Use it for thick, white discharges giving rise to catarrhs affecting the skin and mucous membranes.
Will help grayish adherent secretions, eruptive fever with itching and desquamation, chronic affections of the respiratory tract, chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia.
In acute conditions, use it for coughs, colds, sore throats, and tonsillitis.
