After subduing the high febrile symptoms, if there remains cough, indicating much irritation, or inflammation of the lungs, _Macrotin_ should be used in place of Aconite, with _Phosphorus_ and _Copaiva_, the three in rotation, two hours between doses.
This is attended with distressing cough, profuse expectoration, oppressed breathing, pain in the forehead, and general catarrhal symptoms. _Baptisia_, _Copaiva_ and _Eupatorium arom._ given every hour, in rotation, will, in general, relieve from the acute affection in a short time; but the
requires the use of _Copaiva_, _Macrotin_ and _Arum triphyllum_, to be taken morning, noon, and night, in the order named; or, if the cough be severe, they should be used every three hours. These will be sufficient to effect a cure.
Generally, unless they arise from consumption, yield readily to the alternate use of _Copaiva_, _Phosphorus_ and _Macrotin_, a dose given once in from three to six hours. If, however, there is soreness of the throat, redness and soreness of the tonsils, palate, and fauces, or soreness of the larynx, with hoarseness, _Arum triphyllum_ and _Hydrastus Can._ are the surest remedies. They rarely ever fail of effecting a complete cure in a few days. They should be used three or four times a day. They may be used with the other medicines recommended for coughs. In acute
arising from sudden cold, _Arum triphyllum_ and _Eupatorium aromaticum_ are the remedies to be relied upon. If the tonsils seem to be mainly involved, constituting
_Belladonna_ and _Aconite_ should be given, while there is high fever, then substitute for them, _Arum tri._ and _Phosphorus_; or, these may be used in rotation with the former, a dose every hour or oftener.
This consists in inflammation of the muscular and peritoneal coats of the intestines, sometimes also involving the mucous coat.
The pain in the abdomen is constant, intense and burning in its character, felt most at the navel; the abdomen is extremely tender to pressure, and often bloated or tympanetic.
Thirst is intense, but cold drinks distress and vomit the patient. The pulse is small, feeble and frequent, and the bowels costive. This is a very dangerous disease. It is sometimes connected with inflammation of the stomach, then called gastro-enteritis. The tongue is then red and pointed, the nausea and vomiting are more violent and constant, the thirst burning and insatiable.
