The ozone gen-erator jar is connected by means of a tube to a jarcontaining an aromatic volatile oil or a simple alka-line solution in order to filter out the traces of nitricacid that are produced together with the ozone; anda fan, driven by a small motor, is employed to causethe continuous passage of the current of air throughthe Fig. 89.—Ozone Generator to Operate on High-FrequencyCoil or Static Machine. The commercial types of apparatus in the ster-ilization of public water supplies are in successfuluse. The medical apparatus has proven of somevalue in sanitarium work and gives considerablepromise of being of decided value in those types ofdisease dependent upon sub-oxidation. Among theclaims mentioned by the devotees of this form oftreatment, are its successful use in the varioustypes of germ infections, neuresthenia, nervousasthma, nervous impotence, anaemia, and the tox-aemias of insufficient hepatic and intestinal meta-bolism. The further claim that the oil from the filtering 182 OZONE. jars makes a valuable dressing for obstinate ulcersand chronic skin diseases, owing to the large amountof ozone retained therein, is open to criticism. Asthese oils are in the apparatus for the purpose ofabsorbing the nitric acid, it is more rational toascribe
