Seems to be from Hering, according to Nash ("Leaders..." - Calc carb -
giving indications in tuberculosis)

"Of course there is generally cough, and it may be tight or loose, yet the
case rests mainly on the symptoms outside the cough
- This remedy in this disease and the success attending its use is one of
the illustrations of the soundness of Hering's advice when he says "treat
the patient, not the disease." [I. 71 to 76]"
