In a large number of instances, especially if the patient have 

 been exposed to malarious influences or inhabit damp, sunless 

 apartments, the symptoms of coryza will promptly subside under 

 the free exhibition of quinine, of which from fifteen to twenty 

 grains in divided doses should be given to an adult ; and to chil- 

 dren, a grain daily for a week or more for each year of the age. 

 Brand and Hager, of Stettin, recommend the following as an abor- 

 tive : I. acid, carbolic, pura 5.0, spirit, vini rectificat. 15.0, liq. 

 ammon. caust. 5.0, aqua dest. 10.0 ; to be enclosed in a black glass- 

 stoppered bottle. About every two hours a few drops of this are 

 to be inhaled from a clean glass, the eyes and mouth being kept 

 closed. By this means the first stage of coryza is said to be short- 

 ened and the second avoided.
