Abstract

This apparatus was seen by one of us (DAW) in a private collection. Although it was one of the first ether inhalers to be manufactured commercially, and was described in the medical literature of the time, it is not mentioned in any of the histories of anaesthesia. Its genesis was unusual, and it presents a number of interesting features, not least being the purpose for which it was originally designed.
