The following wash can be recommended: Powdered borax, ten grammes; one teaspoonful cologne; soft water, 150 grammes. Melt the borax in the water, then add the cologne. It is sufficient to moisten the nose with the wash and let it dry without wiping. When it begins to burn again, the treatment should be renewed.
