A RUBBER COMB WITH STAGGERED TEETH. 



THOSE with .scanty l.aks link- realize what discomforts accom- 

 pany the combing of heavy and curly liair with the ordinary 

 comb. l''or the possessor of luxuriant locks, the "'Climax" 

 comb is an unmixed blessing. The teeth of this coml) are set in 

 staggered formation, projecting alternately on either side, and at 

 the base of each tooth there is an opening in the form of a large 

 loop — thus securing a minimum of friction and allowing the coml) 

 to pass easily through the hair. The loop construction also 

 makes the teeth more flexible and adds greatly to the strength 

 .1 the comb as a ^^\uAr. The manufacturers of the ••Climax"

DENTAL AND SURGICAL INHALERS IN NEW FORMS. 



The greater success of present-day surgery is due not only to 

 increased knowledge and skill on the part of the surgeon, but 

 also quite largely to improved implements and appliances. Spe- 

 cialization in apparatus of this sort with an aim toward perfection 

 has lately resulted in the introduction of two new inhalers used 

 to produce analgesia or anesthesia, 

 both of which are here illustrated. 



The nasal inhaler is particularly 

 suited to dental work. Besides the 

 rubber tubing common to the gen- 

 eral type, the nose-piece of this 

 inhaler is made of soft rubber 

 rubber pads are attached to a steel 

 head band which adjustably 

 ports the tubing and 

 prevents it from drag- 

 ging over the head. 

 There are four of / 



these soft rubber pads, 

 two fitting across the 

 forehead, as shown in 

 the picture, and the 

 remaining two forming a hollow in 



The soft rubber nose-piece can be adjusted to ht, air-tight, 

 over any nose, and an adjuster strip makes it possible to bring 

 any amount of pressure required against the face or to press 

 back any desired amount of the upper lip, for work on front 

 teeth. The inhaler, while durable, is simple in construction and 

 can easily be taken apart for sterilization.
