Paulinum30, because of its great virtue, is called the great antidote, i.e. the great composite medicine. It relieves effectively fresh cough and chronic cough caused by the flow of the phlegmatic humor from the head to the chest. For that reason it relieves chest complaints caused by phlegmatic humor. It rids the head, chest and stomach of phlegmatic humor primarily, and of melancholia secondarily. Its dosage is two drams.
