If the patient suffers much from severe sore pain in the head, aggravated by coughing, or from nervous restlessness, the addition of bromide of potassium, 16 grams (drachm iv), to the above formula will render it more efficient in relieving these symptoms and in promoting rest. Under such quieting and expectorant influences, aided by a mild laxative when needed, the cough, soreness, and oppression in the chest, and all other active symptoms, diminish from day to day, and convalescence ensues in from seven to nine days. If after the first three or four days the temperature rises in the evening and the cough becomes more troublesome, interfering with rest during the first part of the night, followed by some sweating in the early morning, a single dose composed of sulphate of quinia from 3 to 6 decigrams (gr. v-x), pulverized sanguinaria-root 3 centigrams (gr. ½), and codeine 16 milligrams (gr. ¼) given between six and eight o'clock each evening for three or four evenings, will often contribute to the rest of the patient and hasten the establishment of convalescence. Cases are sometimes met with, especially in patients debilitated by previous ill-health or age, in which the fever subsides after the first three or four days, leaving the patient with a feeling of unusual weakness, a deep harassing cough, copious muco-purulent expectoration, and little or no appetite. In such cases tonics and the more stimulating class of expectorants are indicated. A mixture of equal parts of the syrup of Prunus virginiana, syrup of senega, and camphorated tincture of opium, given in doses of 4 cubic centimeters or one teaspoonful every four or six hours, and 13 centigrams (gr. ij) of quinia three times a day, will often cause a rapid improvement in all the symptoms. In some of the cases last described there is added to the other symptoms a troublesome nausea and disposition to vomit with the paroxysms of coughing, in which I have found the following formula a good substitute for the mixture containing the prunus virginiana and senega: No. 3. Rx. Acidi carbolici, (0.50 grams) gr. viij; Glycerinæ, (30.0 c.c.) fluidounce j; Tincturæ opii camphoratæ, (60.0 c.c.) fluidounce ij; Aquæ, (60.0 c.c.) fluidounce ij. {180} M.--Sig. Give 4 cubic centimeters (fluidrachm j) or 1 teaspoonful before each mealtime and at bedtime, giving the quinia a little after the meals.
