Upon a liquid obligation, or even as an aclioii commenced 

 by a creditor for making good a claim not yet fullained by 

 the judge ; which laft is called " inhibition upon a depend- 

 ing- action."' Although inhibitions, by their uniform ftyle, 

 d^l ible the debtor from felling his moveable as well as his 

 heritable ellate, their effeft has been long limited to heritage, 

 fiom the interruption that fuch an embargo upon moveables 

 n-.ii.l have given to commerce; fo that debts, contracted after 

 inhibition, may be the foundation of diligence againll the 

 debtor's perfon and moveable eftate. An inhibition fecures 

 the inhibitor againft the alienation, not only of lands that 

 belonged to his debtor, when he was inhibited, but of thofe 

 which he Ihall afterwards acquire ; but no inhibition can 

 extend to fuch after-purchafes as lie in a jurifdi£tion where 

 the inhibition was not regiftered ; for it could not have ex- 

 tended to thofe though they had been. made prior to the in- 

 hibition. An inhibition is fimply prohibitory ; fo that the 

 debt on which it proceeds, continues perfoiial after the dili- 

 gence. The heir of the perfon inhibited is not reilrained 

 from alienation by the diligence ufed againft his auceflor, 

 for the prohibition is perfonal, affecting only the debtor 

 againft whom the diligence is ufed. Inhibitions do not of 

 themfelves make void the pofterior debts or deeds of the 

 perfon prohibited. When payment is made by the debtor 

 to the inhibitor, the inhibition is faid to be " purged." 



INHOC, or IxHOKE, in our Old Writers, is ufed for any 

 corner or part of a common field ploughed up and fowed 

 with oats, &c. and fometimes fenced in with a dry hedge 

 in that year wherein the reft of the fame field lies fallow 

 and common. It is called in the North of England an iiitoci, 

 and in Oxfordfhire a hitchlri. And no fuch tnhoke is now 

 made without the joint confent of all the commoners, who 

 in moft places have llieir fhare by lot in the benefit of it, 

 except in fome manors where the lord has a fpecial privilege 

 in fo doing. Rennet's Paroch. Antiq. 297, &c. and his

INJECTION, in Anatomy, is the art of filling the blood- 

 vefTels or other hollow organs of the dead body witli various 

 fubftances, for the purpofe of inveiligating tlieir ftructure, 

 lituation, &c. or for difplaying any facts connected with 

 thefe fubjccls by fubfequent artificial preparation. See 

 PliEPAR.VTloxs, Anatomical. 



Injection, in Pharmacy, any liquid medicine made to 

 be injected or thrown into the body, or any of its parts, by 

 a fyringe, clyfter-pipe, or other inftrumcnt. 



Injection, or InjtP.ing, in Stu-gcry, the throwing in 

 fome liquor or medicine into a vein opened by incifion. This 

 praftice, and that of transfufion, or the conveying the 

 arterial blood of one man, or other animal, into another, 

 were once greatly praclifed, but are now laid afide. 



The method of injefting is thij : a veiil is to be opened in

the arm with a lancet as in bleeding, and a fmall pipe of ^ 

 fynnge being introduced at the orifice, the liquor intended 

 to be mixed with the blood, and contained f . that purpofe 

 in the body of the fyringe is to be forcibly injcded, or 

 thrown into the vein upwards, or toward tlie heart ; wliich 

 done, the orifice is to be fecured with comprelfcs and ban- 

 dages as in bleeding. 



Whether this practice of injefting proper medicines into 

 the blood may not be found of ufe in apoplexies, quinfics, 

 hydrophobia, &c. is worthy to be tried by repeated experi- 

 ments. The method of injefting liquors 'into the blood of 

 living animals, is faid to be the invention of fir Chriftopher 

 Wren. His method was by making ligatures on the veins, 

 and opening them on the fide of the ligature towards the 

 heart : then putting into them fmall fyringes or quills faf- 

 tened to bladders in the manner of clyfter-pipes, containing 

 the matter to be injefted. Mr. Boyle foon made the expe- 

 riment upon dogs, with infufions of opium and crocus me- 

 tallorum ; all which he circumftnntially defcribed, in his 

 Ufefulnefs of Experimental Philofophy, part ii. eff 1

Many dilorders of particular parts are no way curable, 

 unlefs the parts affected are injefted with a proper liquor by 

 means of a fyringe and proper tube. The method of per- 

 forming this is too obvious to need any direftions ; but thefe 

 general cautions are ncceffary in regard to it, that the fyringe 

 or tube be applied tenderly and carefully to the parts, efpe- 

 cially in very fenfible or nervous parts, to avoid giving the 

 patient any pain ; and that the liquor to be injected be nei- 

 ther too hot nor too cold. 



In ulcerations and inflammations of the uvula, tonfils, and 

 fauces, injcftions are generally ufeful : but care muft be 

 taken to prefs down the tongue with a fpatula, or with the 

 flat end of a fpoon, and having introduced the fyringe two 

 or three fingers breadth into the mouth, the injection is to be 

 carefully and gently thrown in at feveral times. In gonor- 

 rha;as, injections are often ncceffary to allay the heat 

 and forenefs of the urethra, and to wafh out the matter. 

 The fafeft and beft injeftions on this occafion are warm milk 

 and barley-water, fweetened with fugar, honey, or fyrup 

 of marfhmallows ; and towards the end a little faccharum 

 faturni, diffolved in plantane water.
