Case: a woman of 21 years noticed from her youth that her respirations were more infrequent than those of others, and that the inspiration was much too long compared with the expiration; her thorax rigid, even during inspiration, and the respirations were 10 to 12 per minute; every 5 or 6 minutes there would be a deep sighing inspiration, and every few days an attack of great dyspnoea; she could only find relief from violent movements of both arms, and of the upper portion of the body; besides these attacks there followed every long inspiration such a difficult expiration that she continually suffered from the sensation of anxiety, as if she could not dispose of the inspired air; she was cured within a year by the use of Naphthalin.

except the apex of the right lung, which remained dull, on percussion. (Dr. Eidhen, Neue Zeitsch. f. Hom. Klin. 4, p. 190, quoted by Dr. Karl Hencke, A. H. Z. 93, p. 199.)

Pleurisy. The use of Bry Canth, and Lach. Pneumonia and pleurisy cannot coexist. (Jousset, Soc. Med., France, May, 1886, p. 11.)

Left side, with large effusion extending to the axilla; bronchial breathing in posterior portion of lung; after taking Bryonia for several days, was a little better in general; then there occurred increasing weakness and much sweat at night. Tinc. tura Cupri acetici Rademacheri drops v every 3 hours. (Dr. Sorge, A. H. Z., 92, p. 125.)

Young man of 17, who was subject to palpitation of the heart and nose bleed, had pleurisy on left side; at the same time there was a violent congestion of blood to the head; exudation ensued in the pleural cavity, which gradually increased till it reached the second rib; the heart was greatly displaced; the increase of fluid continued in spite of the use of Aconite, Bryonia, Merc. soluble; there was but little

fever, pulse from 90 to 100. Then Hepar 3 was given for 6 days with no result; the symptoms were few; no violent stitches, no debilitating sweats, no great vascular excitement, no special thirst, no bronchitis nor oedema of the lungs; only the abundant exudation. Sulphuric acid, 2d or 3d, was next given; the accumulation in the pleural cavity began to lessen, and in about 14 days was almost gone. During this time a violent palpitation of the hear* set in, for which Arsenicum was given; while he was taking this remedy the remainder of the exudation disappeared, but the Arsenicum did not help the palpitation of the heart. Aconite palliated it, but it was not till Sulph. acid was again given, that the palpitation ceased. (A. H. Z., 92, p. 5, Sybel.)

- Pulse quick; cough short and oppressing; anxious feeling in the centre of the chest, beside severe stitches in the side; expectoration frothy and chocolate colored; urine dark and acid. Cured by Copper. (Rademacher quoted by W. Sorge, A, H. Z. 92, p. 125.)

Exudation.

Woman of 30 years-left pleura' cavity contained a large amount of fluid; a very small quantity of albumen in the urine. Exudation disappeared in about 3 weeks under the use of Sulphuric acid every few hours. (A. H. Z., 92, p. 20, Dr. Sybel.)

Method of instantaneously arresting palpitation of. J. Landier directs his patients suffering from this trouble to bend the body, the head down, and the arms hanging so as to momentarily cause congestion of the upper part of the body. In all cases of nervous or anæmic palpitation the heart quickly resumed its normal action. If, while in the above described position, respiration is arrested for a few seconds only, the relief afforded is still more speedy. (O. M. and S. R., March, 1876, p. 105.)

Palpitation of. When not depending upon organic disease may be almost immediately arrested by bending the head downward and allowing the arms to hang pendent. The effect is even more rapidly produced by holding the breath for a few seconds while the body is in this bent position. (H. W., vol. XI., p. 238.)

Fatty disease of. (Geo. Lade, H. W., vol. XI., p. 7.)

Aconite 2 lessened the respiratory difficulty and allayed the severe palpitation, but the effect was not lasting. Arsen. 4 helped greatly for over six months; the blowing murmur disappeared, and the first heart's sound became normal; edema of feet went away; she finally got worse, and died in the hospital. (W. Huber, Zeitschrift d. Vereins Hom. Aerzte Oesterreichs, 1, 551, quoted by Karl Hencke, A. H. Z. 93, p. 101.)
