Pharyngitis; sloughing of tonsils; foul breath; small glandular swellings around the neck. The girl had measles five months ago, and has been coughing ever since. Respiratory mur- mur tolerably normal over right lung; no dull percussion sound; oc- casionally a mucous rale. Lower lobe of left lung equally normal; over the upper lobe, left lung, dull percussion sound, and mucous rales in the bronchi; little action of the inspiratory muscles.

Took afterwards, for a week, tinct. muriat. ferri, 12 drops every
