THE AILMENTS OF EARLY INFANCY. 227 The metallic cylinder is capable of holding tenlitres of liquid (a litre is a little over a quart). Tostart the apparatus, about five litres of boilingwater should be poured in, after which three litresmay be poured in every four hours.

The two vessels maybe thus used alternately, and but little time con-sumed in the heating of the apparatus as comparedwith that required in the use of Tarniers invention. Fig. 36. c§>
