notes: label: Description
content: “We have received from the makers, Messrs. Codman and Shurtleff, a new instrument for using atomized fluids, which appears to be very complete, simple and durable. The inventors claim that it cannot explode, unsolder, nor throw hot water jets instead of vapor. If its future use warrants the expectations its appearance would lead us to form of it, it will prove very popular and very useful. For its thorough work and durability, the price is very reasonable.” “The Complete Steam Atomizer,” The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal 2 (1869): 270. This steam atomizer is that sort. An inscription reads “. . . SHURTLEFF, Makers of Surgical and Dental Instruments, 13 and 15 Tremont St, Boston.”
