British Sanitary Company c.1900 RCPSG/1/20/14/33 Dr. Nelson's Improved Inhaler This inhaler was originally invented by Dr. Nelson in the 1860s, however the model pictured here dates from the 1930s. The instrument was used to treat several chest conditions, including influenza and the common cold. Boiling water would have been placed in the vessel and the patient would inhale the steam through a mouthpiece to relieve symptoms. This inhaler is still in use today. <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/1195">Dr Nelson's Improved Inhaler; 1861-; Inhaler manufacturer</a> c. 1930-1940s 2000/3.76 Artificial Pneumothorax Wooden box containing metal pump, regulating valve, aneroid manometer and filter., all components of Maxwell's Artificial Pneumothorax Apparatus. An Artificial Pneumothorax would have been used as a method of treating Tuberculosis. This condition is caused by the bacterium Myobacterium Tuberculosis, targetting the lungs of the body. Before a TB vaccination was in place, "Collapse Therapy" was used to treat patients with the condition. This therapy aimed to induce a pneumothorax, (collapsed lung), in order to give the lungs some rest. The artificial pneumothorax instrument enabled the physician to pump air into the serous lining of the lungs, increasing the pressure, and resulting in a compression of the lungs. This technique was phased out after the development of the antibiotic streptomycin. c. 20th Century 2015/2.2
