ASTHMA CASES [Asthma Cases]

      A gentleman in whom attacks of asthma were frequently lasting ten days, with much labored breathing, can hardly talk, thick yellow expectoration with much rattling on chest.- Kali sulph. 3x relieved at once. (M.E. Douglas, M.D).

Female, married, aet. 36, asthma, attack violent, greenish, purulent expectoration, a loose evacuation immediately on rising for past two days; Natrum sulph500. every two hours. Was enabled to lie down that night, respiration and cough much improved and expectoration easier. Next days practically well.

Female, married, aet. 42, subject to attacks for years; expectoration greenish and remarkably copious; Natrum sulph. every three hours. Improvement began after a few doses, expectoration becoming paler and less abundant, has felt better since than for years, and one noteworthy fact is that the expectoration stopped in a few doses, whereas under remedies given in previous attacks it had continued for weeks, thus indicating that the Natrum sulph. had gotten at the root of the evil. (Wm. J. Guernsey, M.D.).

Dr. O. H. Hall, of Zumbrota, Minn, reports a remarkable case of asthma having passed “through the hands of all the physicians of whom he had ever heard,” cured by Kali phos. 2x. Eighteen months had passed at time of writing without an attack. Minn. Medorrhinum Monthly, Nov., 1886.

Mr. C. has for years had attacks of asthmatic breathing, so marked as to herald his approach at some distance, and coming on after any unusual exertion. He is a tall, strong man, with no family history of lung trouble, albeit rather narrow- chested. Examination of the lungs during a period of remission disclosed no lesion or abnormal sounds, except coarse rales along the larger bronchi. In April, 1887, an especially severe attack, brought on by severe physical exertion, “the worst spell” he has ever had, was promptly relieved by Natrum sulph 200., and occasional doses since have caused the attacks to disappear almost entirely for the first time in many summers. (Wm. E. Leonard, M.D).

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 sulph200., 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).
