Therapeutic of Asthma.

ARUM DRACONTUM.
Respiratory Organs. Hoarseness on awaking in morning. Hoarseness; expectorates thick mucus. Rattling of mucus at every full expiration, which disappears in morning. Excess of mucus in larynx; increased soreness and great disposition to cough. Laryngeal symptoms deep-seated and persistent. As of larynx partly obstructed. About midnight great oppression of breathing, soon passing off, leaving rattling in larynx and trachea. Paroxysms of dyspnea with aching in chest. Violent asthmatic attacks at night; from cold. Loose cough with dry soreness of throat, like catarrh; rattling of mucus; agg. lying down at night. Expectoration thick, heavy, yellowish-white, with continuation of a violent cough. Hoarse, croupy cough with sore throat; rattling laryngeal breathing, swelling of air passages threatening suffocation. ASCLEPIAS TUBEROSA.
Respiratory Organs. Dry cough, with constriction of throat; causing pain in forehead and abdomen; dry, hacking cough, agg. night and morning; from irritation of larynx or bronchia. Respiration painful, esp. at base of left lung. Breath smells like pepper. Humid asthma; agg. after eating: agg. after smoking a little. Oppression and difficulty of breathing; in paroxysms, like asthma.

BACILLINUM BURNETT.
This year too, I have given Bacillinum to several patients at the Hospital St. Jacques for the same symptoms and it has never yet failed me. When I am called upon to treat a patient suffering from an obstruction of the bronchial tubes occasioned by mucus, which is frequently thick and opaque and puriform and obstruction extending to the delicate bronchial ramification, and causing oppression more frequently than cough-I turn my thoughts at once to Bacillinum. Bacillinum is a drug for old people or, at any rate, for those whose lungs are old; for those chronically catarrhal, or whose pulmonary circulation is enfeebled without regard to the age of the subject; for those who have dyspnea, and who cough with difficulty from inaction of the respiratory ducts; for the humid asthmatic, the bronchorrheal, who feel suffocated at night; and, finally, for those who, after taking cold, are straightway attacked with pulmonary congestion. Here, I believe, is the exact sphere of action of Bacillinum as a homeopathic remedy.

BLATTA IRIENTALIS.
ASTHMA. ESPECIALLY WHEN ASSOCIATED WITH BRONCHITIS (Bry., Calc-S., Kali-M., Lyc., Merc., Nat-M., Phos., Sep., Sulph., Tab.), (Br.).

BROMUM.
Returning to the study of Bromine, we find it useful in affections of the lungs. It is indicated in asthma, when the patient feels as if he could not get air enough into his lungs, consequently he breathes very deeply. The explanation of this lies not only in the lungs, but also in the constriction of the glottis. Although the patient expands his chest well, air does not go in on account of the narrowness of the opening in the larynx. It is especially indicated in asthma coming on, at or near the sea-shore.

BLATTA IRIENTALIS.
ASTHMA. ESPECIALLY WHEN ASSOCIATED WITH BRONCHITIS (Bry., Calc-S., Kali-M., Lyc., Merc., Nat-M., Phos., Sep., Sulph., Tab.), (Br.).

BROMUM.
Returning to the study of Bromine, we find it useful in affections of the lungs. It is indicated in asthma, when the patient feels as if he could not get air enough into his lungs, consequently he breathes very deeply. The explanation of this lies not only in the lungs, but also in the constriction of the glottis. Although the patient expands his chest well, air does not go in on account of the narrowness of the opening in the larynx. It is especially indicated in asthma coming on, at or near the sea-shore.

CACTUS.
Periodical suffocation, with fainting, cold sweat on face and loss of pulse (Dig.). Congestive asthma. Oppressed breathing when walking; agg. open air; with anxiety; as from weight on chest (Phos.). Short inspiration; short breathing when walking and when ascending stairs, with palpitation.

CACAREA CARB.
Chronic inflammation of larynx and bronchi and hoarseness, chronic cough. Extreme dyspnea on going up the slightest ascent (one of the most marked indications for the drug). Chronic inflammation of the larynx, especially in the upper part. Asthmatic attacks in children, from suppressed eruptions. Ulcers in the lungs, with purulent expectoration. Hemorrhage from the lungs. Calcarea is very frequently indicated in the general cachexia leading to various forms of consumption; the cough is usually troublesome at night and dry, with very free expectoration in the morning; the patient perspires easily and frequently has enormous appetite, though the emaciation is rapid.

CARBO VEGETABILIS.
Carbo veg. may also be used in asthma particularly in the asthma of old people and of people who are very much debilitated. They look, during the asthmatic attack, as if they would die, so oppressed are they for breath. They are greatly relieved by belching wind. It is especially indicated in asthma which is reflex from accumulation of flatus in the abdomen.

CHLORALUM HYDRATUM.
The paroxysms of spasmodic asthma may be arrested by it, and the spasmodic attacks of difficult breathing which accompany emphysema may be decidedly ameliorated by timely doses of Chloral.

CUPRUM ARS.
Bronchial asthma with emphysema.

To be continued.

GRINDELIA
Respiratory Organs. Fear of going to sleep on account of loss of breath which awakens him (S). On falling asleep respiratory movement ceases, and is not resumed until awakened by suffocation resulting. Humid asthma from catarrhal bronchitis. Cardiac asthma. Cough from reflex causes. Much tenacious mucus difficult to detach.

HEPER SULPH
Difficult respiration, preventing sleep at night; whistling, wheezing, with copious mucous expectoration; just as he has fallen asleep is aroused and startled by threatened suffocation; must get up to relieve dyspnea; agg. during day. Asthma after suppressed eruption of skin.

POTHOS
Pothos foetida is a remedy you should remember in asthma. It is useful for asthma that is worse from any inhalation of dust, as, for example, the inhalation of the dust in a hay-loft, and that is relieved by stool.

IPECAC.
SPASMODIC ASTHMA, WITH WEIGHT AND ANXIETY ABOUT THE CHEST; SUDDEN WHEEZING DYSPNEA, THREATENING SUFFOCATION; AGGRAVATED BY MOTION; THE COUGH CAUSES GAGGING AND VOMITING (D.). Hemoptysis: the blood is bright red and comes in gushes, with nausea and gagging (D.).

kali biVHROMICUM
You must also remember Kali bichromicum as a remedy indicated in asthma dependent upon bronchiectasia. The bronchial tubes are filled up with this tough tenacious exudation. But we find Kali bichromicum indicated in another form of asthma, which is worse from three to four o'clock in the morning, and is especially liable to return in the winter weather or in summer time, when chilly. The patient is compelled to sit up in bed in order to breathe. Relief comes when the patient raises stringy mucus. This kind of asthma calls for Kali bichromicum, whether the patient be stout or thin. If you have this after midnight aggravation and relief from sitting up and bending forward, and from the expectoration of stringy mucus, you have a certain remedy in Kali bichromicum. Here is it a perfect complement to Arsenicum, which has nearly the same symptoms, but lacks the tenacious sputum. The low potencies have been most successful
the treatment of asthma. The high potencies have not failed, but in all of the literature that I have been able to see, the low potencies have seemed to be the most successful. Whether this is true or not, I do not know. I only give you the facts as I find them, that you may judge for yourselves.

The potashes produce asthmatic conditions, and under Kali bichromicum we find the attacks coming on about three or four o'clock in the morning, compelling the patient to sit up to breathe; he sits up and bends forward which relieves somewhat, as does also the expectoration of stringy yellow mucus, which is characteristic of the remedy. It is similar to Arsenicum except for this feature of tenacious mucus. Kali carbonicum has asthma worse towards morning, with a feeling as if there were no air in the chest. Kali phosphoricum has been successfully used in asthma, especially in the nervous variety.

KALI CARB.

Asthmatic, hacking cough, in short but frequently repeated attacks, excited by tickling in throat and larynx. Dry, tickling cough, in evening and at night; with dislodgment early in morning and during day of tenacious mucus or yellow pus of a flat, sweetish or sour taste, which is not expectorated but swallowed. Spasmodic, early in morning, with retching and vomiting. Whooping cough, with inflammation of chest.

KALI MUR.
Cough day and night; asthmatic; barking; from deep breathing; croupy; dry; hacking; after eating; harsh; from irritation in larynx and trachea; loose; paroxysmal; racking; short; violent; whooping cough. Expectoration: morning; bloody; mucus; white; grey; milk-white; yellow.

KALI NITRICUM.
ONE OF THE VERY BEST REMEDIES, GENERALLY IN CASES OF ASTHMA (Ars., Kali-B., Lyc., Nat-S., Sulph.).

KALI SIL.
Difficult breathing; from exertion, while lying and when coughing; rattling in the chest; short, suffocative, whistling breathing; cough in daytime, morning, forenoon, evening and most severe and constant during the night; cough worse after eating, during fever, lying; the cough is asthmatic and suffocative, racking and spasmodic; dry cough during the night; hacking cough during the night; cough from irritation in larynx and trachea; cough from tickling in the larynx and trachea; the cough is violent, spasmodic and paroxysmal, like whooping cough.

