Boggetts Patent Cfas Spatula.—The spatula, or plaster iron,(figure 16,) is described in the Pharmaceutical Journal for Novem-ber. It consists of a blade of the ordinary shape, but hollow Fig. near the top, which is pierced with a number of small handle is a metallic tube mounted with wood, communicatingwith the cavity of the blade. A vulcanized caoutchouc tube isattached to the end of the spatula handle by a coupling joint, theother end of the tube being similarly attached to a gas using the spatula the flow of gas is let into the tube andlighted at all the orifices on the back of the spatula. The lattersoon becomes sufficiently heated by conduction, and then theoperator, by curtailing the flow of gas, can keep up a regularsupply of heat during the whole operation of spreading the flexibility of the tube allows of perfect freedom of motion inthe spatula. Of course it is necessary to avoid getting theplaster on the back of the spatula so as to close the orifices.
