930. Treatment of Ailments by Homoeopathy. Great stress is laid by homeopathists on attention to diet, but not so much so in the present day as when the system was first introduced. The reader will find a list of articles of food that may and may not be taken in par. 961. For complete direction on this point, and on diseases and their treatment and remedies, he must be referred to works on this subject by Dr. Richard Epps and others. All that can be done here is to give briefly a few of the more common ailments "that flesh is heir to," with the symptoms by which they are indicated, and the medicines by which they may be alleviated and eventually cured. 931. Asthma Asthma, an ailment which should be referred in all cases to the medical practitioner. Symptoms. Difficulty of breathing, with cough, either spasmodic and without expectoration, or accompanied with much expectoration. Medicines. Aconitum napellus, especially with congestion or slight spitting of blood; Antimonium tartaricum for wheezing and rattling in the chest; Arsenicum for chronic asthma; ipecacuanha; Nux vomica. 932. Bilious Attacks Bilious attacks, if attended with diarrhoea and copious evacuations of a bright yellow colour. Medicines. Bryonia, if arising from sedentary occupations, or from eating and drinking too freely; or Nux vomica and Mercurius in alternation, the former correcting constipation and the latter nausea, fulness at the pit of the stomach, and a foul tongue. 933. Bronchitis. Symptoms. Catarrh accompanied with fever, expectoration dark, thick, and sometimes streaked with blood; urine dark, thick, and scanty.
