This is a proprietary article, largely advertised in the Eastern states,
and meets with rapid sales and is used for catarrh. The directions are to
dip the little finger into the balm and insert up the nostrils giving two
or three inhalations. It is as follows:
Thymol 3 grains
Bismuth Carbonatis 15 grains
Oil of Wintergreen 2 minims
Vaselin to make 1 ounce
The above amount would cost about 25 cents.
