It was not the first time this \nhad happened to her and she protested, but in vain, against the doctor's order. If a linseed poultice even come \nnear her she felt constriction of the chest. \nThe doctor who ordered the poultice and reported the case, was speedily summoned to witness the worst \nattack of asthma he had ever seen. The pati ent was livid and struggling for breath. When the poultice was \nremoved the symptoms gradually subsided. A crop of herpes appeared where the poultice had been and an \neruption of urticaria over back, chest and arms. \nDr. A. G. Towner related his own experi ences, noting that when he lived in New York state he could handle \n \n \nlinseed in all forms freely, but after moving to Illinois, it \naffected him powerfully. \nOnce he rubbed his eye while preparing a poultice; intense conjunctivitis came on at once, chemosis, and  in \nan hour the eye was closed and did not come right again for three days. The irritation passed along the \nlachrymal duct and the same burning and irritation took place in the nose, nearly driving him wild.  \nThe swelling closed the nostrils and he had to b reathe through his mouth. The irritation still spread, affecting \nthe throat, which was covered with large white blisters and a desperate attack of bronchial asthma supervened, \nslightly relieved by large doses of Ip. \nIn two hours, the skin became affected w ith an attack of \u201chives\u201d (urticaria). \u201cI was one complete blotch from \nthe crown of my head to the end of my toes, a complete bodily eruption, smart, sting, burn.\u201d He had five of \nthese attacks. \nThe steam of a poultice would cause coryza, the dust would occasion a complete attack. One was caused by \ninadvertently eating a lozenge containing linseed. \nAn entirely different set of symptoms was recorded by Allen in which a girl, 19, drank a cupful of milk into which \nshe had poured by mistake some spoonfuls of linseed oil. Immediately she felt a fullness in her stom ach and \nprecordial uneasiness. She vomited profusely and had copious stools. She went to bed, where she was seized \nwith spasms. \nHead shook spasmodically in measured time, the eyes and prominent tempo ral muscles jerked rapidly. Jaws \nclenched. Tongue paralyzed and drawn down into throat. All the time the brain was quite clear.  \nA clyster of Asaf, gave temporary relief, but the symptoms recurred for a time with renewed violence.
