An early example dates from 1832, when he commented on a paper on the <a href="/wiki/Copper_sulphate" class="mw-redirect" title="Copper sulphate">copper sulphate</a> test for <a href="/wiki/Arsenic_poisoning" title="Arsenic poisoning">arsenic poisoning</a>, delivered by his future brother-in-law R. H. Brett to the Pupils' Physical Society. Bird criticised the test's positive result when a green precipitate was formed,<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> claiming the test was inconclusive because precipitates other than <a href="/wiki/Copper_arsenite" class="mw-redirect" title="Copper arsenite">copper arsenite</a> can produce the same green colour.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Bird did not limit himself to challenging his future brother-in-law. In 1834, Bird and Brett published a paper on the analysis of blood serum and urine, in which they argued against some work by Prout. Prout had said (in 1819) that the pink sediment in urine was due to the presence of <a href="/wiki/Ammonium_purpurate" class="mw-redirect" title="Ammonium purpurate">ammonium purpurate</a>, but Bird's tests failed to verify this. Though Bird was still only a student and Prout held great authority, Prout felt it necessary to reply to the challenge. In 1843, Bird tried to identify the pink compound; he failed, but was convinced it was a new chemical and gave it the name <i>purpurine</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This name did not stick, however, and the compound became known as <a href="/wiki/Uroerythrin" title="Uroerythrin">uroerythrin</a> from the work of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Franz_Simon_(chemist)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Franz Simon (chemist) (page does not exist)">Franz Simon</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Its structure was identified only in 1975.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Around 1839, recognising Bird's abilities in chemistry, Astley Cooper asked him to contribute to his book on breast disease.

Bird realised this, but continued to divide his apparatus into electrical machines, which (according to him) delivered a high voltage at low current, and galvanic apparatus, which delivered a high current at low voltage. The galvanic equipment available to Bird included <a href="/wiki/Electrochemical_cell" title="Electrochemical cell">electrochemical cells</a> such as the <a href="/wiki/Voltaic_pile" title="Voltaic pile">voltaic pile</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Daniell_cell" title="Daniell cell">Daniell cell</a>, a variant of which Bird devised himself. Also part of the standard equipment were <a href="/wiki/Induction_coil" title="Induction coil">induction coils</a> which, together with an interrupter circuit, were used with one of the electrochemical cells to deliver an electric shock.

Galvanic cells suffered from the inconvenience of having to deal with the <a href="/wiki/Electrolyte" title="Electrolyte">electrolyte</a> acids in the surgery and the possibility of spillages; electrostatic generators required a great deal of skill and attention to keep them working successfully. Electromagnetic machines, on the other hand, have neither of these drawbacks; the only criticism levelled by Bird was that the cheaper machines could only deliver an <a href="/wiki/Alternating_current" title="Alternating current">alternating current</a>. For medical use, particularly when treating a problem with nerves, a unidirectional current of a particular polarity was often needed, requiring the machine to have <a href="/wiki/Commutator_(electric)" title="Commutator (electric)">split rings</a> or similar mechanisms. However, Bird considered alternating current machines suitable for cases of <a href="/wiki/Amenorrh%C5%93a" class="mw-redirect" title="Amenorrhœa">amenorrhœa</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Therapeutic_34-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Therapeutic-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The required direction of current depended on the direction in which electric current was thought to flow in nerves in the human or animal body. For motor functions, for instance, the flow was taken to be from the centre towards the muscles at the extremities, so artificial electrical stimulation needed to be in the same direction. For sensory nerves, the opposite applied: flow was from the extremity to the centre, and the positive electrode would be applied to the extremity. This principle was demonstrated by Bird in an experiment with a living frog. A supply of frogs was usually on hand, as they were used in the <a href="/wiki/Frog_galvanoscope" title="Frog galvanoscope">frog galvanoscope</a>. The electromagnetic <a href="/wiki/Galvanometer" title="Galvanometer">galvanometer</a> was available at the time, but frogs' legs were still used by Bird because of their much greater sensitivity to small currents. In the experiment, the frog's leg was almost completely severed from its body, leaving only the <a href="/wiki/Sciatic_nerve" title="Sciatic nerve">sciatic nerve</a> connected, and electric current was then applied from the body to the leg. Convulsions of the leg were seen when the muscle was stimulated. Reversing the current, however, produced no movement of the muscle, merely croaks of pain from the frog. In his lectures, Bird describes many experiments with a similar aim on human sensory organs. In one experiment by Grapengiesser,<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> for instance, electric current is passed through the subject's head from ear to ear, causing a sound to be hallucinated. The ear connected to the positive terminal hears a louder sound than that connected to the negative.<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Bird designed his own <a href="/wiki/Interrupter" title="Interrupter">interrupter</a> circuit for delivering shocks to patients from a voltaic cell through an induction coil. Previously, the interrupter had been a mechanical device requiring the physician to turn a cog wheel or employ an assistant to do so. Bird wished to free his hands to apply the electricity more exactly to the required part of the patient. His interrupter worked automatically by magnetic induction at a reasonably fast rate.<sup id="cite_ref-Bird1838Phil.Mag_38-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bird1838Phil.Mag-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The faster the interrupter switches, the more frequently an electric shock is delivered to the patient; the aim is to make the frequency as high as possible.<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Bird's interrupter had the medically disadvantageous feature that current was supplied in opposite directions during the <a href="/wiki/Switch#Contacts" title="Switch">make and break</a> operations.

