A flexible tube leads fi-om the bag to the mouth-piece, whichis of the same conformation as that described as Dr. Sibsons ; but has introduced an improvement, by using for the valves tliin platesof ivory, supported by spiral springs. The india rubber which is usuallyemployed for the valves is apt to cuii up. The apparatus for filling the bag with the atmosphere for inhalationconsists of a bellows, shaped like a concertina, with a r
