“Post-Nasal Drip Syndrome: A Symptom to be Sniffed At?” Alyn H. Morice [pictured here], Pulmonary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, vol. 17, no. 6, 2004, pp. 343–5. The author, at Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham, UK, sniffs:

NOTE: Dr. Morice is a member of the International Society for the Study of Cough, a body of persons that has and enjoys cough meetings (at the 2012 meeting, in London, the members four times convened to have coffee). Here’s a map showing the location of their headquarters, in Hull:
