Revivers for fainting (8,5)

I believe the answer is:

smelling salts

(Other definitions for smelling salts that I've seen before include "stimulant" , "Sal volatile" , "Restorative to be sniffed" , "Antidote to fainting" , "Pungent ammonium carbonate crystals" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
