Physician's Materia Medica on Alkal-antiseptine
ALKAL-ANTISEPTINE
A pleasantly aromatic liquid having an alkaline reaction and serving as an efficient antiseptic and germicide although not pois onous to the human subject. It differs from Antiseptine, q. v. in that it contains glycerin and is distinctly alkaline. Its chief active constituents are Thymol, Eucalyptol, Menthol, Sodium Borate and Sodium Benzoate. Internally it may be given in teaspoonful doses as a gastric and intestinal antiseptic with antacid properties, but it is much more commonly used locally 1

BURNS AND SCALDS
For shock, stimulants, especially Elixir Digitalin Compound: hypodermatic injections morphine and atropine. Among the best local remedies are carron oil (linseed oil and lime-water, equal parts, to which may be added 5 per cent. of carbolic acid), solution picric acid (picric acid, 37 grs.; alcohol, 1% fl. ozs.; water, (1. s. to make one pint), creosote water (to relieve pain); in less severe burns, carbolated oil (15 grs. to fl. oz.), Alkal-antiseptine, sodium carbonate in aqueous solution.1

CATARRH, NASAL (See also Coryza)
Chronic Nasal Catarrh in our climate is an intractable affection. In mild cases Alkal-Antiseptine, well diluted with water and ap plied twice daily by aid of the little douche that accompanies it, is all the treatment needed. Application of Iodosyl once daily has a most happy effect. Tonics are often indicated. Atrophic Nasal Catarrh calls for use of more active antiseptics and a stimulating treatment, silver nitrate, iodine and hydrogen peroxide being the most useful remediés.1

CORYZA
Treat early stage as in acute bronchitis. The local congestion may be relieved by application of a 4 per cent. solution of cocaine, or a solution of suprarenal extract. Spray or vapor of camphor and menthol or use by inhaler of a little Phenol Camphor gives much relief. Alkal-Antiseptine with nasal douche is a useful remedy.1
