Pneumatic Massage.

A, curious application of the air pump,
devised by DR.. Breuillard Of France, which
is intended as substitute for ordinary mas
sage In producing a regular and continuous
traction OF the skin and subjacent tissues is
described By Science News
The instruments consist Of an elliptical
piece of soft rubber, c, with cavity hol-
lowed out on the under side. This cavity
has two small openings, a and B, the latter
being prolonged into a tube which connects
with a flexible rubber pipe, T. This is at
tached to an air pump, ', which may be of
any desired pattern, although the water
pumps which can be attached to any water
faucet, and is continuous and automatic in
operation, is 70 be preferred, from its con-
venience and cheapnesS.
To operate the apparatus the hollow piece
of rubber-the ventouse, as Dr. BreuilIard
calls its pressed firmly against the body of
the patient and the sir pump started. When

resumes its natural condition The ventouse
is TO be moved over the body as the operator
desires, and by replacing or removing the
finger over the opening a. the flesh and skin
may be manipulated 10 any extent, and in
much more regular and thorough manner
than can be done By the hand. The
proper amount Of pressure TO be applied
varies in different cases, but the av-
erage vacuum should be equal 70
that Of a column of mercury about eighteen
inches high, OF two-thirds Of a perfect
vacuum. A pressure gauge is unnecessary,

invention is certainly an ingenious one, and
