Bacon recorded two cases of chlorine poisoning. The first case was in a boy of 5, who, after passing \nthrough diphtheria to apparent complete recovery, was suddenly seized with symptoms of croup. Loss of voice, \ncrowing inspiration, prolonged ex piration incessant dry cough, great restless ness, high fever, and profuse \nperspiration. \nThe symptoms were worse lying on a lounge by the fire, better wh en lying in his mother's lap and still more \nrelieved by being carried about. During the previous illness, Platt's chlorides had been placed in the room as \na disinfectant and it occurred to the doctor that chlorine vapor is much heavier than air. He himself  lay down, \nand in a few minutes felt the irritating vapor and began to cough and hack. This soon passed away on sitting \nup. \nThe removal of the chlorides has a remarkable effect on the child, cough and respiration were greatly relieved. \nBut the relief came  too late, as the cause was not discovered for several days during which time the patient \nhad become steadily weaker, and he died the same afternoon. \nThe other case was that of an old woman who suffered from chronic bronchitis and on January 2,1892, \ndeveloped an attack of laryngitis. In three days she was well, but in the two subsequent weeks, on exactly the \nsame day, a fresh attack occurred. As the doctor soon discovered, his patient went to the back room, where \nchlorides were kept, every Monday to wash a few things she did not care to send to the laundry. \nThe chlorides were banished, and though the washing was continued, there were no more attacks of laryngitis. \nDr. Bacon added, that since giving up the use of disinfectants, other than plenty of fresh air, he has never had \nlaryngeal complications in scarlatina or diphtheria, though his neighbors have had plenty.  \nWhitman recommended chlorine water as a efficient palliative in a fit of asthma. He began with 10 drops, then \nin five minutes 20 more, and than in another five minutes, half a teaspoonful in a little water. It greatly facilitates \nexpectoration. \nIn typhus fever, Goullon recommended chlorine water, five drops every two or three hours until the tongue is \ndry.
