    Junod's Impts, in Vacuum Apparatus for the Relief of Inflammatory Diseases. the exhausting apparatus may be actuated and regulated (so as to maintain the vacuum at one uniform pressure) by means of a descending weight arranged in order to actuate the air pump when required, or the vacuum may be obtained and regulated by other arrangements of mechanism if desired. In place of employing an ordinary air pump worked by hand the air may be 5 exhausted by means of expanding and collapsing bellows actuated by the foot of the patient or otherwise. The vacuum apparatus previously described according to my improvements affords the following advantages, namely :—Considerable reduction of cost; economy of time in its application; prevention of pain to the patient j with 10 compactness of form so as to render it very portable.
