To obviate this difficultyI have devised a simple apparatus with which four or more needlesmay furnish fluid to the tissues at the same time from a singlereceptacle. Anyone with the slightest amount of mechanical abil-ity can construct the apparatus in a few minutes without troubleand at trifling expense. 26 Kane: Device for Rapid Hypodermoclysis. He will require an ordinary rubber bulb glass medicinedropper, five yards of fine rubber tubing, such as is used for nurs-ing bottles, four extra large hypodermic needles, or fine asperatingneedles, and a wire hairpin. The whole apparatus can be sterilized in a few minutes byimmersion in boiling water. Any clean bowl, bottle, pail or othervessel of sufficient size will answer for the receptacle that shallcontain the normal salt solution. The constructioji is as follows: Into one end of three feet of the rubber tubing (the end. which is to serve as a siphon) is inserted the wire hairpin to act asa stilet in retaining the tubing in the proper curve to hang overthe edge of the vessel. The pin must have first had its curve altered to a more obtuseangle to prevent kinking of the tubing. K few short crooks alongeach fork will prove of advantage by preventing its slidingthrough the rubber tubing when subjected to tension. By thisdevice is secured a firm and properly curved siphon which can, bybending the pin more or less, be made to fit over the lip of anyvessel. The length of the short arm of the siphon can be increased ordiminished to just reach the bottom of a vessel of any depth bymerely sliding the wire a greater or less distance along the tubing. Kane: Device for Rapid Hypodermoclysis. 27 Into the other end of the yard of tubing is inserted the nozzleof the dropper^ the tip of which, if too small, should be broken offto where it is wider. In the rubber bulb of the dropper are cutf
