- "Hot dry air, one of the most valuable of therapeutic adjuncts, was, for a time, relegated to comparative obscurity for the want of safe and scientific means to apply it at any temperature up to 400 degrees F. The means have been secured after years of labor by Mr. V.M. Sprague, of New York City" -- p. [5].
