Cough deep and hollow, like coughing in a barrel; bronchial tubes appear to be very much enlarged and cough-spasm causes a flabby feeling, as if lining membrane was a loose fold of tissue.

Great rattling of mucus, which appears to be low down in chest, while cough does not seem to reach there, but only to throat pit, consequently hard cough does not reach phlegm unless he lies on his face, when cough brings up a greyish yellow, or a pale greenish yellow, gelatinous mucus without taste.

A young French Canadian of delicate constitution, after working in a factory all winter, began coughing in spring and running down in health.

He returned home and came under my care in May.

The cough persisted and prostration increased, in spite of carefully selected remedies, and the patient took to his bed.

It was then observed by me that the cough and general condition was better from lying on the face.

This, coupled with a knowledge of there being a syphilitic taint in the boy's parentage, suggested Medorrhinum, which was given.

Exposure to contagion had occurred several weeks before, but from lack of vitality the disease could not find its usual expression and was endangering the patient's life. - D. C. McLaren.

During a maneuvre in the army in 1885, Dr. V. got wet by a heavy rain coming into the tent during a whole night.

From this he got a hacking cough, on rising in the morning and in the open air.

It sounded as if he would call some one, and people would turn and look at him with angry eyes.

His throat was thoroughly examined by a specialist, but nothing was found.

In 1901, after 16 years of coughing, he consulted Dr. Ide, one of our greatest homeopathic physicians.

He ordered the doctor to take Medorrhinum one dose, and await the result.

On reaching home he took the dose, and next morning had no cough, nor did he cough afterwards, even in the open air.

From this he always had an unpleasant feeling and burning pain.

All this vanished like magicp
