Example Sentences
Thus Martial: Leniat ut fauces medicus, quas aspera vexat Assiduè tussis, Parthenopæ tibi Mella dari, nucleosque jubet dulcesque placentas.
Est quidquid pueros non sinit esse truces, At tu non cessas totis tussire diebus Non est hæc tussis, Parthenopæ gula est.
Tussis consumptiva Scorbutus et elii morbi radix.
Note, however, in passing, that Schoepf says nothing, save tussis, that suggests the vis anti-spasmodica of Cutler.
Vis, buris, sitis, tussis, cucumis, amussis, cannabis, sinapis—these words, which have attracted so much attention in the world, effected this, because they belonged to a determined class, and yet were exceptions; on that account I value them highly, and the fact that I have them ready at my finger's ends when I perhaps need them in a hurry affords me in many dark hours of life much internal tranquillity and consolation.
