He would have me now and then to take a clyster, the same I did the other day, though I feel no pain, only to keep me loose, and instead of butter, which he would have to be salt butter, he would have me sometimes use two or three ounces of honey, at other times two or three ounces of Linseed oil. Thence to Mr.
Strain as little as ever I can backwards, remembering that my pain will come by and by, though in the very straining I do not feel it. Either by physic forward or by clyster backward or both ways to get an easy and plentiful going to stool and breaking of wind.
But, there! these preparatory digressions are the idle digressions and fastidious commentaries which certain unbelievers compel a man to wind about a tale, swaddling clothes about an infant when it should run about stark naked. May the great devil give them a clyster with his red-hot three-pronged fork. I am going on with my story now without further circumlocution.
Hulke reports a case remarkable for the immense size of the rupture which protruded from a spot weakened by a former abscess. There was a partial absence of the peritoneal sac, and the obstruction readily yielded to a clyster and laxative. The rupture had a transverse diameter of 14 1/2 inches, with a vertical diameter of 11 1/2 inches.
It happened that a French ship was wrecked off the Land's End, and the surgeon escaped, bearing with him his case of instruments, amongst which was an old-fashioned clyster apparatus; this article he presented to Davy, with whom he had become acquainted.
When he is two or three years old and upwards, a Candle suppository is better than a Soap suppository. The way of preparing it is as follows: Cut a piece of dip-tallow candle the length of three inches and insert it as you would a clyster pipe, about two inches up the fundament, allowing the remaining inch to be in sight, and there let the suppository remain until the bowels be opened.
It is occasionally administered in doses of from 10 to 15 grains in obstinate diarrhoea. In some obstinate cases, alum whey has been employed in the form of a clyster. 'Oxide of Antimony', in the form of a compound powder, and under the name of James's powder, is employed as a sudorific, or to cause a determination to the skin.
'tis fine reasoning, Sir indeed! Nor is it to be imagined, for the same reason, I should stop to inquire, whether love is a disease, or embroil myself with Rhasis and Dioscorides, whether the seat of it is in the brain or liver; because this would lead me on, to an examination of the two very opposite manners, in which patients have been treated the one, of Aoetius, who always begun with a cooling clyster of hempseed and bruised cucumbers; and followed on with thin potations of water-lilies and purslane to which he added a pinch of snuff, of the herb Hanea; and where Aoetius durst venture it, his topaz-ring.
Anon, about 8 o'clock, my wife did give me a clyster which Mr. Hollyard directed, viz., a pint of strong ale, 4 oz. of sugar, and 2 oz. of butter.
So we quietly remained and tended our sick and dying ones so well, that by night one of the worst was got on his legs again. We made them sick with hot water, butter, and mustard, and gave them injections with the clyster pipe as well; the only substance we could get out of them was the chewed-up Gyrostemon ramulosus, which, it being nearly dark, we had not observed when we camped.
