Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Medical Review, Vol. 1: January 1, 1895 I have modified the canula and attachment of the Potain aspirator bv enlarging the lumen to permit the easy passage of No. 3 drainage tubing. I have had the tube of the canula constructed of platinum. It may thus be used with the positive pole and I have added a second stop-cock, which renders it independent of the reservoir. As the use of chemical solutions corrodes metal parts, I employ for injection a second bottle, with tubes of glass leading to and from it. I have also furnished it with a third tube to facilitate the introduction of the solution. Provision is also made for emptying the sac after treatment without polluting the contents of reservoir.
