Communicating with the interior of theunit is a tube which, continued with rubber tubing,connects with a pipe leading to a vacuum in the line is a turncock so situatedthat vacuum may be employed or released at will,and between this and the bleeding unit is an intakevalve fitted with a small cup containing carbolizedcotton through Avhich air must pass to release thevacuum remaining in the unit when bleeding iscompleted and the turncock is closed, severingconnection with the vacuum tank. A vacuum indi-cator is inserted in the line between the tank andthe turncock. The operator grasps the tail, disinfects it thor-oughly, and dries it with alcohol.

When vacuumis applied the contact is rendered air-tight, andblood streams rapidly from the severed and uniform traction should be appliedduring the process of bleeding. When the desiredquantity of blood has been drawn, the turncockis closed, the vacuum remaining in the unit is re-leased through the intake valve already described,and the tail is ligated near the end or the raw sur-face is seared to prevent further is well to cover all the shaved surfaces withointment thus preventing chapping of the skinwhich may render subsequent bleedings tec
