Maw's Vel-fin Hygienic Inhaler
Maw's Vel-fin Hygienic Inhaler was used to treat chest
infections, alleviate bronchitis and similar conditions of the
chest by inhaling the steam as it emerges from the funnel.
Various inhalation recipes were available but it was mainly
used with menthol or eucalyptus oils and crystals mixed with
boiling water. Inhaler's like this are still commonly used
today, especially by performers as it helps to hydrate the vocal
chords.
