[739, 751, 755, and the preceding symptoms of dry cough seem to be an alternate action with the symptoms of cough, with much expectoration (754, 759, 760, 761, 763); these latter seem to be the most characteristic, so that patients in whom the other symptoms correspond to Pulsatilla, are more easily and permanently relieved, if the cough is accompanied by much expectoration, than when the cough is dry. In 756 the chief alternate action of much expectoration, occurring only after dry cough, is unusual. -Hahnemann.]

The symptoms of Pulsatilla caused by assuming the horizontal position, by sitting up, by rising after sitting, by walking and by standing, consist of varying alternate conditions, all of which belong to the primary action of the drug, but which vary in their character. Usually the symptoms of Pulsatilla, which occur while lying still upon the back, are relieved by sitting upright, seldom the reverse; frequently the symptoms that appear while sitting still are relieved or removed by gradual motion and by walking, seldom the reverse. Yet the act of rising, before one begins to walk, usually gives rise to symptoms more numerous and more severe, the longer the sitting has continued, so also longer continued and more violent motion causes aggravation no less than long sitting still, which, however, are only really felt and noticed after one has again sat down and become quiet. Those alternate actions, which a drug most frequently causes, and which are most violent and most peculiar, are of the most assistance in the homœopathic cure of disease. -Hahnemann.]
