 ounce ; difsolve it in four quarts of linseed

 rectum with a bladder and pipe: it in general 

 answers any intention of stimulating clysters.

Take linseed, half a pound ; boil it in five 

 quarts of water, until it is reduced to four 

 quarts : strain it through a coarse cloth for

 mild lubricating clyster is required.
