    Hiblert's Improvements in Medicinal Compounds. through the tubes u. Above the solution there is a sieve or perforated plate v, on which there is a layer of charcoal, coke, or other material saturated with the solution through which the disinfected air passes into the chamber x, at the top of which there is a cap y having as many tubes z as required, to which 5 tubes are attached the inhaling tubes of respirators similar to that shewn in Fig. 4. When used for cattle there is only one large aperture at the top attached to a pipe leading to the muzzle or pad, Figs. 1 and 2. I have also another self-acting respirator for the nostrils constructed similar to the one before described, and which may be used either separately or com- 10 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 and outlet tubes, whether for the mouth or nose, the latter forming an important desideratum to medical men and others visiting hospitals, or other places infected by the presence of decaying or decomposed animal or vegetable 15 matter. Having now described the nature and particulars of my said Invention I desire it to be understood that I claim, the various combinations of dis¬ infecting and medicinal matters, and the several arrangements of mechanical apparatus, applied either separately or in any combination, for the prevention SO or cure of contagious and other diseases to which human beings and animals are subject, as herein described and illustrated in the accompanying Sheet of Drawings. In witness whereof, I, the said William Hibbert, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Seventeenth day of July, in the year of our Lord 25 One thousand eight hundred and sixty-six. WILLIAM HIBBERT. (l.s.) Signed, sealed, and delivered by the within-named William Hibbert, in the presence of 30 E. J. Hughes, Patent Agent, Manchester.
