The passage e is about 1 mm. in length and from 0À75 to 1 -5 mm. in diameter so that the contained liquid exudes therefrom when the tip is passed over the skin in contact therewith. In a modification the container is constructed after the manner of a sac self-filling pen, and in a further modification the barrel is divided by a central transverse partition and is fitted with a nozzle and. cap at each end. According to the Provisional Specification the indiarubber pad h may be omitted and a joint made between an inclined annular surface on the tip d and a shoulder within the cap g.
