    DENTINAL DESICCATOK: 8. d. Dentinal Desiccator (Mr. Owens'), for drying cavities previous to stopping each 25 0 This Apparatus consists of a chamber made of tin covered with leather, mahogany top and bottom, held by means of brass rods and thumbscrews, and containing 6 to 7 ounces of chloride of calcium through which the air passes and becomes so perfectly dry that when, by pressure of the foot upon the indiarabber ball it is forced through the jet-tube or mouth-pipe into the cavity of the tooth, the cavity is deprived of all moisture, and is ready for the stopping. The air can be warmed, if necessary, by heating the bulb of the jet-tube or mouthpiece over a spirit-lamp. See British Journal of Dental Science for October, 1873. N.B.—Directions are sent with each Apparatus.
