S.A. Jones, M.D. , Hales's New Remedies, third edition, p. 471.
At 3 P.M. , I took 10 drops of the mother tincture in 2 ounces of water.
On retiring at 12 P.M. , felt as well as I ever did. Had no sooner laid
down than I was seized with a fit of asthma. I had laid upon my back when
the following symptoms had supervened : Dry wheezing respiration, sense of
impending suffocation, and rapidly increasing dyspnoea. Very loud musical
whistlings during both inspiration and expiration, but louder during
inspiration. The attack soon reached its acme, and phlegm began to come up.
It was scanty, but each expectoration was attended with a sensation that
more would soon follow. My wife now observed that my wheezing was so labored
as to make the whole bed vibrate. Could not possibly lie down ; felt that I
would suffocate if I did not sit up. Phlegm began to come freer and more
abundantly ; had a markedly salty taste, and felt quite warm in the mouth.
Right lung appeared to be more oppressed than the left.
- When the worst of the attack was over I lay on my right side, and then it
seemed as if all the oppression and discomfort was in the right lung.
Shortly after I turned over, and soon it felt as if my left lung was
affected, While the right was entirely relieved.
- It took a long time for me to "come to". Had a constant desire to clear
the chest of something, so that I could inspire better.
- * All the obstruction seemed to be in inspiration.
- On making a forcible expiration, in the attempt to clear the chest, had a
raw, burning, sore feeling behind the whole length of the sternum, and in
each lung, most intense behind the sternum. Slept well all night. After
rising in the morning, raised some loose phlegm easily.
- I am inclined to asthma, and at first though this one of its attacks ;
but as the phenomena were evolved, the programme was so different that my
drink of xxxxxx flashed into memory.
- On the night of the 28th, I was literally drenched with perspiration
while asleep. Was wakened by a patient, when it passed off and did not
recur.
- 29th. I have been annoyed all day by a dread that my right lung is
seriously diseased. Could not shake off the fear. Cough now and then,
raising a little phlegm, which is involuntarily swallowed. Took 10 drops of
the tincture at 1.30 A. M. No symptoms that night. On rising at 8.30, bowels
felt as they have done after a large-sized "spree". Faintly defined nausea
in throat and stomach, and sensation in intestines as if diarrhoea would set
in. At 3.15 P.M. , went to closet, expecting from my feelings a loose stool.
Evacuation was soft, yellow, about a teaspoonful in quantity, and expelled
with great difficulty. Mucous membrane of rectum came down like a tumor
(Have had haemorrhoids). After stools, and while sitting on the "throne", an
aching pain in the rectum, extending upward, and on the left side

>From Burnett"s Fifty Reasons
# XXIV
I am very anxious to show the difference between curing a case empirically and doing so scientifically - that is to say, homoeopathically; and a paper I once published on XXXX will do this, and also be my twenty - fourth reason for being a homoeopath. I choose this because you seem to think my singly given cases "isolated". THE COUGH OF XXXX
XXXX is not an accepted homoeopathic remedy, and Dr. Allen did not insert Dr. Jone's little proving in his Encyclopaedia , but he has put it into the Appendix.
Dr. Hughes has also now added it to the list in his well - known Pharmacodynamics , but only as a supplementary remedy. So it seems to be just timidly peeping into our big drug - house. I know of no clinical experience with it beyond what we find in Hale's Therapeutics .
It appears that the plant has a great reputation in the United States as a cough medicine, and Professor E. M. Hale very properly says that this warrants us in expecting that it has at least some specific affinity for the respiratory organs. The common people have in some way found out that the "XXXX" is good for coughs; Hale comes and makes a note of it. A step farther is made by Dr. S. A. Jones, who made a proving of it in 1870, and this lifted the popular cough medicine out of useful empiricism on to the scientific basis of Hahnemann's induction.
I happened to read Jones's proving in Hale New Remedies some six or seven years ago, and I was much struck with the character of the cough. I fancy the thing that helped to impress it upon my mind was the fact that I had had just at that period a lady under my care who was suffering from a cough that came on after lying down at night. I had been tinkering away at this cough, and could not cure it; so I blamed the damp house in which the lady resided, and its proximity to a brook prettily hidden among the willows close by. Hyoscyamus, Digitalis, and a number of other remedies came into play, but the cough would not budge a bit. Need I tell the heart - rending tale that the patient lost faith in her doctor (the writer) and in his much - vaunted pathy, and set about healing herself with quack medicines and orthodox sedative cough mixtures? Of course, I felt humiliated, and I therefore made up my mind to read my Materia Medica a little more diligently. It was quite evident that the cough was a curable one, for the most careful physical examination failed to detect anything besides a few moist rales that tallied with the moderate amount of expectoration.
Failures are very instructive at times.
Just after having received my conge from this lady, I was reading Hale's New Remedies , and came across Dr. S. A. Jones's proving of XXXX, where he says: "At Three PM I took ten drops of the mother tincture in two ounces of water. An interesting book caused me to forget my 'dose'. The events of the night jogged my memory very effectually. "
He goes on to say that he retired to rest at midnight, feeling as well as ever, but he "had no sooner lain down than he was seized with a fit of asthma."
I put down the book - Hale's New Remedies was not quite so thick then as it is now - and said to myself, "That's Mrs. N. 's cough, that is just how she goes. She lies down and forthwith begins to cough, to get laboured breathing, and to make her poor hard - toiling husband wish he were a bachelor": at least he might have wished it, for ought I know to the contrary.
A little times elapsed, and the writer was sent for to see one of this coughing lady's children with eczema. The bairn's common integument having been prescribed for. I timidly inquired about the cough. "Oh", said Mrs. N., "it is as bad as ever; I have tried everything, and do not know what to do. " I sat down and wrote:
Rx Tc . XXXX 2, and it cured cito, tuto, et jucunde and that not because XXXX is good for coughs, and has an affinity for the respiratory organs merely, but because it is capable of causing a cough like the one that was to be cured.
This happened somewhere about six or seven years ago, and I have since cured this kind of cough with XXXX whenever I have come across it, and at a rough guess I should say that would be thirty or forty times.
