I have not had much opportunity to use this medicine very frequently except in a couple of cases of aphonia - one a case of a radio artist (singer) and the other a Professor of chemistry. The medicine seems to chiefly exhibit its symptoms in the mind and respiratory sphere, where the effects are unique. The above chemistry professor indeed had ulceration of the vocal chords probably due to exposure to chalk dust which he inhaled - an unavoidable occupational risk.
