Excerpt from Quarterly Homoeopathic Journal, Vol. 1 About ten years ago, Dr. Koch was induced to publish the results of Iod. In croup. As I could not, according to my own observations, acknowledge Iod., as Koch at that time believed, to be in all cases the only applicable remedy, I thought it necessary that the circumstances should be mentioned under which other remedies are required. While I had this only in view at the beginning, I soon found that the indications to be given could not be made clear without a consideration of the pathology of croup: to treat of this, therefore, in advance, appeared indispensably necessary. May this first attempt at a pathologic-therapeutical essay based upon individual experience, and adapted, as I believe, to the wants of homeopathy, meet with a favorable recep tion by the reader! Before we enter upon the description of croup itself, it may be advisable to give a. Short historical sketch of this disease from its origin.
