CANNABIS
INDICA IN CHOREA AND PERTUSSIS
Early this year I was called to see a (to me) record case
of chorea. The patient, a bright
girl aged eleven years, was suffering with her third attack in five years.
I tried increasing doses of Fewler's Solution, with apparent Success, but
in a fortnight she was frightened by a steam fire engine dashing past the house
at night, and the next morning I found her flinging her arms and legs about with
such violence that they were, severely bruised against the back and legs of the
couch on which she lay. Fearing
death from exhaustion I put her on opium, of which it required from three to
four grains a day to control the muscles. Then
the appetite failed, and she had in addition a severe attack of toothache,
necessitating the removal of an upper molar under gas, which was only
administered with great difficulty. This
operation again intensified the movements, and I resorted to Indian hemp, giving
her seven and one-half minims of the tincture, made from Parke,
Davis & Co.'s fluid extract, every four hours.
The effect was magical. Next
morning she was lying composed on the couch, looking perfectly happy, with only
slight muscular twitching, and appetite improving. In three weeks she could dress and feed herself without much
assistance, and has now been for over two months strong and well.
While attending this case I was called to one of pertussis
in a boy, aged twenty-two months. The
cough was almost incessant and accompanied by vomiting.
I gave him two minims of the tincture of cannabis
indica every three hours. The
next day I was told he had a very good night, coughing
only three times. On the
third day the cough had almost ceased, and by the end of a week had disappeared. In a second case shortly after, that of a girl aged five
years, I gave five-minim doses every four hours.
After the second four-ounce mixture had been finished the mother told me
the girl only coughed slightly about once a day. She took no more medicine and is quite well.
In all three cases the following points were noticeable: (1) direct
relief to spasm; (2) absence of any head symptoms; and (3) non-interference with
appetite or digestion. I may add that only a little chloroform water was added to
the tincture to conceal the slightly unpleasant taste, and that the mixture was
well taken in each case.-Lancet.
