A new type of inhalatiou apparatus, kuown as tlie nasal oxygen mask, worked by Dr. Boothby aud his associates in connection with extensive oxygeu therapy work, was usetL

The mask was developeil particularly for av!ators aud alr travelers, as a meaus of efficlent ,comfortable s=afp nnd eeonomiea! adminJstration of ox.vge«, permittlng the big trans !P«rt plunes. partlcularly those traveliftg over the Rockj Mountaiu area t to move at aTtltudes from 15,000 to 20,000 feet, without danger to those aboard who might have a weak heart.

It is a type that leaves the moutb free, a deeided advantage wheu used by patieuts for prolouged periods. The iuask' allows the paUent to o!\t oud carry on couversu t!on t von whlle tiibiug oxygeu.

Most lmportant feature of the exi>erinueut £n»m Dr. Gouid's obServa tiug was the fact that seasick passeugers «er« ahle to retaio food foliowinj» the treatmeut.
