i love that. they call it a quack device. we know so much better in these modern times, dont we?

good tip, thx:) I did look at ebay just a moment ago and there's a print ad for the inhaler for 39.95....

Quack device? I'm sure that the use of that term makes it more collectible:)

Its carbolic acid with iodine:

Carbolic Acid Therapy
Inhalations of carbolic-acid spray possess a high degree of utility in chronic nasal catarrh, hay-asthma, chronic bronchitis, and whooping-cough. A solution in water, to the proportion of one per cent, is a suitable solution for this purpose. It may be combined with the tincture of iodine. The efficacy of these inhalations in hay-asthma and in whooping-cough is probably due to the fact that carbolic acid destroys the minute organisms (cacobacteria, pollen), on the presence of which the morbid action in these maladies depends (Letzerich). The vapor of carbolate of Iodine may be inhaled in these diseases. The warmth of the hand suffices to vaporize a mixture of carbolic acid and tincture of iodine.

If you Google 'carbolate of iodine' you get mostly wombat, but one or two pieces like the one above..

lysine - 3 grams 3 times a day

yes, but i would prefer magnascent. much more caution is required with elemental iodine, but there is still a lot of room for error. start with very low concentrations.

i just warmed up a shot glass and put a couple of drops of Lugols in it, swirled it around and breathed deep through my nostrils. i got a pretty good hit. that stuff is strong.

thank god for spell check is all i got to say.
