We tested 15 substances, some of which have not so far been used for olfactometry, on a group of 200 normal adults and on 50 patients with impairment of olfaction. In the first stage the test substances were offered on strips of blotting paper. With this qualitative procedure 6 substances were found to be typical and well recognized. In a second stage these substances were tested quantitatively using the Elsberg olfactometer. This series revealed four groups with gradually differing olfactive activity. From each group one substance was accepted for definitive testing. These were: peppermint oil (strongest olfactory stimulus), benzaldehyde, orange oil and eugenol (weakest stimulus). Using this olfactory scale in the blotting paper test a rough quantitative screening of the degree of olfaction impairment should be possible, without recourse to expensive olfactometry.
我们对一组200名正常成年人和50名嗅觉受损患者测试了15种物质，其中一些物质迄今尚未用于嗅觉测定。在第一阶段，将测试物质放在吸水纸条上。通过这种定性方法，发现6种物质具有典型性且易于识别。在第二阶段，使用埃尔斯伯格嗅觉计对这些物质进行定量测试。该系列显示出四组嗅觉活性逐渐不同的物质。从每组中选取一种物质进行最终测试。它们是：薄荷油（最强嗅觉刺激物）、苯甲醛、橙油和丁香酚（最弱刺激物）。在吸水纸测试中使用这种嗅觉量表，应该可以对嗅觉受损程度进行粗略的定量筛查，而无需借助昂贵的嗅觉测定法。
