16- OF SMELL. 



Many substances excite both smell and taste, — a compound 

 sensation to which Dr. Prout, in a very original paper,* conceives 

 the term flavour properly to apply: hence, in catarrh, such 

 substances scarcely give any sensation, as the sense of smell, — 

 one ingredient, is impaired.
