When the patient feels a dragging sensation, or such symptoms as would indicate a prolapse (falling down) of the vaginal walls from weakness or relaxation of the columns and muscular tissue which give them support, then the Femina antiseptic uterine lotion should be used, as before described, with this difference, that double the quantity should be dissolved in the cupful of hot water, and then added to the half gallon of warm water of the same temperature and used in the same manner. When the Femina antiseptic uterine lotion is used in its double strength, the remedy loses nothing in its healing effect but becomes more astringent, strengthening, and disinfectant. Be sure that the nozzle of the syringe sweeps the entire vaginal cavity, and if the above quantity of fluid should not be sufficient to thoroughly cleanse the vagina, then use double the quantity of fluid. With this prescription I have cured cases of leucorrhœa of twenty years’ standing which had gone through the ordeal of all the different treatments that they were capable of undergoing. I would recommend to those patients who feel their wombs dragged down, the _knee-chest posture_, that means, to kneel down on the floor with the hips elevated as high as possible and the chest close down to the floor. This position rolls the abdominal organs upwards and forwards, and thus naturally draws the womb and vagina into their normal positions, much better than any mechanical appliance or operator can possibly accomplish it. It simply allows the relaxed organs, through the natural law of gravitation, to gravitate where they belong. It is necessary to retain this kneeling position for only ten or fifteen minutes, repeated twice a day, say night and morning, and the curative effect is truly wonderful. When I speak of the curative measures of displacements in general and of falling of the womb downwards and backwards in particular, I will give a detailed description of the knee-chest position. There should be a choice in selecting a vaginal syringe or a syringe for vaginal bathing. The “fountain syringe” has several objections that are insurmountable. In the first place, the quantity of fluid that is to be used is limited by the capacity of the reservoir, or in order to replenish it, the even tenor of the rinsing is disturbed. Another objection is, that the convenient peg upon which to hang it is not always present, or a shelf upon which to rest it not high enough; then there is not the control over the stream that is desirable, so that considerable confusion arises at times from the fluid wetting things that had better be kept dry. For these reasons I prefer a bulb syringe. CHAPTER XIV. HYGIENIC MEASURES FOR CATARRHAL DISEASES OF THE FEMALE ORGANS.