One was the <a href="/wiki/Electric_bath_(electrotherapy)" title="Electric bath (electrotherapy)">electric bath</a>, which consisted of sitting the patient on an insulated stool with glass legs and connecting the patient to one <a href="/wiki/Electrode" title="Electrode">electrode</a>, usually the positive one, of an electrostatic machine. The patient's skin became charged as if he or she were in a "bath of electricity". The second class of treatment could be performed while the patient was in the electric bath. This consisted of bringing a negative electrode close to the patient, usually near the spine, causing sparks to be produced between the electrode and the patient. Electrodes of various shapes were available for different medical purposes and places of application on the body. Treatment was applied in several sessions of around five minutes, often blistering the skin. The third class of treatment was electric shock therapy, in which an electric shock was delivered from a galvanic battery (later electromagnetic generators) via an induction coil to greatly increase the voltage. It was also possible to deliver electric shocks from the charge stored in a Leyden jar, but this was a much weaker shock.<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Electric stimulation treatment was used to treat nervous disorders where the nervous system was unable to stimulate a required glandular secretion or muscle activity. It had previously been successfully used to treat some forms of asthma. Bird used his apparatus to treat <a href="/wiki/Sydenham%27s_chorea" title="Sydenham's chorea">Sydenham's chorea</a> (St Vitus's dance) and other forms of <a href="/wiki/Spasm" title="Spasm">spasm</a>, some forms of paralysis (although the treatment was of no use where nerves had been physically damaged), <a href="/wiki/Opiate" title="Opiate">opiate</a> overdose (since it kept the patient awake), bringing on <a href="/wiki/Menstruation" title="Menstruation">menstruation</a> where this had failed (<a href="/wiki/Amenorrhoea" class="mw-redirect" title="Amenorrhoea">amenorrhoea</a>), and <a href="/wiki/Hysteria" title="Hysteria">hysteria</a>, a supposed disease of women.

Although the treatment worked, in that it caused the bladder to empty, Bird suspected in many cases it did so more through fear and pain than any therapeutic property of electricity.<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Electric shock treatment had become fashionable among the public, but often was not favoured by physicians except as a last resort. Its popularity led to many inappropriate treatments, and fraudulent practitioners were widespread. Quack practitioners claimed the treatment as a cure for almost anything, regardless of its effectiveness, and made large sums of money from it. Bird, however, continued to stand by the treatment when properly administered. He convinced an initially sceptical Addison of its merits, and the first publication (in 1837) describing the work of the electrifying unit was authored by Addison, not Bird, although Bird is clearly, and rightly, credited by Addison. Having the paper authored by Addison did a great deal to gain acceptability in a still suspicious medical fraternity. Addison held great authority, whereas Bird at this stage was unknown. Bird's 1841 paper in <i>Guy's Hospital Reports</i> contained an impressively long list of successful case studies. In 1847 he brought the subject fully into the realm of <i>materia medica</i> when he delivered the annual lecture to the Royal College of Physicians on this subject. He spoke out tirelessly against the numerous quack practitioners, in one case exposing railway telegraph operators who were claiming to be medical electricians, although they had no medical training at all. In this way, Bird was largely responsible for the rehabilitation of electrical treatment among medical practitioners. His work, with Addison's support, together with the increasing ease of using the machines as the technology progressed, brought the treatment into wider use in the medical profession.<sup id="cite_ref-Therapeutic_34-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Therapeutic-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Electric_moxa"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Electric_moxa">Electric moxa</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Golding_Bird&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Electric moxa"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Bird invented the <i>electric moxa</i> in 1843.

