Pulmonary Complaints.
I ARTHUR CHARLES HENDERSON of 46 Southampton Buildings, Holborn in the
county of Middlesex, and of 31 Lincoln Place Leinster Street Dublin, Patent Agent
do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN GAS
to be as
INJECTORS FOR THE TREATMENT AND RELIEF OF PULMONARY COMPLAINTS
follows:-
دو
The object of this invention is the injection of different gises, charged with
medicinal properties according to the method of Dr. Burgeon.
The apparatus for effecting this object, and forming the subject of this invention
consists of the following parts viz. :
A square or other shaped flask or jar closed with an india rubber bung pierced with
two holes, in one of which is a funnel, the pipe of which descends nearly to the bottom
of the jar, whilst in the other hole a bent metal pipe is inserted, the lower part of this
pipe only just projects beyond the bung whilst to the upper part an india rubber tube
is connected, the opposite end of this latter is attached to a clarifying pipe. This
consists of a tube with central enlargement in which two other tubes are situated, one
being for the conduct of the gas, the other for its liberation. On the vertical portion
of this pipe at its upper part is an india rubber bung, which fits into the gas purifying
vase, this pipe is furnished with a socket having an india rubber valve which allows
the
gas to pass into the purifying vessel. On the socket is an india rubber tube
having a valve at its lower end. The purifying vessel is filled with mineral water
into which some medicament or medical powders are placed.

The gas reaches the clarifying tube from the main branch is washed and escapes by
the small tube to fill the bag or reservoir.
In the second operation the tube is removed and a tube with a pear or other shaped
ball is connected to it, this ball has two valves one at each end, and on compressing
this ball the gas is drawn from the bag or reservoir, and forced into the cleansing
vessel, whence it passes by the small pipe in the bung into the medicated liquid
contained in the purifier, thence it is conducted by another pipe or tube fitted at its
end with an injecting mouth piece.

1 ARTHUR CHARLES HENDERSON of 46, Southampton Buildings, Holborn in the
county of Middlesex and of 31, Lincoln Place, Leinster Street, Dublin, Patent Agent
do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN GAS INJECTORS
FOR THE TREATMENT AND RELIEF OF PULMONARY COMPLAINTS, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement. A communication to me from abroad by Doctor Victor Morel
of Lyon in the Republic of France :-
The object of this invention is the injection of different gases charged with
medicinal properties according to the method of Dr. Burgeon.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings represents a side view of the complete
apparatus, the gas bag empty.
Fig. 2 is a similar view the gas bag being full.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the stopper and conducting tubes shown on a larger
scale for the better explanation of this part of the apparatus which consists of the
following parts viz. :
A square or other shaped flask or jar A, in which the gas is generated, closed with
an india rubber or other bung A', pierced with two holes, in one of which is a funnel B,
the pipe or tube B', of which descends nearly to the bottom of the jar, whilst in the
other hole a bent metal pipe C, is inserted, the lower part of this pipe just projects
beyond the bottom of the bung, whilst to the upper part an india rubber tube D, is
connected, the opposite end of this tube is attached to a clarifying pipe E this consists
of a tube with central enlargement E³, vide Fig. 3, in which two other tubes are
situated, one E2 being for the conduct of the gas, the other E³, for its liberation or
delivery to the gas bag G. On the vertical portion of this pipe, at its upper part is
an india rubber bung or stopper E, which fits into the gas purifying vase F, this
pipe E, is furnished at its lower end with a socket Es, having an india rubber valve,
which allows the gas to pass into the purifying vessel F.
The purifying vessel F, is filled with mineral water, into which some medicament
or medical powders are placed. The gas reaches the clarifying tube E, from the main
or supply branch D, is washed and escapes by the small tube E³, to fill the bag or
reservoir G.
This bag being now filled with the requisite gas, a second operation is performed
which consist in the removal of the tube H, and in its place is substituted a tube with
a pear or other shaped ball I Fig. 2, this ball has two valves one at each end, not
shown in the drawings, and on compressing it in the hand the gas is sucked from
the bag G, by the play of these valves, and is forced into the clearing vessel to which
it passes by the pipe F, in the bung, into the medicated liquid contained in this

page_text: purifier F, thence it is conducted by another pipe or tube D, fitted at its end with an
injecting mouth piece D', to be used as required.
By the alternate action of these two valves effected by the pressure and relaxation
in the hand of the ball I, the gas is sucked from the bag G, and forced into the
purifier F, and is thence injected throught the mouth piece D.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :—
A gas generating and clarifying apparatus for the cure of pulmonary complaints,
consisting of a gasogene A, B, with tubes B¹, C, and D, in conjunction with the
purifying pipe E, with its tubes E2, E³, and purifying bottle or vase F, tube H and
gas bag G, doubled valve ball I and and injecting tube with mouth piece D², the
whole combined and arranged in the manner, and for the purposes precisely as herein
set forth.
