When charged for use the patient will inhale medicated hot moist am which has been charged and heated by passing through the medicated liquid in the interior. The act of inhaling, which will be accompanied by a gurgling noise, is done with great ease, as although the liquid becomes thoroughly agitated, the column of water to be displaced is small and the air passes through a number of holes.

This medium is preferable to Mucilage, Glycerine, or Spirit of Wine.

II. Vapores Frigidi--Cold Inhalations.
