;
it is a sort of continuous, intolerably hard pressure in the pit of

increasing in violence up to the pit of the throat, where the
breathing threatens to be arrested (this
condition was soon relieved by the hands being imposed on the chest
with a strong will-a sort of self-mesmerism),
the spasm abated, and rest and sleep were restored by a strong but

sweat all over.Momentary violent turns of cough
;
three or four.Racking and spasmodic cough while falling asleep, hindering sleep.
Suffocative, spasmodic cough about midnight.
The desire to cough is seated in the finest and most remote
bronchial ramifications, where nothing can be got loose by the cough;
the mucus which is thrown off is secreted in a higher region, the
titilation remaining the same, inasmuch as it has its seat lower down ;
hence the cough is very fatiguing and racking ;
even the head is concussed, and the whole body becomes warm, after
which a general exhalation sets in until morning, when the cough
abates.Unceasing
(not
titillating)
irritation, inducing coughing, in the evening, in bed, immediately
after lying down, the cough being short and dry ;
the irritation is not momentarily diminished by the cough, as is the
