The Fountain Bath is the product of necessity, effort, and long experience in accomplishing a definite purpose fully and properly. Figure 18 illustrates a large enamelled metal reservoir for water. Figure 21 shows a hard rubber combined enema and recurrent douche appliance for the application of water to the mucous membrane of the large intestine, the temperature of which should range from ninety to one hundred and thirty-five degrees or more. To one end of the handle is attached a hard rubber anal cone (Figure 27), inside of which is a valve (Figure 29), which is opened and closed by turning the handle, permitting the water to pass through the rectal point (Figure 25), or (Figure 26) into the bowels and return into the toilet basin without removing the point. At the other end of the handle is attached a glass reservoir for the use of oils. Figure 22 is a metal handle with a glass reservoir and a hard rubber anal cone. Figure 23 is a metal handle without glass reservoir, and both are intended for the use of water at a temperature of from ninety to one hundred and five or one hundred and ten degrees. A thermometer is absolutely necessary to determine the temperature of the water during its use as a depurent and antiphlogistic remedy. The heating appliance will keep the water at a desired temperature during its application, which is a very essential feature indeed. _Water Capacity._ The Fountain Bath reservoir holds three gallons of water, which is quite sufficient to meet all requirements of the various complicated cases of bowel and uterine troubles which require a generous supply of tepid or very hot water. This obviates any interruption in the use of the enema or the recurrent douche treatment until one or both are satisfactorily completed, and without changing one’s position on the toilet seat. It requires a quantity of water to irrigate the large intestine, which is some five feet long and two and a half inches in diameter. It is foolish to attempt to irrigate one end of a long, tortuous, foul sewer with one or two quarts of water and hope for good results. Water is cheap, then why not clean out and keep clean? _Adaptability._ For the first time in the history of enemata appliances can an enema, recurrent douche, or vaginal injection be taken with water at any desired temperature and at the same time be medicated with any remedy desired. External pressure against the anal orifice is regulated at will; also the flushing of the integument about the anus and buttocks is easily accomplished before leaving the toilet seat. _Convenience._
