Now a little criticism of ray own contriv^ rubber sheath—which is made to go a littlebeyond the proximal end of the .sound, for admit-ting the nozzle of the syringe—is the weak pointof it. Soft rubber does not wear well. But be-ing very cheap, (12 inches of rubber tubing is notvery dear), it can be, if it seems advisable, chang-ed every day, or one can let it stand in a strongsolution of an antiseptic fluid, of course, afterhaving taken the hard rubber part out of thesoft rubber covering.

[January ii, cleaning with the brush, the sound being stillin the tube. I will try to improve that. If onesays the grooves (being closed channels whenthe rubber covers them) will get blocked by de-bris, I will answer, the smaller the debris themore dangerous it is; if it gets in the sound itwill be extracted, and I would not be afraid of aslioht distension of the uterus which washes itbetter. Budins experiments proved that, whenthe liquid distends the uterus slightly, the
