Diptheria, its nature and treatment . these instruments I have not been able to satisfymyself that the amount of medicated fluid which can be so in-troduced is sufficient to be effective in the treatment of croup,but I think it not improbable that they may be found to havesome utility.

Though the use of the hand-atomizer has obvious advanta-ges in point of convenience, yet in most cases in which it ispracticable the application of spray together with warmvapor, by means of the steam-atomizer, is to be preferred. Unfortunately, the impracticability of applying spray tovery young children precludes its employment in a considera-ble proportion of our worst cases. The evils attending its ap- TREATMENT. 239 plication by force more than counterbalance its benefits. Ihave made many attempts to overcome this difficulty by vari-ous expedients, but never with satisfactory results. In cases in which the efficient use of spray is impracticable,.

Themost efficient method of doing- this is the construction of atent over the crib or bed with blankets and barrel-hoops or
