Fig. 1. Fig. 2. Fig. 1 shows the chair in its normal position, ready for use in examinations or operations, without any further preparation or ar ranging, before the patient is seated. It is of graceful design, and its appearance is not suggestive of its real uses. With this chair the operator can easily and quickly get his patient into any position desired, without their co-operation and without moving from his position at the right of the chair. For any examination or operation about the head, eye, ear, mouth or throat, the semi-reclining position gives excellent access. For those upon the trunk or extremities, the full reclining (Fig. 2.) is excellent, being thirty inches high, twenty-two wide, and over six feet long. The lithotomy and dorsal position (Fig. 3) are so easily and quickly obtained that the exposure is scarcely realized by the patient, the hips resting on the front edge of the seat without hand. ling the patient in the least, except to place the feet upon the stirrups. With this chair, either the right or left lateral positions are obtained with the greatest facility, the drop leaf or side extension supporting the feet in either case, and the seat elevating the hips automatically, gives this excellent position in less time than it takes to describe it. In conclusion, the various claims for superiority are: Ist. The various positions are obtainable after the patient is seated, while all other chairs and lounges must be elevated and arranged, and the patient afterwards lifted or assisted to climb into position, or eleva ted by means of a screw, or rack and pinion movement. 2nd. It is easily and noiselessly operated, presenting a striking contrast to other chairs in which the seat is raised by means of a crank and the back lowered by complicated and noisy ratchets. 3rd. The patient is brought into position with the hips at the edge of the seat, without being lifted forward or moved in any manner. 4th. The stirrups, by their simplicity of construction and automatic action, are the most convenient and quickest adjusted. 5th. It is complete in construction, and simple in its operation, requiring no extras to be fitted and adjusted when desired for use. 6th. It folds up compactly for transportation. Feeling confident we have an article unequalled in its adaptation to uses for which it is intended, we ask a careful examination. Any further information desired, will be cheerfully furnished on application. Over seventy-five separate and distinct positions besides numerous combinations and modifications are easily secured with this chair. SEND FOR CIRCULAR AND MENTION THIS JOURNAL. ADDRESS, F. E. YOUNG.
