    to employ a glass tube as described above for ordinary bougies. The shape is similar to that of an ordinary bougie, except that a nasal bougie is about ^ inch longer; consequently it is about 5 grains heavier when prepared with oil of theobroma and about 6 grains heavier than a glyco-gelatin bougie (18 grains weight) when prepared with glyco-gelatin. Nasal bougies are almost invariably prepared with a glyco-gelatin base, as the medicaments ordered are more suited to this than to oil of theobroma. When glyco-gelatin bougies are prepared by the tube method, the lubricant should be almond oil.
