. The science and practice of medicine . Dr. Bergson. utilizing the idea of Dr. Xatanson, simplified the atomizingapparatus by the introduction of the tubes known by his name, and whichwere used by him in an instrument he called a Hydrokonion. Two glass * Muthieue modification of Sales-Girons Mathieus Nephogene. 824 SPECIAL PATHOLOGY—DISEASES OP PHARYNX, ETC. tubes with capillary openings at one end, are so connected that the capil-lary extremities are at a right angle, the capillary end of the tube throughwhich the medicated fluid is to pass being arranged so as to cover abouthalf of the capillary opening of the other tube ; when air or steam isforced through the latter, which is horizontal, a vacuum is formed in theother, which is vertical, with its other end lying in the medicated liquid;which liquid rising to the top is, by the force of air or steam, minutelydivided. Fig. 51.* Fig. Professor Wintrich modified these tubes by having them made sepa-rate, bent the small end of the tube to be placed in the liquid to a rightangle, and bent the one through which the air or steam was to pass to aproper position, and bound them together by an India-rubber band (). These tubes can be made with free extremities of several inches inlength, and can be passed into the different cavities; the spray generatedwithin them, being thus brought, with a certain amount of force, into directcontact with the diseased surfaces. They can be made of all sizes andof different curves, to be passed up the nostril, as in the treatment ofcatarrh; to be placed in the ear, and reach the membrane of the tympa-num ; to be applied near the back of the throat, or immediately over theentrance of the larynx (Fig. 52); thus furnishing means for local treat-ment, and replacing the sponge probang.
