Some years ago, two gentlemen, both within the same month, requested me to relieve them of a generalized bromidrosis from which they said they suffered. They stated that they constantly perceived offensive emanations from their bodies, which greatly interfered with their personal comfort and prevented them from mingling in society. I could not, in either case, ascertain that there was the slightest ground for complaint, and in one of them I became satisfied that the odor complained of was purely subjective and referable to perverted sensitiveness of the olfactory organs, the patient being unable to properly differentiate well-known and distinctive odors, a condition analagous, I suppose, to that known as colorblindness, and to which the name of dysosmia might, with propriety, be applied.