KALI SULPH.
Bronchial asthma with yellow expectoration, worse in the warm season or in a hot atmosphere

LACHESIS.
.Again, you may find Lachesis of great service in affections of the lungs. We may use it in asthma when there are present one or more of these few symptoms. The patient arouses from sleep with the asthmatic paroxysm, and cannot bear the least pressure about the neck or chest; finally, he coughs up a quantity of watery phlegm with great relief. This last is a neglected characteristic of Lachesis in asthma. I have succeeded with it in relieving an incurable asthmatic for months.

LAUROCERASUS.
Chest. Slow, weak, anxious respiration. Rattling, stertorous respiration. Obstruction to respiration in region of stomach. Asthmatic respiration as if lungs were incapable of being sufficiently dilated, or as if they were paralyzed. Pressure on chest. Constriction of chest, with oppression. Burning and stitches in chest. In pulmonic affections, where the patient coughs and spits a great amount of phlegm, which is sprinkled over and through with distinct dots of blood; the dots may be close together, or considerably scattered (frequently seen following typhoid pneumonia). Affections of left chest. (The breast-scirrhus swells up suddenly, looks dark and angry, with shooting pains. R. T. C.)

LEMNA MINOR.
Asthma from nasal obstruction; worse in wet weather.

LOBILIA INFLATE.
Paroxysmal asthma, chronic, very distressing, often cured by Lobelia, and nearly always palliated. (Dose 5 to 10 drops every hour or two. )
Lobelia is a remedy which one usually classifies with Ipecac. It has the great oppression of the chest and a weal sensation in the chest which seems to come from the epigastrium, where there is a feeling of a lump; there is nausea, profuse salivation; the attack is preceded by a prickling sensation through the whole system. It is most useful in bronchial and septic asthmas. The breathing is exceedingly difficult, and is relieved by moving about. A pain extending around the forehead from one temple to the other and a pain in the back at the last dorsal vertebra are also useful indications. Arsenicum is quite similar to Ipecac in asthma, and attacks coming on after midnight lead to the use of this remedy. With Ipecac the expiration is especially difficult; vomiting when it occurs is apt to relieve the attack.

MEDORRHINUM.
ASTHMA, ONLY RELIEVED BY LYING OF THE FACE AND PROTRUDING THE TONGUE (A.).

MEPHITIS.
Asthmatic paroxysm at night on lying down, also sometimes waking him in morning; at 10 P. M. had to sit up in bed, got to sleep at 12 P. M., but was wakened by paroxysm exactly at daybreak; had to get up and walk about, whereby a slight cough was excited, the more he coughed the worse the breathing became, but each cough brought up a little transparent phlegm, like white of egg, with sourish taste; urine turbid on standing a few minutes, of fetid smell and depositing brick dust sediment; sensation during paroxysm as from inhaling fumes of sulphur, and a general oppression of front part of chest, especially behind upper part of sternum; amel. from ice water, wine, horseback riding. Asthma.

MEZEREUM.
'Much hoarseness, with a burning, dry feeling in the trachea; dry, racking cough. 'Hoarseness, with cough and rawness in the chest; when he has eaten anything, he must cough until he vomits.'-Dr. Link. 'The Mezereon cough is dry, with constricting pains across the chest; or stitching pains; rheumatic in nature, with much pain. 'Asthmatic constriction and oppression of the chest.'Dr. H.C. Allen.

NAJA.
Asthmatic constriction in evening, amel. mucous expectoration. Contractive pains. Hard pressure just above right nipple in afternoon. Tightness across upper part; with pain to right of sternum, just behind right rib, passing under sternum, the spot tender to touch. Uneasy aching in evening, agg. left side. Uneasiness in upper part; uneasiness about left after fasting. Tenderness over sternum. Heat in left, agg. two inches below middle of clavicle, after a moderate walk, with uneasiness and pain

NAPHTHALINUM.
.Respiratory Organs. Respiration: labored and irregular; asthmatic. Cough in incessant paroxysms almost arresting breath. Night cough preventing sleep. Cough with blue or purple face. Expectoration: free, thick, tenacious; almost absent. Cough in violent paroxysms compelling the patient to hold his head for the pain.

