We have carefully examined the steam generator connected with The Adams Inhaler, we find it not only correct in principle, but perfectly safe in practical use. Excess of pressure is an impossibility, and the fact of the steam being superheated before being used in the spray jet, prevents, in a great measure, the dilution of the medicaments while it adds to its efficiency as an injector. The great portability of the apparatus, and above all, the marvel of its cheapness being^ conjoined with greatly increased efficiency, ought to make it exceedingly popular both with the medical profession and the public.

To distinguish the Instrument, I have named it after the Gentleman -under whose directions the first specimen was made; but at his request state that he has no. Interest whatever in its sale.
