This article presents the history of the "Duke-Fingard" domestic medical vaporizer. It considers the emergence of this Canadian device out of Rudolph Duke and David Fingard's larger institutional inhalation treatment system, and seeks to trace and explain the medical, social, commercial and cultural influences that shaped its subsequent sale, use of electricity, and design. What emerges through this synchronic and microhistorical analysis is a more concrete sense of the practice of domestic medicine during a transformative period of Canadian medical history.
本文介绍了“杜克-芬加德”家用医用蒸发器的历史。它探讨了这款加拿大设备如何从鲁道夫·杜克和大卫·芬加德更大规模的机构吸入治疗系统中衍生出来，并试图追溯和解释塑造其后续销售、电力使用和设计的医学、社会、商业和文化影响。通过这种共时性和微观历史分析，我们对加拿大医学史上一个变革时期的家庭医学实践有了更具体的认识。
