As long as any considerable febrile heat, quick- ness, and hardness of pulse is present in haemoptysis, such cooling aperients, as are presented in the three preceding formulas, will be found to be more beneficial than the acidu- lated infusion of rose leaves, which is commonly given in such cases. They are not only more efficacious in putting a stop to the haemorrhagy, but in preventing the inflammation which but too commonly follows the injury which has taken place. But when the febrile heat and quickness of pulse are subdued, such cooling purges, if too long continued, are very apt to bring on too much atony in the stomach and intestines, giving birth to cramp, colic, and flatulency. 20.
