Three different brands of asthma cigarettes; Blosser’s, Dr Guild’s Green Mountain and Kinsman’s have been added to the asthma cigarettes page.
An Improved Inspirator, very similar to the American Inspirator has just been added.
Dr Graydon’s inhaler is a bit of a mystery. It is believed to be American. It is listed in Do you know - if you do please let me have any details.
The Abbott Aerohalor has been supplemented by the addition of an advert for this product. It is available as a PDF download.

A pot of Nature’s Herbal Ointment, a cure-all for all pulmonary complaints has been added.
An example of Pech’s electric inhaler has been added.
Bleyer’s bronchial spray, published in 1890 in JAMA, was a novel method for delivering medication to the deep lung. This fascinating article describes the apparatus and emphasises correct usage technique - an issue that remains with us 114 years later!
Another new addition is a brochure for the Carbolic Smoke Ball - the four page brochure may be downloaded as a PDF file.
In response to requests PDF files of some of the adverts have been created and progressively more will follow. Where available a PDF download link is shown.
The first official formulae of inhalation medicines were listed in the British Pharmacopoeia of 1867. Five formulae are described, including hydrocyanic acid - which was used for the treatment of dry cough, however, in large doses it is lethal as it can paralyse respiration. Vapour of hemlock is also described, it was also used as a treatment for cough. Vapour of creosote is also described, this was used as a treatment for tuberculosis and bronchitis. Contrast this with the 1913 French treatments listed in Les Maladies des Poumons et des Bronches (available as a PDF download).
