Inhalations.—Medicated steam inhalations used through the nose aresometimes serviceable, although seldom so beneficial as in the case of in-flammation of the throat. Most of the inhalers already described (see , pp. 182, 184) are provided with a special nozzle adapted for nasal in-halation, but the best instrument for the purpose is one lately devised byDr. This consists of a vulcanite mould of the tip and alee ofthe nose, from the upper surface of which project two hollow conical piecesfor insertion into the nostrils, while to the under part is attached a cylin-drical chamber which, by means of india-rubber tubing, can be made tocommunicate with an inhaler. The patient can, however, use this form ofmedication without any apparatus whatever, by inhaling through the mouthand forcing the vapor back through the posterior nares, as is often doneby tobacco-smokers. Syringes.—For the injection of fluid through the anterior nares an. Fig. 48.—Dr. Solis-Cohens Post-nasal Syringe. ordinary straight glass or vulcanite syringe will serve perfectly, but forcleansing the posterior nares Solis-Cohens instrument, which has a suitablecurved nozzle (Fig. 48), will be found most useful. The point is perforatedwith many small holes like a rose, so that the fluid is thrown out in alldirections. Cutting Instruments, Forcejis, etc.—For cuttting away vegetations or
