F--Flexible Tube to which is attached as they may be needed, the different Pipes. G--Pipe for Injecting the Bowels of Adults. H--Small Pipe for Injecting the Bowels of Children. I--Vaginal Tube, (for Female Uses.) DIRECTIONS FOR USE--FOR SELF-ADMINISTRATION. The Elastic Bag A should be clasped by the right hand, the end of the metallic tube D resting in the basin containing the fluid intended for use, the left hand being employed in directing the terminal tube G. By compressing the Bag with the hand and then loosening the grasp, it will immediately fill itself with the fluid. By the next compression of the hand upon the Bag, the fluid thus drawn into the Instrument will be forced through the Flexible Tube, and out of the terminal Pipe. By this means either a large or small quantity of fluid can be used without any difficulty or any alteration of the Instrument whatever. FOR INJECTING THE BOWELS OF CHILDREN. Use the small Pipe H. FOR FEMALE USES. Attach the Pipe I. (For further particulars see Pages 22 to 37 inclusive.) THE VALVES, AND THE CARE OF THE SAME. These consist of small _Metallic Balls_, and are operated in an Improved Chamber or cavity, which allows them to always work well in any position, and without that liability to stick and become wedged, which is the case with all valves of different form. They are pronounced by the most eminent judges to be greatly superior to the _flat India_ _Rubber or Leather Valves_, which are so soon acted upon by the fluid as to become utterly useless as well as being often drawn into the body of the Instrument, thereby preventing its working, and causing great perplexion. N. B. After using any thick injection, all sediment which have collected in the Valve Chambers, C and E, should be thoroughly removed, as it may cause an obstruction to the workings of the Valves. ☞ Be careful and not put the Instrument away wet, or it will injure the Box. THE FLEXIBLE TUBE. The reader will observe that the couplings to which the Flexible Tube is attached is made with a neck which is inserted into the orifice of the tube, the compression of which, when on, holds it firmly in its place. If the Flexible Tube should at any time be injured so as to be unfit for use, a new one can be obtained of the Proprietor, or his Agents, and forwarded to any place by Express or Mail, and it can be readily attached by any person. N. B. Price of Flexible Tube 25 cents. ☞ For Formulas for injections, see pages 22 to 37 inclusive. BUSINESS NOTICE.
