NEW GOODS AND SPECIALTIES IN RUBBER. 



GOODRICH SURGEONS SYRINGK OUTFIT. 



IN the line of syringes the most distinctive novelty placed 

 on the market for some time past is comprised in the 

 Surgeons' Syringe Outfit, of which an illustration is pre- 

 sented herewith. This is made of pure gum, with rein- 

 forced strip up the center. The stock and construction admit 



of its being folded 

 up into a very 

 small space, ren- 

 dering it not only 

 serviceable but 

 convenient to 

 carry. The outfit 

 includes, in addi- 

 tion to the bag, 6 

 feet of pure gum 

 tubing, with con- 

 nections and shut- 

 ofT. The bag is 

 made in two quart, 

 three quart, and 

 J four quart sizes, 

 and is altogether a strictly high grade article. [The B. F. 

 Goodrich Co., Akron, Ohio.] 



DR. TULLAR'S vaginal SPRAY. 



The article illustrated herewith being 

 made entirely of hard and soft rubber, of 

 high quality and finish, and no metal being 

 used in its construction, there is nothing 

 about it to corrode. The hollow cup shaped 

 spray differs from any other, and possesses 

 distinctive advantages, as does the oval 

 shaped adjustable rubber shield or vaginal 

 closing plug. The discharge pipe is of mod- 

 erate size, witJi no hurtful sharp edged out- 

 lets. The bulb, being pear shaped, with a 

 soft neck, holds the pipe less rigidly than in 

 the case of many other syringes, and the 

 capacity of the Tullar syringe — 9 ounces — 

 is such that one filling is enough for a safe, 

 perfect, and efficient douche. These various 

 advantages will serve to explain the great 

 popularity which the Tullar syringe has at- 

 tained. [Seamless Rubber Co., New Haven, 

 Connecticut.] 



A NEW KELLY-SPRINGFIELD TIRE FEATURE. 

 A NEW feature in the way of retaining rings for solid rubber 



vehicle tires is shown in the accompanying illustration. One 



great trouble with tires of 

 this type for heavy work, 

 as on commercial wagons, 

 has always been with the 

 fastenings. In the present 

 case steel V shaped tetain- 

 ing rings, wrapped spirally 

 with canvas to which the 

 rubber vulcanizes, thus 

 giving a hold complete 



around the ring, are inserted in the base of the rubber, and. 



bearing directly on the band of the wheel, eliminate eternal 

 friction. To make the fastening means still more secure, the 

 rubber section is made somewhat wider than the steel base or 

 rim, and compressed by the side flanges which are drawn up by 

 bolts. Owing to the V shape of the retaining rings the tire is 

 then practically dovetailed to the wheel, and thus held very se- 

 curely. The tire is made in width up to 7 inches. [Consoli- 

 dated Rubber Tire Co., No. 1784 Broadway, New York.] 



TROUSER ROBE FOR MOTORISTS. 



In these pages last month ap- 

 peared a description of a new 

 trouser robe for motorists, made 

 to buckle around the waist and 

 ankles and designed to keep off 

 the wind, in addition to its other 

 advantages. An illustration of 

 this robe was given, but a better 

 idea of the merit of the article 

 may be gained from another il- 

 lustration, which is presented 

 herewith, showing how the gar- 

 ment appears when in use. This 

 is made of various materials, at 

 different prices, ranging from 

 plain rubber face, with shepherd 

 plaid back, to fine green cloth, 

 face woven whipcord back, rub- 

 ber interlined. [L. C. Chase & 

 Co., Boston and New York.] 



AN ADJUSTABLE FOUNTAIN 

 SYRINGE SHUT-OFF. 



A SUITABLE "shut-off" is es- 

 sential to the satisfactory use of 



a fountain syringe — one that not only will do the work re- 

 quired of it in regulating the flow of water through the tube, 

 but is easily worked. Such a device is that recently patented 

 by Elbert O. Jeralds, of which two illustrations are shown here- 

 with, showing the Shut-off open and closed. It is exceedingly 

 simple in construction, the shut-off proper being stamped from 

 a single piece of high nickel plate, while the lever, by means of 

 which the pressure is controlled, is made from another. In 

 other words, the whole device consists of but two pieces, and

may readily be worked with one hand. Thisshut-off, although 

 introduced only recently, is understood to have been adopted
