This piece of apparatus differspriucipally from Dr. Snows inhaler by the substitution of a gutta-perchajacket in place of the water-bath which siuTouuds the chloroform flexible delivery-tube is replaced by a double sheathing tube which isprovided with a rotatory joint at its point of junction with the cylinder, sothat it can be adapted for convenient use in the sitting posture, as well asin the recumbent attitude. In order to regulate the admission of air forthe dilution of the chloroform vapor, the inner and outer casings of the de-.
