Dr. H.C. Allen relates the following interesting case: “During a maneuver in the army in 1885, Dr. V. got wet by a heavy rain coming into the tent during a whole night. From this he got a hacking cough, on rising in the morning and in the open air. It sounded as if he was calling someone, and people would turn and look at him with angry eyes. His throat was thoroughly examined by a specialist, but nothing was found. In 1901, after 16 years of coughing, he consulted Dr. Ide, one of the greatest homoeopathic physicians. He ordered the doctor to take one dose of Medorrhinum, and await the result. On reaching home he took the dose, and next morning had no cough, nor did he cough afterwards, even in the open air. As an officer he had had a gonorrhoea, of which he could not rid himself. From this he always had an unpleasant feeling and burning pain. This all vanished like magic”.
