Footnotes p. 268

† He suffered several days every morning, after having coughed several times during the night, from bleeding of the right nostril ; the blood was bright red and thin. Belladonna, which corresponded to the cough from a slight laryngeal inflammation, did nothing. Eupion 6, a dose in the evening when retiring, and another dose in the morning, removed the whole quickly, and Belladonna then acted well on the cough.—Dr. Held.

† A person who suffered for many years from these cramps was cured in a few days by a few doses of Eupion^®.
