During the three weeks preceding his application to me, he had been labouring under an attack of influenza, which had added to the above ailments a cough, hoarseness of voice, and shortness of breath on making any exertion. I prescribed Bryonia of the 6th dilution; a Pilule to be taken night and morning for ten days, with in¬ structions to eat more food than he had hitherto allowed himself.
