this:
«Coughs after reading aloud or drinking any fluid, cough spasmodic,
hollow, hoarse, worse at night and on lying down, loose in mornings.»
Amb., Cham., Kali-bi., Rumex, Phos., failed to relieve, 1,000c. cured
promptly.
Another point about .......... is the rush of warmth it causes to
various parts. It enables patients to endure extreme cold, makes them
less chilly in cold weather. Washing in ice-water is pleasant. Awakens
at night with congestion of legs. Legs uneasy as if they would become
insensible. Fidgety feet. A short sleep seems to refresh.
A. M. Cushing calls attention to the possibilities of the remedy in
weak sight and tells of a friend of his who had a dose direct from the
......... injected into his eyes: «It was as though fire had entered his
eyes.» For a time be was totally blind, but when his sight returned it
was so keen that he could count the panes in a window said to be two
miles distant.
In another case after getting the poison out of the eye, there was for
weeks after a sensation on opening the lids as of breaking glass. On
Farrington's advice it was antidoted by Crot-h.
