The treatment of syphilis . er. However, ageneral method is presented for securing relatively large quan-tities of water suitable for intravenous use. Any suitable type of metal distilling apparatus provided with ablock tin condenser will answer the purpose. A manufacturer ofchemical apparatus can easily provide this type. In using it,care should be used in preventing the possibility of mechanicaloverflow. This provides a roughly distilled water contaminatedwith volatile gases. This grade of distilled water should be usedfor obtaining sterile, freshly glass-distilled water. There areseveral ways of carrying out this procedure. The simplest technic is to place the water in any glass-distillingapparatus and add calcium oxid or alkaline permanganate toabsorb carbon dioxid and destroy organic matter. The con-tents should be heated to boiling and the distillate collected in aflask suitable for later sterilization if the water is not to be usedas soon as cool. A continuous distillation can be carried on bythis Distilling Apparatus A simple type for physicians who have no gas, elec-tricity or running water, or who lack any one ofthese three conveniences. Description of this ap-paratus is found on page 45. TECHNIC OF ARSPHENAMINE ADMINISTRATION 45 A Simple Distilling Apparatus In case only a relatively small quantity is to be utilized, omit-ting the permanganate, it is well to distill off at least one fourthand discard it and to collect the remainder for use. For thebenefit of those who are limited in their facilities the apparatusshown in the accompanying picture is presented. This type of apparatus is designed for those who lack gas,electricity and running water or any one of the three conven-iences. It consists of an ordinary aspirating bottle which maybe used as a source of water supply by putting ice into water andallowing the ice water to flow through the condenser as a meansof cooling the water vapors. The rest of the apparatus con-sists of a pyrex distillin
