According to Wikipedia, theobromine is an effective antitussive.  This is good:

1. Antitussives stop those little annoying coughs allowing enough cough to build for a good productive phlegm-clearer.
2. Theobromine is found in chocolate.
3. Theobromine is found more in dark chocolate, such that about 50g has an effective dose.

This means that the stick of Bournville I just scarfed is medicine.  Clearly, Green & Black's would be better, but you take what's availaible.

The office, which is a hack-bed of lungbutter right now, is investigating this potential palliative with great enthusiasm.