The electric moxa, however, was not intended for acupuncture. It was used to produce a <a href="/wiki/Suppuration" class="mw-redirect" title="Suppuration">suppurating</a> sore on the skin of the patient to treat some conditions of inflammation and congestion by the technique of <a href="/wiki/Counterirritant" title="Counterirritant">counter-irritation</a>. The sore had previously been created by much more painful means, such as <a href="/wiki/Cautery" class="mw-redirect" title="Cautery">cautery</a> or even burning charcoal. Bird's design was based on a modification of an existing instrument for the local electrical treatment of <a href="/wiki/Hemiplegia" class="mw-redirect" title="Hemiplegia">hemiplegia</a>, and consisted of a silver electrode and a zinc electrode connected by copper wire. Two small blisters were produced on the skin, to which the two electrodes were then connected and held in place for a few days. Electricity was generated by electrolytic action with body fluids. The blister under the silver electrode healed, but the one under the zinc electrode produced the required suppurating sore.<sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>44<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The healing of the blister under the silver electrode was of no importance for a counter-irritation procedure, but it suggested to Bird that the electric moxa might be used for treating obstinate <a href="/wiki/Leg_ulcer" class="mw-redirect" title="Leg ulcer">leg ulcers</a>. This was a common complaint among the working classes in Bird's time, and hospitals could not admit the majority of cases for treatment. The moxa improved the situation by enabling those affected to be treated as outpatients. The silver electrode of the moxa was applied to the ulcer to be healed, while the zinc electrode was applied a few inches away to a place where the upper layer of skin had been cut away. The whole apparatus was then bandaged in place as before. The technique was successfully applied by others on Bird's recommendation. <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Spencer_Wells" title="Thomas Spencer Wells">Thomas Wells</a> later discovered that it was unnecessary to damage the skin under the zinc plate.

Bird was given a sample of this machine in 1851 and was impressed enough to give Pulvermacher a testimonial stating that the machine was a useful source of electricity. Bird thought that it could be used by physicians as a portable device. Electrically, the machine worked like a voltaic pile constructed from wooden <a href="/wiki/Dowel" title="Dowel">dowels</a>, each with a <a href="/wiki/Bifilar_coil" title="Bifilar coil">bifilar winding</a> of copper and zinc coils. Each winding was connected to the next dowel by means of metal hooks and eyes, which also provided the electrical connection.

When Pulvermacher's company did so, Bird suffered some criticism for unprofessional behaviour, although it was never suggested that Bird benefited financially, and Bird stated in his defence that the testimonial was only ever intended as a letter of introduction to physicians in Edinburgh. Bird was particularly upset that Pulvermacher's company had used quotations from Bird's publications about the benefits of electrical treatment and misrepresented them as describing benefits of Pulvermacher's product. Bird also criticised Pulvermacher's claim that the chain could be wrapped around an affected limb for medical treatment. Although the flexible nature of its design lent itself to wrapping, Bird said that it would be next to useless in this configuration. According to Bird, the patient's body would provide a conductive path across each cell, thus preventing the device from building up a medically useful voltage at its terminals.<sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Electrochemistry">Electrochemistry</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Golding_Bird&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Electrochemistry"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Bird used his position as head of the department of electricity and galvanism to further his research efforts and to aid him in teaching his students.

