I John Edward Schollar 17 Hargrave Road Upper Holloway London, N. Surgical Instrument Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:— An Improved hypodermic syringe. 5 This invention is a syringe with a glass or metal barrel with an asbestos packing for the piston. The needle being only about the eight of an inch long instead of an inch or more & is enclosed by a bell or cup shaped metal piece. The metal bell or cup prevents the escape of the fluid when an injection is made under the skin. The advantages claimed are—that only a point <fcnot a long needle is pushed or introduced 10 under the skin thus causing less pain. It can be used more expeditiously than the ordinary hypodermic syringe. 30th December 1887. JOHN EDWARD SCHOLLAR, 17, Hargrave Road, Upper Holloway, 15 London, N. | Price 6d.]
