    Provisional Damoiseau s Improvements in Apparatus for Drawing Blood, Qc. blood or other liquid in the interior of the tube of the exploratory needle to take place, and thus prevent any coagulation or choking of the said tube or scarified openings, thereby allowing the blood or other liquid easier to pass through the said tube or through the said scarifications of the skin than when only a continuous sucking or exhausting of the air from the cupping glass was 5 to take place. In practice, I prefer to make use of a double-acting pneumatic or air- exhausting pump, connected by suitable elastic pipes with the air underneath the cupping glass, this latter being applied in the usual manner to that part of the body from which blood or other liquid is to be drawn off, the skin of 10 which part having been previously scarified or an exploratory needle intro¬ duced therein, provision being made for allowing alternately of drawing off a sufficient quantity of the air contained in the cupping glass, and afterwards to cause a sufficient quantity of air to enter therein.