The new process involved injecting arsenic into the blood vessels of the corpse. Snow found that the arsenic became airborne as a result of chemical reactions with the decomposing corpse, and this was how it was ingested. Bird's part in the candle investigation was to analyse the arsenic content of the candles, which he found to have recently been greatly increased by the manufacturers. Bird also confirmed by experiment that the arsenic became airborne when the candles were burnt. The investigators exposed various species of animal and bird to the candles in controlled conditions. The animals all survived, but the birds died. Bird investigated the bird deaths and analysed the bodies, finding small amounts of arsenic. No arsenic was found on the feathers, however, indicating that poisoning was not caused by breathing airborne arsenic, since arsenic in the air would be expected to adhere to the feathers. Bird found that large amounts of arsenic were in the birds' drinking water, indicating that this was the route taken by the poison.<sup id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Carbon_monoxide_poisoning">Carbon monoxide poisoning</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Golding_Bird&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Carbon monoxide poisoning"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Although it had been known how to prepare <a href="/wiki/Carbon_monoxide" title="Carbon monoxide">carbon monoxide</a> since 1776, it was not at first recognised that <a href="/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_poisoning" title="Carbon monoxide poisoning">carbon monoxide poisoning</a> was the mechanism of death and injury from stoves burning <a href="/wiki/Carbon" title="Carbon">carbonaceous</a> fuels. A coroner's inquest into the death in 1838 of James Trickey, a nightwatchman who had spent all night by a new type of charcoal burning stove in <a href="/wiki/St_Michael,_Cornhill" title="St Michael, Cornhill">St Michael, Cornhill</a>, concluded that the poison involved was carbonic acid (that is, <a href="/wiki/Carbon_dioxide" title="Carbon dioxide">carbon dioxide</a>) rather than carbon monoxide. Both Bird and Snow gave evidence to the inquest supporting poisoning by carbonic acid. Bird himself started to suffer ill effects while collecting air samples from the floor near the stove. However, the makers of the stove, Harper and Joyce, produced a string of their own expert witnesses, who convinced the jury to decide that death was caused by <a href="/wiki/Apoplexy" title="Apoplexy">apoplexy</a>, and that "impure air" was only a contributing factor. Among the unscientific claims made at the inquest by Harper and Joyce were that carbonic gas would rise to the ceiling (in fact it is heavier than air and, according to Bird, would lie in a layer close to the floor, just where the sleeping Trickey's head would rest) and that "deleterious vapour" from the coffins in the vaults had risen into the church. After the inquest Joyce threatened to sue a journal which continued to criticise the stove for its lack of ventilation. In a subsequent clarification, Bird made it clear that any stove burning carbonaceous fuel was dangerous if it did not have a chimney or other means of ventilation. In fact, Trickey had only been placed in the church in the first place at the suggestion of Harper, who was expecting him to give favourable reports of the new stove's performance.<sup id="cite_ref-56" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-57" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Bird read a paper to the Senior Physical Society in 1839, reporting on tests he conducted of the effects on sparrows of poisoning by carbonaceous fumes.

Some people do have an excess of oxalate in their urine and form calcium oxalate stones because of that; this can be related to diet, hereditary factors or intestinal diseases. Today we know the most common type of kidney stones are calcium oxalate (about 74%), calcium phosphate, (about 20%), and uric acid (about 4% overall but more common in obese people and those with gout).<sup id="cite_ref-63" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-63"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>63<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In his great work <i>Urinary Deposits</i>, Bird devotes much space to the identification of chemicals in urine by microscopic examination of the appearance of crystals in it.

In the fourth edition Bird added a recommendation to wash out the bladder in cases of alkaline urine, after an experiment by Snow showed that stale urine became alkaline when fresh urine was slowly dripped into it.

