A practical treatise on the diseases of the ear including the anatomy of the organ . agnosticmeans, although I am not so certain of its therapeutic hollow bulb was recommended as an inhaler by Dr. 310 USE OF VAPOES BY POLITZERS METHOD. Buttles of this city; but the attachment to Politzers appa-ratus was first made by myself. The vapor of iodine is veryuseful in many cases of naso-pharyngeal catarrh, and maybe used by means of the inhaler that has been described, orby means of the simple apparatus that is represented on theprevious page. It is very much employed by my colleague,Dr. Andrew H. Smith, at the Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospi-tal. It consists of a simple glass bottle, whose cork is piercedwith two holes, in each of which is a bent tube ; one of these, a,reaches nearly to the bottom, the other simply passes throughthe cork. The latter tube has india-rubber nose-piece, suchas is used in the ordinary nursing bottles. The other is con-nected to an air-bag, o, by which the vapor of the tincture ofiodine is forced into the nostrils for three or four Air-bag, with Inhaler Attachment. Dr, Peter Allen, of London, substitutes a nasal pad, whichis pressed against the opening into the nostrils, for the tubewhich, when Politzers method is employed, is inserted intoone nasal meatus. These air-pads are mounted on a strongpiece of covered cotton wire, and they can be brought togetheror separated in such a manner as to stop up the nasal is a hole in each pad, which communicates with twoshort bits of india-rubber tubing joining into a single tube. Ihave not found the use of the pads as convenient or efficientas the tip inserted into the nostril; but as some practitionershave thought that they were more convenient than the simpletube, placed in the nasal meatus, I have given this descriptionof Dr. Allens apparatus.* It can be had at the instrument-makers in New York. * On Aural Catarrh, London, 1871, p. 79.
