Those who have a confirmed Asthma, should form the Balsam into a syrup, by mixing with it about an equal quantity of fine honey, (having previously dissolved it by heat, and removed the wax and impurities which arise to its surface,) and, when thus incorporated, taking a dessert spoonful, or two tea-spoonsful, night and morning; and, in some cases, once or twice throughout the day. The paroxysms will speedily terminate, after short perseverance in the use of these means; and, by bringing on a free expectoration, every asthmatic sensation will speedily disappear. When taken in the day-time, it effectually keeps off the evening exacerbation or paroxysm. In cases of winter or irritable cough, arising from an increased excitement of the bronchial nerves, and a certain state of the atmosphere, it is also a most valuable remedy. The Elixir more speedily and permanently allays morbid irritation, or increased excitement of the nerves of the larynx, wind-pipe, and lungs, than any other known remedy. The only difference between a winter Cough and Asthma is, that the seat of the former is in the membrane lining the bronchial tube, while the latter is in the membrane of the larynx, and upper part of the wind-pipe. For those who have an Asthma, the attacks of which are periodical, and the fits regular, this Balsam will be highly useful. The fits of this species of the disease come on about every ten days; they are more violent, and last longer in summer than in winter; and the symptoms are highly aggravated by intemperance and irregularity. These fits are certainly rendered much more tolerable, and are slighter when expectoration comes on. The Balsam should therefore be regularly taken in such doses as to produce this: and the approach of the fits should be carefully watched, that the remedy may be taken in sufficient doses prior to the commencement. If the patient feel a tightness about the pit of the stomach shortly after dinner, it is a certain indication that an attack will shortly ensue; in which case, one or two tea spoonsful of the Balsam should be immediately taken, mixed in a similar quantity of honey, or, in absence of honey, lump sugar: he should remain quite still, in an erect posture; and in about half an hour afterwards renew the dose. When the stomach is swelled, and the patient is flatulent, it is an infallible sign that the fit is gaining strength, and a tightness of the chest and lungs will follow. About once in two hours half a spoonful, or more, of the Balsam must be taken for three times more; when the patient should be put to bed, and lie with his head high. The fit often comes on with violence about two o’clock in the morning: the invalid retires to rest fatigued, and inclined to sleep; and, after exhibiting sensations of uneasy restlessness, he falls asleep, and is harassed by uneasy and embarrassed dreams; startings in his sleep, and other nervous symptoms
