[B] It having been proved to Mr. Behnke that the use of the term
"_abdominal_" instead of "_diaphragmatic_" breathing led to
misconception and misrepresentation of his views on this important
subject, he discarded the words "abdominal breathing" and used only the
term "diaphragmatic breathing" in his teaching and writing. Will readers
kindly bear this in mind?--K. B.

[M] A "Laryngo-Phantom" has recently been brought out by Dr. Isenschmid
of Munich, which greatly facilitates this preliminary practice. It
consists of an imitation of the throat, the larynx, and the mouth, and
"is intended to familiarize students with as many of the details
connected with the use of the laryngoscope as it is possible to learn
before the application of the instrument to the living subject." A
number of little paintings representing different laryngoscopic
appearances may be slipped into this Phantom, unknown to the student,
who has to discover what has been done by the usual process. This
apparatus can therefore be strongly recommended as affording excellent
and constant practice. It may be had of Messrs. Krohne & Sesemann, 8,
Duke Street, Manchester Square, W., price L2 2s.
