    JBartlis Improvements in Administering Gases for Curative Purposes. Invention, and the manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into effect, I would observe, in conclusion, that I do not confine or restrict myself to the precise details or arrangements which I have had occasion to describe or refer to, as many variations may be made therefrom without 5 deviating from the principles or main features of my said Invention. But what I consider to be novel and original, and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the herein-before in part recited Letters Patent, is,— First, the general arrangement and construction of apparatus to be used for the supply of condensed gases for curative purposes, as herein-before 10 described. Second, the supplying of gas to be used for curative purposes in a portable form by compression in a strong vessel. Third, the attaching the vessel containing the condensed gas to any apparatus in which it can be measured and diluted, and from which it can be inhaled for 15 medical purposes. Fourth, the system or mode of including the vessel containing the condensed gas in the core or cylinder of the tank of the gasometer. Fifth, the application and use for medical inhalation of a bag of flexible material, instead of the gasometer herein-before described, in connextion with a 20 strong vessel to hold the condensed gas. In witness whereof, I, the said George Harman Barth, have hereunto set my hand and seal, the Fifteenth day of September, One thousand eight hundred and fifty-four. GEORGE HARMAN BARTH, (l.s.) LONDON : Printed by George Edward Eyre and William Spottiswoode, Printers to the Queen's most Excellent Majesty. 1854.
