Warm salt-water (one drachm to the pint) is admirablysuited to the purpose. The addition to it of bichloride of mer-cury (one grain to the pint) or of borax (one or two drachmsto the pint) or of salicylic acid (four grains to the pint) is re-garded as an improvement by some. The fluid should be thrown with force enough to make itflow out, partly by the other nostril and partly by the throat,if the passages are pervious. If they are not so, more forcibleinjections may be employed, and these, with a little persever-ance, will usually succeed. Undesirable as these may seem,the removal of the obstructing mass should be regarded asimperative. Tearing away or boring through the membraneshould not be resorted to on account of the great danger ofits causing epistaxis.
