Dr. West, of London, author of a valuable treatise on the diseases of childhood, says, " that the acid sometimes exerts an almost magical influence on the cough, diminishing the frequency and severity of its paroxysms almost immediately, while, in other cases, it seems perfectly inert ; and again in others, without at all diminishing the severity of the cough, it exerts its peculiar poisonous action on the system so as to render its discontinuance advisable.

In about half an hour more, the pulse is found to be diminished in strength ; and in another hour, both the pulse and the respiration have become less frequent.
