If the simple rhinitis has advanced far towards the hyper- trophic stage, then I commence at once with: Iodini Cryst., gr. iv.; Potassi Iodidi, gr. x.; Zinci Iodidi, 9j 5 Zinci Sulpho-carbolatis, ;Jj; “Listerine,” 3j; Aquae, ad 5iv, as a spray. These applications should always be selected with due deliberation, in view of the special indications presented by the case, care being exercised that the application is of such a strength as to cause no irritation of the nasal mucous membrane, one much more susceptible than that of the pharynx or larynx. A preliminary trial of the strength of the solution should always be made. In case these spray-applications are not well borne, or perhaps in ac-- cordance with the special views of the physician, a medicated powder : may be substituted. Powders are particularly adapted to. the treatment« of this form of the disease, where the secretions are readily removable, the parts soft and absorptive. In hypertrophic rhinitis they are, I be- lieve, of little use, and in atrophic or fetid rhinitis, contra-indicated... One such powder as, for instance, the following, may be applied byy means of the anterior, or, if possible, the posterior nasal powder-in- . sufflator that I have shown you: gp-s.
