XXXI CREASOTE IN THE TREATMENT OF PHTHISIS PULMONALIS Published in the " New York Medical Journal " for December 8, 1888. In the summer of 1888, on entering upon my service in Bellevue Hospital, I noticed a number of patients in the wards of the third division wearing what are known as " perforated-zinc ; For several weeks these patients had been treated with inhalations of creasote by a method suggested by Dr. Beverley Robinson. The improvement noted in these cases was so considerable that I directed the treatment to be employed in all the cases of phthisis pulmonalis in the male wards, with the exception of a very few in the last stages of the disease. A considerable num- ber of cases did not remain un- der observation as long as two weeks. These cases are not re- ported. In the ten cases reported from the records, the treatment was followed for two or more weeks. In addi- tion to the inhalations in all the cases reported, creasote was also administered by the stomach, and in some cases other remedies were employed. The perforated-zinc inhaler is slightly modified by Dr. Beverley Robinson from an inhaler originally made by Squire, of London. Its simplicity and the ease and com- fort with which it can be worn suggest its use in many dis- eases in which inhalations are of benefit. The following description of the inhalers is quoted from Dr. Robinson: 158.
