Pulmo Vulpis.
Fox's Lung. A Sarcode. Trituration.
Clinical.?Asthma. Bronchitis. Catarrh. Lungs, ¦dema of; catarrh of.
Characteristics.?Recent discoveries in the uses of tissues and organs as
remedies have thrown light on many curiosities of ancient medicine. As the
fox is probably the longest-winded of all animals, the doctrine of
signatures pointed to his lungs as a likely remedy for short breath.
Grauvogl has put on record this case (quoted Hom. News, xxv. 490): Woman,
65, much reduced in flesh by a persistent condition of humid asthma. It
commenced with, chronic catarrh and symptoms of ¦dema of the lungs. Strong,
sonorous bubbling, now rattling, now whistling sounds over whole chest, and
at some distance away; perceptible also to hand laid on chest. Accelerated
short breath amounting to suffocation, even without corresponding heaving of
the chest, frequently with cough and inability to expectorate. [Sometimes,
in light cases, there is no catarrh present, and only persistent shortness
of breath, becoming a paroxysm of asthma on the least bodily exertion.] The
patient could only live sitting up, bent forward; constant lividity of face,
lips, and extremities, and dropsy of legs. Heart's pulsations irregular, and
death seemed imminent. Pulmo vulpis 1x gr. i. was given, and repeated in an
hour. Visible improvement set in but without increased expectoration. After
a third powder the patient was able to lie down, and fell into a refreshing
sleep lasting several hours. In eight days she engaged in her domestic
duties.