The environment and the activity of the patient thus played a large part in any treatment. The epitome of this kind of thinking was the concept of the <a href="/wiki/Vitalism" title="Vitalism">vital force</a>, which was supposed to govern the chemical processes within the body. This theory held that organic compounds could only be formed within living organisms, where the vital force could come into play. This belief had been known to be false ever since <a href="/wiki/Friedrich_W%C3%B6hler" title="Friedrich Wöhler">Friedrich Wöhler</a> succeeded in synthesising <a href="/wiki/Urea" title="Urea">urea</a> from inorganic precursors in 1828. Nevertheless, the vital force continued to be invoked to explain organic chemistry in Bird's time. Sometime in the middle of the 19th century, a new way of thinking started to take shape, especially among younger physicians, fuelled by rapid advances in the understanding of chemistry. For the first time, it became possible to identify specific chemical reactions with specific organs of the body, and to trace their effects through the various functional relations of the organs and the exchanges between them.<sup id="cite_ref-67" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-67"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>67<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Among these younger radicals were Bird and Snow; among the old school was <a href="/wiki/William_Addison_(physician)" title="William Addison (physician)">William Addison</a> (a different person from Bird's superior at Guy's). Addison disliked the modern reliance on laboratory and theoretical results favoured by the new generation, and challenged <a href="/wiki/Richard_Bright_(physician)" title="Richard Bright (physician)">Richard Bright</a> (who gave his name to <a href="/wiki/Bright%27s_disease" title="Bright's disease">Bright's disease</a>) when Bright suggested that the source of the problem in <a href="/wiki/Oedema" class="mw-redirect" title="Oedema">oedema</a> was the kidneys. Addison preferred to believe that the condition was caused by intemperance or some other external factor, and that since the whole body had been disrupted, it could not be localised to a specific organ. Addison further challenged Bright's student, Snow, when in 1839 Snow suggested from case studies and laboratory analysis that oedema was associated with an increase in <a href="/wiki/Albumin" title="Albumin">albumin</a> in the blood. Addison dismissed this as a mere <a href="/wiki/Epiphenomenon" title="Epiphenomenon">epiphenomenon</a>. Bird disagreed with Snow's proposed treatment, but his arguments clearly show him to be on the radical side of the debate, and he completely avoided whole-body arguments. Snow had found that the proportion of urea in the urine of his patients was low and concluded from this that urea was accumulating in the blood, and therefore proposed <a href="/wiki/Bloodletting" title="Bloodletting">bloodletting</a> to counter this. Bird disputed that increased urea in the blood was the cause of kidney disease and doubted the effectiveness of this treatment, citing the results of <a href="/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Magendie" title="François Magendie">François Magendie</a>, who had injected urea into the blood, apparently with no ill effects. It is not clear whether Bird accepted Snow's reasoning that urea must be accumulating, or whether he merely adopted it for the sake of argument; while a student in 1833, he had disputed this very point with another of Bright's students, George Rees.<sup id="cite_ref-68" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-68"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>68<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-69" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-69"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>69<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Justus_von_Liebig" title="Justus von Liebig">Justus von Liebig</a> is another important figure in the development of the new thinking, although his position is ambiguous. He explained chemical processes in the body in terms of addition and subtraction of simple molecules from a larger organic molecule, a concept that Bird followed in his own work but even the <a href="/wiki/Materialism" title="Materialism">materialistic</a> Liebig continued to invoke the vital force for processes inside <i>living</i> animal bodies. This seems to have been based on a belief that the entire living animal is required for these chemical processes to take place. Bird helped to dispel this kind of thinking by showing that specific chemistry is related to specific organs in the body rather than to the whole animal. He challenged some of Liebig's conclusions concerning animal chemistry. For example, Liebig had predicted that the ratio of uric acid to urea would depend on the level of activity of a species or individual; Bird showed this to be false. Bird also felt that it was not enough simply to count atoms as Liebig did, but that an explanation was also required as to why the atoms recombined in one particular way rather than any other. He made some attempts to provide this explanation by invoking the electric force, rather than the vital force, based on his own experiments in electrolysis.<sup id="cite_ref-70" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-70"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>70<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Flexible_stethoscope">Flexible stethoscope</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Golding_Bird&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Flexible stethoscope"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bird_stethoscope.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="historical drawing" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Bird_stethoscope.jpg/150px-Bird_stethoscope.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="270" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/Bird_stethoscope.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="223" data-file-height="402" /></a><figcaption>Bird's flexible stethoscope</figcaption></figure> <p>Bird designed and used a flexible tube <a href="/wiki/Stethoscope" title="Stethoscope">stethoscope</a> in June 1840, and in the same year he published the first description of such an instrument.

Clendinning and Stroud), which he describes as the "snake <a href="/wiki/Ear_trumpet" title="Ear trumpet">ear trumpet</a>". He thought this instrument had some severe technical faults; in particular, its great length led to poor performance. The form of Bird's invention is similar to the modern stethoscope, except that it has only one earpiece. An ill-tempered exchange of letters occurred in the <i>London Medical Gazette</i> between another physician, John Burne, and Bird. Burne claimed that he also used the same instrument as Clendinning and Stroud and was offended that Bird had not mentioned him in his paper. Burne, who worked at the Westminster Hospital, pointed with suspicion to the fact that Bird's brother Frederic also worked there.

It proved to be spectacularly popular, even beyond its intended audience of medical students, and went through six editions. Reprints were still being produced more than 30 years later in 1868. The fourth edition was edited by Charles Brooke, a friend of Bird's, after the latter's death. Brooke made good many of Bird's mathematical omissions.

In the 1843 second edition Bird expanded the material on electrolysis into its own chapter, reworked the polarised light material, added two chapters on "thermotics" (<a href="/wiki/Thermodynamics" title="Thermodynamics">thermodynamics</a> – a major omission from the first edition), and a chapter on the new technology of photography. Later editions also included a chapter on <a href="/wiki/Electric_telegraph" class="mw-redirect" title="Electric telegraph">electric telegraphy</a>. Brooke was still expanding the book for the sixth and final edition. New material included the magnetic properties of iron in ships and <a href="/wiki/Spectroscopy" title="Spectroscopy">spectrum analysis</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-77" class="reference"><a
