NEW GOODS AND SPECIALTIES IN RUBBER. 



THE "century" adjustable ATOMIZER NO. 10. 



THE atomizer illustrated herewith possesses some import- 

 ant advantages which are peculiar to it. The principal 

 advantage consists in its ability to spray two liquids 

 from the same atomizer, the large outside bottle being 

 used for the aqueous liquid, and the small vial which slips in- 

 side it for spraying minute quan- 

 tities of heavier liquids. Uy a 

 simple adjustment of the spray 

 tip this atomizer is regulated for 

 either liquid. As will readily be 

 seen, this arrangement saves the 

 expense of two separate atom- 

 izers, while each liquid is kept 

 entirely distinct, and can be used 

 without waste. It is recommended especially for catarrhal 

 cases, where the use of a cleansing liquid is generally followed 

 by healing spray composed of an oily preparation. [The S. H. 

 VVetmore Co., No. 240 Pearl street. New York.] 



THE " HYGEIa" NURSER. 



As the illustrations show, the " Hygeia " nurser, which has 

 lately been introduced to the trade, consists of two parts, a 



breast and a cell. In this it 

 differs from the ordinary nurs- 

 ing bottle, which consists of a 

 bottle with a neck, to which a 

 nipple is attached. The " Hy- 

 geia " nurser can be filled 

 without a funnel, and cleaned 

 without a brush, just as a 

 tumbler is cleaned. The nip- 

 ple IS not a nipple at all, but is in form and 

 function just like a mother's breast. It is made 

 of the best rubber, seamless, reinforced, and re- 

 versible. It is yielding, like an air cushion, it is 

 noncollapsible, and can be turned inside out 

 for cleaning. One advantage of the likeness of this device 

 to the natural breast is that many infants will go from one 

 to the other without seeming to appreciate the difference. 

 This is an important feature, especially at weaning time, or 

 when there is a deficiency in the natural supply of milk, mak- 

 ing necessary an artificial accessory. The same firm supply 

 sterilizers fitted especially for this device. [The Hygeia Nurs- 

 ing Bottle Co., No. 242 Ashland avenue, Buffalo, New York.] 



ROJO'S ASEPTIC RUBBER DAM HOLDER. 

 Thk name "Aseptic" has been applied to this new holder 

 for dentists' use for reason that, unlike other rubber dam hold- 

 ers, the elastic tape connecting 

 the metal plate may be separated 

 readily and instantly from the 

 plate, thus enabling them to be 

 disinfected by themselves. In 

 this way the tape is not affected 

 injuriously by the sterilizing pro- 

 cess. This device is adapted for 

 holding a napkin by means of 

 springing clasps, so that the pa- 

 ' ' tient is not incommoded by fre- 



quent rearrangements, as might be the case were the napkin

loose, and this facilitates the work of the dentist himself. 

 Moreover, this new shape is designed to best receive the pull 

 of the tape and thus hold the plates in proper position. The 

 dam is easily applied and adjusted by simply stretching it over 

 the projecting ears of the plates. This is the invention of Dr. 

 Jose J. Rojo ; a patent has been applied for. [The S. S. White 

 Dental Manufacturing Co., Philadelphia.] 



NO. 126 "BARCLAY" ATOMIZER. 

 Thi.s new article — a continuous spray atomizer for medicinal 

 use— does not differ in construction from the No. 26 Barclay 



atomizer which has 

 been on the market 

 for some time past. 

 It has a straight tip 

 and screw cap fitting 

 of hard rubber, as in- 

 dicated in the illus- 

 tration, and a bulb 

 and tubing of soft 

 rubber. The d i s- 

 tinctive feature of the 

 new atomizer is in 

 the use of black rub- 

 ber for the soft parts, as being less likely to become soiled 

 through use, and thereby insuring the continued good appear- 

 ance. [Whitall Tatum Co., Nos. 46-48 Barclay street. New 

 York.] 



THE "canton" rubber SOAP TRAY. 



Thls article is offered for the appreciation of those who 

 have been troubled with the porcelain or china soap dish slip- 

 ping from a marble 

 washstand into the 

 bowl, with a clatter 

 and usual breakage. 

 Its character pre- 

 vents slipping, noise, 

 and breaking. It is made of a good quality of rubber, and the 

 standard color is a rich maroon. It may be ordered if desired 

 in white or black, but maroon will be sent unless otherwise 

 specified. [The Canton Rubber Co., Canton, Ohio.] 



COUNTERFEIT CIGARS. 

 Every smoker knows that there are cigars and cigars, and 

 very few good ones. Exactly what genius it was that invented 



^. 



Mmrn 



the rubber cigar, no one seems to know. As the illustration 

 shows, it has a certain likeness to a real Havana. Its color is 

 all right, and even the white ash at the tip gives it quite a real- 

 istic effect, but exactly how any smoker could be deceived by 

 it does not appear. These cigars are turned out by a little 

 German rubber factory and they are displayed in the windows 

 of many European rubber stores. It is possible, of course, 

 that some inveterate smoker might buy an article of this kind, 

 which is thoroughly " anti-nicotine." and make believe smoke
