 the world the ingredients may be obtained where the finished article is not 

 procurable. 



CLYSTERS, OR ENEMATA 



Clysters are intended either to relieve obstruction or spasm of the bowels, 

 and are of great service when properly applied. They may be made of 

 warm water or gruel, of which some quarts will be required in colic. They 

 should be thrown up with the proper syringe, provided with valves and a 

 flexible tube.
