Annie Besant, Mr. Charles Bradlaugh, and Dr. Before Connection. Insert suitable suppository. Place rubber pessary in position After Connection. Douche. Remove rubber pessary. Douche and dry parts. The use of rubber pessary does not do away with desirability of douching, but it does enable the woman to douche at her own convenience with safety. Dr.

It was remarkable that when the pessary was removed it was found to have largely retained its original wax covering. Hurxthal mentions the removal of a pessary which had been in the pelvis for forty-one years. Jackson speaks of a glove-pessary remaining in the vagina thirty-five years. Mackey reports the removal of a glass pessary after fifty-five years' incarceration.

A suppository introduced beforehand will dissolve and occupy the dotted space above rubber pessary, forming a pool around the mouth of the womb. The walls of the vagina are elastic and collapsible. Neither of these two methods in practical application by ordinary women can be said to be completely certain. Both are apt to fail at times.

Therefore, the soluble suppository and the rubber pessary should be used in combination. The rubber pessary must in the first instance be fitted by a doctor, because if it does not fit properly it will be ineffective. The seminal fluid may pass by its loose rim and impregnation may result.

It is understood that this is circular. The thickened rim retains this circular shape by means of enclosed spiral spring when the pessary is in position. Antiseptic Douching. If antiseptics of any kind are used, such as lysol, they should always be used in very very weak solutions, and should be varied from time to time.

A young bride came to her mother on returning from her honeymoon and said, "Mother, how long must we wait before having children is it really necessary to prevent them for a year or two? We are both dying to have babies." A young couple on the eve of marriage consulted a gynæcologist regarding the question of using the cap pessary to prevent the possibility of having children for a few years.

If this have not the desired effect, then the following plaster should be applied: Take an ounce and a half of balganum, two drachms of colocynth, half an ounce each of the juice of motherwort and of rue, and seven ounces of virgin bees' wax: pound and melt them together, spreading them on a cere-cloth so that they may spread from the navel to the os pubis and extending to the flanks, at the same time making a pessary of wood, enclosing it in a silk bag, and dipping it in a decoction of one drachm each of sound birthwort, savin colocinthis, stavescare and black hellebore, with a small sprig or two of rue.

Take two scruples each of sacopenium, mugwort, savine, cloves, nutmeg, bay berries; one drachm of galbanum; one scruple each of hiera piera and black hellebore, and make a pessary with turpentine.

If sponge or cotton-wool is used, it should be saturated in contraceptive lotion or smeared with contraceptive ointment before insertion. But always remember the rubber pessary is cleanest and safest. After Intercourse.

The completeness of the protection depends, of course, upon the proper application and combination of the measures advised. E. Lambert & Son, of 60, Queen's Road, Dalston, London, E.8, the rubber spring pessary was first suggested here by an English doctor, and manufactured for him by Mr. E. Lambert Sen.
