General
Affects markedly the respiratory organs and was pointed out by
Hahnemann as the principal remedy for whooping-cough. Drosera
can break down resistance to tubercle and should therefore be
capable of raising it (Dr. Tyler). Laryngeal phthisis is benefited
by it. Phthisis pulmonum; vomiting of food from coughing with
gastric irritation and profuse expectoration. Pains about hip-joint.
Tubercular glands.
Head.
Vertigo when walking in open air, with inclination to fall to
the LEFT side. Coldness of left half of face, with stinging pains
and dry heat of RIGHT HALF.
Stomach.
Nausea. Aversion to and bad effects from acids.
Respiratory Organs.

fauces and soft palate. Sensation as if crumbs were in the throat,

Harassing and titillating cough in children — not at all
through the day, but commences as soon as the head touches the
pillow at night. Clergyman's sore throat, with rough, scraping,
dry sensation deep in the fauces; voice hoarse, deep, toneless,
cracked, requires exertion to speak. ASTHMA WHEN TALKING, with
contraction of the throat at every word uttered.
