This sterilized solution, by means of an ingeniously con-trived miniature spray apparatus, can be directed in the formof a very fine cloud upon the part desired direct from the hypo-dermule itself without contact with external or decomposinginfluences, as shown in the accompanying sketch. The valuable styptic properties of supra-renal solution haverecently brought it very prominently to the front, but owing to therapidity with which solutions freshly prepared decompose on contactwith the air, its usefulness has to a great extent been Attempts to overcome this tendency to decomposition by theaddition of one or other antiseptic have been made with varyingsuccess, but the addition of a preservative is not in all cases desirable. It is acknowledged that suprarenal gland substance acts in itsmost perfect manner when presented in the form of a solution freshlymade, without the addition of any extraneous substance. Hypo-dermules of suprarenal gland solution are, therefore, offered as ameans of overcoming an acknowledged drawback to the more extendeduse of a most valuable remedy, and will probably be found an efficientmethod of using suprarenal gland solution in hay fever, and otherforms of nasal catarrh, as well as in nasal operations.
