hours a pasty stool, which is repeated three times in the afternoon, becoming very thin; a
slight hacking cough remains for several days, [9]. ► If a large quantity is inspired it causes severe oppression

► Swelling of the mammary glands, [1]. ► Congestion to the chest, [11]. ► Peculiar
sensation of weakness and exhaustion in the chest, [11].
[560.] ► The pain in
the chest continues; is especially noticed when coughing, [18].
► Pain under the ribs, especially on pressure, more in
the right side, [18]. ►
Burning in the chest, with subsequent sensation of heat, only gradually disappearing, with
ineffectual efforts to vomit, [11]. ► Tension in the chest, [1].
► Slight feeling of fulness in the chest and throat,
increasing towards noon, continuing till evening, and feeling as if a soft substance were
between the lungs and the breast-bone (from 6th), [2].
► A sensation of constriction of the chest impedes
respiration and is very unpleasant, with a dry tickling cough the whole of the first day and
the following days, lasting only an hour (from 1st), [2].
► Paralytic drawing pain through the chest and toward the
shoulder-blade and arm (left), [3]. ► Feeling of anxiety in the chest, with difficult breathing, [18]. ► Pressure from the

times in the upper part of the chest, with oppressed breathing soon after taking, [19]. ► Severe
oppression, cough, headache, and vertigo (from the fumes), [2].
► Sticking pain here and there in the walls of the chest,
uninfluenced by breathing, [20]. ►
Stitches in the upper part of the chest, with difficult breathing and sensation of
distension (first day), [19]. ►
Sides and Sternum.
► Pain in the right lung
(from 3d), [3]. ► A

especially on motion, [19]. ►
Constant pain in the right side beneath the ribs, especially on somewhat deep pressure
(after seven hours), [19]. ►
The pain in the right side of the chest increased very much toward evening; lifting a light
weight with the right hand increased the pain, so also walking, on account of the increased
motion of the pectoral muscles; at times the pain extends to the dorsal muscles of the same
side, and then is also increased by expiration; this continues until he falls asleep; it
awakens him at night in turning the body; continues equally severe the next morning; only
disappears after five days; it is especially severe in the morning and evening; worse when
moving the thorax; less when walking than when sitting; especially severe on waking; rest is
almost impossible, [18]. ►
The pain on the right side under the ribs still continues, though not so severe all the
time; it is aggravated by pressure on the sixth day; this same pain continues the following
days, sometimes so violent that even breathing becomes painful; the abdomen is therewith
distended with gas; a stooping posture and moderate pressure relieve the pain, which seems
to be in the region of the gall-bladder, and which, on deep breathing, extends to the navel;
also, however deep, when fasting, the pain is not noticed; it seems to be most severe two
hours after eating, [19]. ►

► Pressive pain in the right lung (from 8th), [3]. ► Pressure in the
wall of the chest below the right nipple, [21]. ► A sensation in several places in the right wall of the chest,
as if it were pressed from within outward; not increased by breathing, but by motion of the
thorax; at 6 P.M., and several times repeated during the evening (first day), [21]. ► Sticking in the right side
of the chest beneath the fourth rib, with palpitation (from 7th), [3]. ► Sharp stitches in the right
side of the chest
, especially when walking rapidly, [1]. [590.] ►

second day), [3]. ►
A tickling spot in the region of the right eighth rib (from 8th), [3]. ► Transient pain in the left
chest, [3]. ► Very
transient pain in the left lung (from 8th), [3]. ► Wandering pains in the left side of the chest uninfluenced by
breathing; afterwards these pains extend to the right side of the chest, where they become
pressive; they then leave the left side and continue in the right side for three days; they
appear immediately on walking, are neither increased by breathing nor by motion, only
aggravated by bending both shoulders forward, with slight flexion of the upper part of the
chest, or by turning the thorax on its axis, whence the pain seems to be in the muscles of
this region, [18]. ►
Severe pain on the left side under the ribs, several times; it quickly disappears; on the
night of the sixth day the same pain extends higher up, and is somewhat more violent; worse
when lying bent; not increased by breathing, [19]. ► Pain in the left side of the chest by the fourth rib, and
tickling in the right side of the head (from 7th), [3].

towards the arm, [6]. ►
Transient stitches in the left side below the ribs, [19].
► Pressure in the sternum, [21].

heart in the evening, so that she cannot lie upon the left side, [3]. ► Palpitation when walking,
without cause (second day), [18]. [610.] ► Slight oppression
around the heart and palpitation, at the same time the inspired air seems very cold, with
tendency to yawn (from 3d), [3]. ►
Pulse rather slow and hard during the two provings with large daily doses, [9]. ► Pulse very full, not
accelerated, [10]. ►
Pulse more frequent, [18]. ►
Full, hard, at first slow, afterwards accelerated pulse, [11].
