I also employ, when desired, another filter of similar con¬ struction to the above for disinfecting the exhaled air before it passes into the atmosphere. For feeding I partition off the front part of the stall with an opening to 5- admit the head, which opening is enclosed by air proof or disinfecting cloth surrounding the neck of the animal, the purified air being supplied by a valve connected with the air chamber, and the exhaled air passes through a valve into the above-named disinfecting filter before its arrival into the open air. The above appliances procure isolation of the respiratory organs. 10 For safe removal or perambulation I couple to the valves short tubes with disinfecting filters inserted therein,. one for the prevention, of receiving the infected air and the other to prevent its communicating infection.. My method for preventing contagion being communicated or received through the medium of the skin is by clothing, surrounding, or bandaging the 15 animal with, cloth or other suitable material impregnated with the above-named disinfecting solution, or solutions, or by impregnating the skin with the same, by which isolation from the infection, of. the atmosphere by which they are surrounded is obtained. Small doses of the said solution occasionally given to healthy animals will lessen the violence of an attack of rinderpest or other 20 contagious disease,, if not throw off the influence altogether without isolation. My general adaptation of the auxiliary lung respirator consists in varying the conformation and material to suit the comfort, convenience and appearance of human beings, the principle of supply and outlet valves, filters, and the rest being the same as that for animals.. 25 I have also another self-acting respirator for the nostrils, constructed similarly to the one, before described, and which may be used either separately or com¬ bined with the one for the mouth, or I put two separate tubes in the nostrils for the same purpose. Medicating and disinfecting filters are inserted in the SUpply tube whether for the mouth, or nose, the latter forming an important 30 desideratum to medical men and others visiting hospitals or other places infected by the presence of decaying or decomposed animal or vegetable matter.- t .
