Description

This is a non working Replica intended for Display only.
MAW'S DOUBLE VALVED
EARTHENWARE INHALER
Original use (not the replica) was for the inhalation of vapour of Hot Water, either alone or impregnated with Ether, Chloriform, Henbane, Creosote, Vinegar, etc, in affections of the throat and bronchial tubes, Asthma, Consumption, etc. For this apparatus, is especially adapted for Chloriform, Ether and other active volatile substances, as from its construction the exact quantity required may be inhaled. The lower valve opens only during inhalation, whilst the exhaled breath passes freely from the upper valve, instead of through the vessel, dissipating a large portion of the medicated vapour, as is the case in the use of most other inhalers.
Size is 9 inches tall by 5 inches wide.  A fun piece to display and I pay shipping!
