204: Oil for Catarrh formula
1. Menthol 8 grains
2. Camphor 8 grains
3. Oil of Cloves 1 drop
4. Oil of Thyme 1 drop
5. Oil of Eucalyptus 4 drops
6. Ephedrine 25 grains
7. Alkannin 2 grains
8. Mineral Oil 8 ounces
Dissolve Nos. 1, 2, and 6 in No. 8 by the aid of heat, then add Nos. 3, 4,
5 and 7.
Directions: Spray by means of an oil atomizer into nostrils and throat
morning and night; oftener if necessary. The exceedingly fine distribution
obtained by the spray carries it to all the parts of nose and throat, an
accomplishment not so readily attained by any other method of application. If
an atomizer is not at hand, it may be administered to the nostrils with an eye
dropper.
This is a very effective Formula for quickly clearing the air passages of
the nose and throat. As catarrhal conditions are often responsible for
affections and congestion of Bronchial tubes and hardness of hearing, it can be
used also to advantage in these conditions.
