Clinical and laboratory tests with this new form of antiseptic have developed ‘methods of antisepsis and hesling unknown a few years ago. These tests show Zonite to be an effective agent in overcoming nasal catarrh. The method is as follows: Secure an atomizer in which the fittings are of hard vubber. Make a solution of one ul of Zonite to three-fourths of a glass of luke warm water. Tilt the head well back and spray through a nostril until the liquid can be felt dripping from the post nasal cavity into the throat. Repeat the process through the other nostril. This treatment should be employed three times daily —morning, evening' and before retiring. The solution should not be allowed to in the atomizer, but should be freshly prepared each day. As the mucoun membrane becomes accustomed to the sensation of the antiseptic the amount of water may be reduced until not over a half a glass is used to each teaspoonful of Zonite. The above treatment should provide a feeling of com- fort and relief within a few hours. In from two to four weeks it should cleanse and heal the mucuous membrane, check all abnormal discharge and clear the nasal passages. Note: A more copious flow of mucous after spraying is to be expected; it will soon disappear.