NATRUM SUL.
Natrum sulph. is also indicated in asthma which is excited or made worse by every spell of damp weather.
Useful in asthma, worse upon change to damp weather. Moist asthma, with a great deal of rattling on the chest. The shortness of breath is especially worse in damp weather (D.).
Grauvogl's hydrogenoid remedies. Its symptoms are moist asthma, with a great deal of rattling in the chest. The symptom of looseness of the bowels after each attack has been repeatedly verified; in one case the patient was worse from aerated waters and alcohol. If symptoms indicating a sycotic taint be present, it will be all the more strongly indicated. The attacks generally come on about 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning with cough and raising of glairy slime; expectoration greenish and copious. The asthma of hay fever finds one of its remedies in Natrum sulphuricum, and another in Sabadilla, especially if much sneezing be present.
Another condition is that of humid asthma. If a child has asthma, give Natrum sulphuricum as the first remedy. Asthma, when hereditary, is one of the sycotic complaints of Hahnemann. You will not find that in your textbooks, so do not look for it, but it may be an observation worth knowing. I have cured a very large number
.Mrs. E., a lady under my care the past year for chronic bronchitis and other troubles, was seized, on July 9th, with her third annual attack of hay fever-rose cold, or hay asthma, as you please-having contracted the same in Florida. She had formerly been entirely prostrated and forced to bed by these seizures, and dreads them much. Her husband came to me in the evening, a few hours after the sneezing and harsh breathing began, and begged of me to check it if possible. I learned from him that she could not lie down; her breathing was aggravated upon the least motion and accompanied by arching out between the scapulae. No other point could be elicited that would lead to the more ordinary medicines; indeed, all these had been tried by other physicians in former attacks. I had found . Natrum mur. to relieve her troubles greatly, and so gave Natrum sulph., with strong promise of relief. Nor were we disappointed; she fell asleep in an hour or so after beginning her half-hour doses, and in a few days all signs of asthma were gone. On July 18th no signs of asthmatic breathing could be heard over her lungs, whereas her former attacks had made her wholly miserable for weeks. (Wm. E. Leonard, M. D.)

NUX VOMICA.
The asthma of Nux vomica might well be termed dyspeptic asthma; for the gastric symptoms always predominate, and the asthma is of a dry, spasmodic nature, depending upon reflex excitability of the vagi. 'Nux vomica is most appropriate when there is coryza with sneezing, when the attacks come on after eating, or in the morning, and when the patient is subject to hemorrhoids."-Jousset..
Nux vomica is a useful remedy when the asthmatic attacks are brought on by gastric disturbances; simple spasmodic asthmas; there is some relief by belching; the patient must loosen the clothing. It must also be thought of in those who drink much coffee or liquor. Irritable bilious temperaments also correspond to the drug. Zingiber is also a remedy for asthma of gastric origin, and the attacks come on toward morning; the patient must sit up; no anxiety. A good symptom calling for Nux is a constricted feeling at the lower part of the chest. Where there is much abdominal irritation present with much flatulence, Lycopodium and Carbo vegetables should be thought of. Carbo vegetables also corresponds to the asthma of the aged who are much debilitated; they are greatly oppressed for breath and are relieved by belching wind.

SULPHUR.
There are innumerable cases on record where suppression of eczema brought about violent fits of asthma and the cure of asthma was brought by the restoration of the original asthma.
I know, indeed, of no remedy so frequently beneficial in chronic asthma.'-Hughes. 'Asthma arising from suppressed eruptions, especially itch; or from suppression of chronic discharges; periodical, spasmodic, stinging in the back; congestion to the chest; comes on in sleep, when turning over in bed, or in the evening.'-Farrington. 'Like the congestions and orgasms of the blood in the head, are the corresponding affections of the chest.

SUMBULUS MOSC.
Tightness, tensive, stretched feeling across chest, between left breast and sternum, and in left breast, worse on inspiration. [It corresponds to the symptoms of spasmodic and hysterical asthma. It is used as a 'patent medicine specific' for asthma, and with some popularity. A Dr. Weaver, in Investigator, says it works like a charm in asthma, and that it arrested the paroxysm in an 'old case.' I think it will prove useful in cardiac-asthma.---Hale.]

ZINCUM MET.
Further illustration of this action of Zinc will be found in the catarrhal asthma in which it is indicated. This asthma is accompanied by great constriction of the chest. (Cadmium sulph., Kali chlor. and Cactus g.), and is relieved as soon as the patient can expectorate, like Sepia, Antimonium tart. and Grindelia.

Thank you joe for your appreciation.I have no differences with you.You are serving humanity through homeopathy.I like it.

sajjad.

Dear,

6c or 30c,repeated twice daily is sufficient.George Royal was an allopath.He was suffering from some respiratory problem,a homeopath gave him Kali bichromicum in 3x potency and to his astonishment he got cured then he converted to homeopathy.
