YNHESE instruments are radically d3Eerent in
Il principle and construction, from sn Others
embracing what is valuable in them ali with new
principles of vast utility.
The Bow used in these instruments is not
spring but soft iron to be shaped at pleasure fit
The Pad works over knuckle, giving at the same
time an inward and upward motion whereby not
more than half the usual pressure is required and
very little on the back 1t cannot work up or out
of place; the pad-bearing is changed. or the pad
itself changed in shape size with very little rou-
bic. These instruments the smallest, ightest,
most endurable (no rust) most ceanly, the eases
can be taken off and washed at pleasure and will do
more for relief and radical than any others ever
offered to the public.
