Excerpt from Inhalation of Atomized Fluids; Treatment of Chronic Diseases of the Lungs, by the Inhalation of Atomized Fluids; A New Mode of Treating Diseases of the Cavity of the Nose

Of the fluids to be employed for deodorieing the nasal cavity.' For this pur pose I have employed dilute solutions of permanganate of potash. This agent has done me such excellent service in removing the fetor of the mouth in cases of typhoid fever, that I was induced to apply it for the removal of the fetor of ozaena, and with the most st1iking and immediate success. A solution of from one grain to ten g1ains in a pint of wate1 is a good p1op01tion, acco1ding to the seveiity of the case. The solution tastes alkaline, and acts as a feeble escha1otic upon healthy and particularly upon vascular and erythematous parts. When the ma1gin of the nost1ils 1s exco1iated, the permanganate colo1s the excmiated pa1t brownish; but the effect of this is 1athe1 beneficial than othe1wise, as the excoriated and colored part dries easily, and after the shedding of the faint b1ownish pellicle, appea1s healthy.
