    2 A.D. 1873.—N° 2751. Provisional Specification. Villiers Sf Mayer's Apparatus for Impregnating Air for the Lungs, 8fC. may be distributed amongst the matters in that vessel to absorb gas therefrom. This impregnated air thence passes away by another tube, by which and a suitable mouth piece it may be inhaled by a consumptive or other patient, or by adopting other forms of outlet the impregnated air may be forced into a wound or other opening. 5 Tor the supply of oxygen we employ camphor of Borneo combined with either rosin from cedar or from spruce, fir, or essence of canella, or turpentine or cachou (Japan earth), or Italian essence, or Royal essence, or American white turpentine, or Media’s turpentine, or Chios, (or Greek) turpentine, or maritime spruce fir turpentine. 10 In the respective cases we combine the matters in equal proportions but we do not confine ourselves thereto, and then having well mixed the particular combination we subject it to a heating process for purification.
