Title A name given to the resource Vapo-Cresolene Vaporizer and Box, circa 1906 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource c. 1906 Description An account of the resource Vapo-cresolene Vaporizer and Box. The vaporizer includes a small glass jar attached to a screw-on oil lamp with a wick. There is an elaborately decorated gilded metal stand with a place for the glass jar and lamp at the bottom and a place at the top of the stand for a small metal tray to rest. The lamp placed beneath this tray heats the materials in the tray to create a vapor that can be spread into the air. The box for the Vapo-Cresolene Vaporizer has text on all four sides. On one side is an image of the vaporizer, cost for the vaporizer: $1.50 in the United States and Canada, and trademarks, and on the opposite side are a list of ailments that the Vapo-Cresolene can be used for including "Whooping Cough, Croup, Asthma, Catarrh, Colds, Diphtheria, Coughs, Hay Fever, Sore Throat and the Bronchial Complications of Scarlet Fever and Measles. Also "For the Respiratory Diseases of Animals, as Distemper and Pneumonia in Horse and Dogs; Gapes and Roup in Fowls." The other two sides include a description of how the vaporizer works and can reach "every crevice" including "Carpets, Clothing, and Bedding" as well as "The Germ Theory of Diseases", which describes how "all Zymetic Diseases, as Scarlet, Typhoid, and Typhus Fevers, Whooping Cough, Catarrh, Asthma, Croup, Measles, Diphtheria, and Hay Fever are generated by the agency of bacteria... These bacteria develop with great rapidity, mainly in the air passages", which can be reached using the Vapo-Cresolene Vaporizer. The vaporizer may have belonged to Dr. A. Louise Klehm or another member of the Niles Center community. In Dr. Klehm's Ledger she recommends that a patient use the Vapo-Cresolene Vaporizer.
