The following remedial agents are recommended by variousobservers for local use in chronic fetid coryza: In vapor:—Carbonic acid ; creasote (3-15 minims on boilingwater, or undiluted at ordinary temperatures, or rubbed upwith a little carbonate of magnesium in six parts of water, ateaspoon!ul in a pint of warm water, at 150°, from any inhaler);carbolic acid (1-5 grains, with 2-10 drops of alcohol, in adrachm of water, thrown in a pint of warm water ; or a fewdrops of the concentrated acid on cotton, in the bottom of aninhaler, at ordinary temperatures); camphor (a quill, or othertube, filled with coarse powder, secured by light cotton orwoollen wads); mercury (cigarettes made of blot
