...other experimenters, that cerebral tumors frequently nudge the olfactory centres of the brain, blunt the sense of smell. But sharpness of smell is so inconstant and the weak human nose can detect such minute quantities of a substance, that precise measurement seemed hopeless.

He found that in normal persons a fairly constant and easily measurable quantity of scent-laden air was necessary...
...every subject known to have a brain tumor, or subsequently found to have one, of whatever size, the MIO was definitely higher than normal. Olfactory fatigue (individual increase of MIO after prolonged whiffing) was also longer than normal. Extent to which the MIO and fatigue were abnormal furnished a rough clue to the size and depth of the tumor. Finally, unequal distribution of scent power and endurance between the two nostrils showed that the tumor was located wholly or mostly in one hemisphere of the brain...
