We invite the attention of the Medical Profession to a new apparatus for aspiration, constructed upon the general plan of Potain, but containing the following inventions and improvements of our own: 1st. Means of immediate and easy change of the pump from an exhaust to a condensing or force pump, and vice versa, enabling the operator not only to evacuate an abnormal fluid, but also with the same apparatus to inject the cavity with an irritating one as advised by Dieulafoy. (See Dieulafoy on Pneumatic Aspiration, pp. 276, 278, etc.) 2d. The substitution of a metallic cap fitting a screw thread, cast in the glass of the receiver, thereby rendering its closure to external air perfect, and when the apparatus is employed for injection, preventing the possibility of disengagement, - a danger to which the stopper ordinarily used is too liable. 3d. The substitution for the ordinary oiled silk valves of other apparatus, of a kind indestructible both in form and material, never requiring renewal, and rarely any attention whatever. The use of these valves relieves from all fear of injury to the pump from the accidental introduction of liquid into it, and, if desired, the pump may be as freely used for liquids as for air. 4th. The adaptation to the pump of a suitable stopper, cocks, and tubes forming a complete and desirable means of evacuating, and of washing out the stomach. Stomach attachment, as described, adapted to pump accompanying Nos. 1 and 2, additional, For Pump and Brass parts of Nos. 1 or 2, Nickel-plated, add 16.00 14.00 6.00 Simple Trocars, Gold-plated, Nos. 1, 2, and 3, each 1.50 2.00 The foregoing are the product of our own factory, and are warranted in every respect. Simple Trocars, with Stop-cock, Gold-plated, to fit any of the above In his work on Pneumatic Aspirations, Dieulafoy shows the harmlessness of the Aspiratory Puncture and its great superiority to the Exploring Trocar as a means of accurate diagnosis in all collections of Pathological Fluids. It has been used with unprecedented success in Retention of Urine, Reduction of Strangulated Hernia, in Ascites, Hydrothorax, Empyema, Pneumothorax, Effusions into the Pericardium, Serous, Purulent, and Hematic Effusions of the Knee, Hydrocele, Hydatid Cysts, Abscesses of the Liver, and in various other Pathological Lesions. Commendations bestowed upon our apparatuses Nos. 1 and 2, by physicians familiar with the latest European and American Aspirators, lead us to believe that in some important particulars, at least, they are superior to any.

It is finally conceded by the prominent physicians throughout the United States, that the FOUNTAIN SYRINGE is superior to all others, whether used as a DOUCHE FOR CATARRH or for any other purpose where an enema is required. It is self-acting; no valves to get out of order; no pumping; no air injected. Be sure to send for Circular before purchasing any of the Bulb Syringes. We refer by permission to Charles E. Buckingham, M. D., John B. Reynolds, M. D., George Hayward, M. D. Dr. Winslow Lewis says: "During a professional life of nearly fifty years, he has used all the various Syringes made here or abroad. All of them are more or less complicated, the valves soon getting out of order, and those without valves, inconvenient. The Fountain Syringe satisfactorily accomplishes all desiderata required It deserves all success, and undoubtedly will command it."
