    When the catarrh is accompanied by much heat in the eyes and head, and pain in the nose, give Bell. If the nose is entirely stopped up, Nux vom, or Ipec. When accompanied by cough, or when the cough remains after other medicines have been taken, and is dry, give Nux vom. If dry so as to excite vomiting, Ipec.; if it is hollow and causes vomiting, Carb. veg.; if with tough expectoration, particularly with children in winter, Cham.; if moist, Dulc. or Puls. ;* if the cough returns at every blast of cold air, give Phosph. acid ; if it returns every time that a foot or arm is exposed, when in bed, and is hollow and weakening, give Hep. When the cough is caused by cold air, is dry and con- vulsive with vomiting, or the expectoration is spotted or streaked with blood, if accompanied by a stitch in the side, or by head-ache, pain under the ribs ; if the cough is caused by a tickling in the throat, and the chest feels sore after it, and when the pulse is hard and quick, give Bry.; but when the pulse is not so hard, if there is soreness in the chest after or during the cough, and pain rather scalding than pungent, oppression of the chest, palpitation of the heart, give Carb. veg. When a catarrh has been checked by taking cold, give Pids. or Chin. When an eruption has been checked, give Ipec. every two hours, and if that does not avail, give Bry. once or twice ; if this does not reheve, give Puls. When a cold produces difficulty of breathing, as if the patient were suffocating, &c., give Ipec., if neces- sary, every hour or half hour. If this fails, give Ars. every hour irntd the patient is better. Sometimes the other remedies prescribed for oppression of the chest are preferable. When immediately after catching cold diarrhoea appears, give Op. If this does no good, or if the diarrhoea does not appear for a day or so after, and it is attended with pain in the bowels, or other symptoms, give Dulc. * See other Medicines for Cough.
