DR. DECKERS FOUNTAIN SYRINGE. 



A RADICAL departure from the general construction 

 of syringe nozzles has been made in the self-retain- 

 ing and non-plugable nozzles of Dr. Decker's in- 

 vention. The number of openings makes possible 

 most thorough Hushing, and the canal through the center 

 furnishes an exit for waste water. If, 

 however, it is desirable for the water 

 to be retained, the canal may be filled 

 with non-absorbing cotton. It will 

 be observed, by the illustration, that 

 jS^gr. the openings are not confined to the 



B^^P large end of the nozzle, but, also, ex- 



^H^r tend about the margin of the extended 



liV portion of the nozzle. As it is rotated 



^S an effective cleansing is obtained. 



II The rectal nozzle has four openings 



II (none on the end) so it is impossible to 



plug them. [Hygeia Nursing Bottle Co., ButTalo, New York.] 



BUCKSKIN RUBBER LINED TOBACCO POUCH. 

 The manufacture of tobacco pouches has long formed an 

 import. lilt ittin in the i uMii i trade in Kngland, for every 



Britisher loves a pipe, 

 and naturally wel- 

 comes a convenient 

 and serviceable recep- 

 tacle for his tobacco. 

 Besides, there is a de- 

 mand for attractive 

 pouches, and there are 

 many smo k e r s to 

 whom expense is no 

 object. The cuts here- 

 with relate to a splen- 

 did line of tobacco 

 pouches, manufac- 

 tured by a leading 

 British firm. It is a 

 buckskin rubber lined 

 pouch. The covering 

 may be of any kind of 

 fine skins — antelope, 

 seal, snake, lizard, or 

 the like. Some of these 

 pouches are very or- 

 nate, and can be had 

 embellished with gold 

 plates, for initials or monograms. [Charles Macintosh & 

 Co., Limited, Manchester. ]== A tobacco pouch recently 

 brought out by another firm, also English, and called the 

 "Diana," while of the same general type as shown in the 

 illustrations, possesses some distinct features in construc- 

 tion. It can be opened wider than other pouches, enabling 

 the pipe to be filled conveniently by dipping it into the 

 tobacco, there being thus less liability to spilling. Besides, 

 the flap closes automatically with the pouch, and retains the 

 contents with absolute security. 



AN ELASTIC TREAD HORSESHOE. 

 The horseshoe illustrated here consists of an elastic 

 tread section, within which is located a skeleton frame 

 of metal, conforming to the contour of the rubber part. 

 The frame is provided with apertured otTsets, whereby 

 when the tread section 

 is cast on the frame, 

 the different parts will 

 be firmly united, and 

 with downwardly ex- 

 tending stop plates 

 on the toe portion of 

 the frame, and between 

 which the material of 

 the elastic tiead sec- 

 tion is held. To add 

 further to the comfort 

 of the horse, the upper 

 surface of the shoe 

 may be covered with a 

 cushion material, such 

 as leather. The illus- 

 tration relates to a bar shoe, though Ih;. luvxuli^ii is .idapl- 

 able to other forms. It shows a portion of the elastic tread 

 removed, to give an idea of the constritction of the metal 

 frame. United States patent No. 772,050, granted to F. D. 

 Palmer and .\lfred H. Isham. 



GOODRICH SURGICAL BASINS. 

 One of the chief requisites of successful surgical opera- 

 tions lies in having recourse to every possible means whereby 

 facility, con- 

 venience, and 

 cleanliness are 

 enhanced. 

 Rubber surgi- 

 cal accessories 

 have been 

 more and more 

 resorted to as 

 meeting these 

 requirements, 

 until now the 

 list is indeed a 

 long one. For 

 example, pus 

 basins, such as 

 those shown 



in the illustration, have been tested and found most satis- 

 factory to operators, nurses, and patients. The foundation 

 consists of a soft brass rim .5s of an inch wide, rubber cov- 

 ered. The body of the basin is made of pure strong gum. 

 They can be shaped to conform to any surface and when 

 pressed against or tied to the body fit so snugly that no 

 fluid can get between the basin and the skin. They are 

 made in 6 inch and S inch sizes, and they can be folded in 

 compact little packages. [The B. F. Goodrich Co., Akron.
