Whooping-Cough: Atropine, 527, is a good remedy when secretion is profuse, and in the spasmodic stage; decided physiological effects should be produced to have any curative action. Hyos-cine, 540, Bromides, 656, give relief to the spasmodic condition—to the whoop—but Bromoform, 659, is more decidedly curative. Monobromated Camphor, 512, seems to be quite useful. Hydrobromic Ether, 595, subcutaneously, by stomach, or by inhalation. The Urethan group, 588, are safe and effective antispasmodics. Hypnone, 590, Methylal, 585, Paraldehyde, 584, and Pyridine, 417, act similarly. Bromoform, 659, and its congeners, 661, have special utility. Chloral, 617, is very useful at any stage, but is most serviceable during the spasmodic. Castanea, 344, a decoction of the leaves, may be taken at pleasure, and with certainty of some, although not marked, benefit. Nitric Acid, 118, sometimes benefits exceedingly, but is uncertain. Alum, 336, especially when there is a copious bronchial secretion. Lobelia, 656, when it acts as a nauseant, is most beneficial. Carbolic Acid, 379, by inhalation, seems to be a very valuable remedy. Sodium Benzoate, 424, internally and by spray, is reported to be very serviceable. To these may be added Salicylates, Resorcin, Antipyrin, Acetanilid, and other antiseptics, 387 et seq. Lactucarium, 647, the sirup, is a useful vehicle for the exhibition of other medicines. Asafoztida, 551, a disagreeable but useful remedy, may be given freely to infants and young children. Hydrocyanic Acid, 701, may be given during the spasm stage, but it is most efficacious as a remedy for the cough kept up by habit after the subsidence of the disease, and the cough by imitation.
