    Salmons Improved Catheters and Bougies. and thoroughly suturated therewith ; they are then taken out, and when cold rolled on a slab or table to make them smooth and straight. After this they are to be coated with other composition, medicated or not, by dipping them as in the making of candles, or by laying the composition on hot with a brush; 5 after which it only requires to be again somewhat rolled on the slab, and polished up by passing through the hand; and bougies being so constructed will bear using many times. In this bougie the only parts claimed by me are its basis, and determining its flexibility and manner of coating it. To any peculiar coating or covering I make no claim, altho’ from this mode of con- 10 struction a facility arises of medicating certain parts of the bougie to be applied where it may be wanted. In witness whereof, I, the said Robert Salmon, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Seventeenth day of October, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixteen. 15 ROBERT (l.s.)
