Similarly, self-medication with the inhaler was connected with prophylactic treatment of respiratory conditions. With these family connections to the ceramics industry in Shropshire, and their own manufacturing and marketing expertise, S. Its emergence from the orbit of the RMCS, on the other hand, can also help us to reconstruct a surprisingly thorough framework of what was, essentially, quality control, which was highly unusual for pharmaceutical technologies in the nineteenth century.

I’d warn you away from Vocalzones because they numb the feeling in the vocal chords so you won’t feel it if you really are hurting yourself! Other inhalers include detailed instructions according to which patients were initially recommended to undertake one daily session of five minutes’ duration, rising to as many as ten daily sessions lasting up to fifteen minutes as the patient grew accustomed to the therapy (see Siegle, 1865, p 30).For serious physicians or pharmacists, the sign of acceptance for a pharmaceutical preparation was its professional acceptance in the British Pharmacopoeia, the official sanctioned list of medication, rather than its popularity or profitability. Initially it was about four feet long, but later designs were much shorter and included a whistle-type valve ( Fitch, Six Lectures, pp 93–95). Indeed, it is notable that highly respected physicians and experts in respiratory diseases and their treatment like Sir Charles Scudamore also lived in Wimpole Street and around York Gate in the period immediately following Thomas Nelson’s relocation to London around 1835, suggesting a community of like-minded inhalation specialists within the RMCS and in close geographical proximity (the list of members includes addresses for Nelson, Scudamore, and other establishment physicians). They were also used by singers and performers worldwide to hydrate the vocal folds and provide immediate relief from irritation or inflammation of the throat.

Ineffective and even dangerous household remedies and patent medicines were frequently advertised and consumed in similar ways to the Dr Nelson’s Inhaler, much to the distress and anger of the professional medical classes. When Dr Nelson emerged with his new double-valve inhaler in the early 1860s it was no surprise that one of the first advertisements for the device recommended the inhaler’s simplicity ( Anon, 1865b, p 160). The patient would inhale through the mouthpiece, drawing in air from the second opening through the water and steam. According to James Adams, the glass boiler was fragile and was prone to overflowing, potentially scalding the patient: ‘the water flowing over through the stream escape is projected forcibly in the face of the patient’ ( 1878, p 10). The steam relaxes your vocal chords so much that to make them do anything too strenuous while they’re in this fragile state can hurt them.This would suggest that by the mid-nineteenth century both the mechanical and pharmaceutical uses of inhalation had become linked, even if Ramadge himself may have had little say in the design anymore (he died in 1867). A cork fitted with a glass tube running through the centre are inserted into the neck opening of the bottle.

Dr Nelson's Inhaler can be used to treat chest infections and diseases by inhaling the steam directly as it emerges from the glass funnel. That said, it’s otherwise in a good state, has a good maker’s mark and is a definite conversation piece!For example, in the first edition of his On Affections of the Throat and Lungs, Abbotts Smith included a preface distancing himself from Hunter’s ‘ignorant’ and ‘reckless’ treatments ( Abbotts Smith, 1869, p 6). The Proceedings make it difficult to establish the identity of the inventor with complete certainty: a Dr Nelson only appears twice in the minutes of the meetings in this period.

Ginger is really good for the voice so you can cook with it as much as you like as well as having it in the tea!Following in the footsteps of pioneers like Mudge and Ramadge, the company had already begun advertising various inhalers in the early 1840s and later sold devices such as ‘Startin’s Pneumatic Inhaler’ for the new chloroform and ether anaesthesia, making the company an ideal partner for inventors of new respiratory devices ( Illustrated Catalogue, 2014, Vol. g. the Pneumostat, widely used from the 1930s but still generally housed in surgeries and pharmacies) or hand bulb nebulizers such as the Parke-Davis Glaseptic, and Abbots’ Aerohaler (1948), which is clearly comparable to modern dry powder inhalers, and ultimately the pMDI in the 1950s ( Sanders, 2007, p 79). The medical substances for inhalation needed to be procured separately, and these included (according to the British Pharmacopoeia of 1867) hydrocyanic acid, chlorine, tincture of iodine, creosote, and hemlock.

Case was a bit stiff to fit inhaler in, but very typical of leather and with only a few uses is already getting easier to use.
