Volume 2 · 157 words · 1771 Edition

the forcibly throwing certain liquid medicines into the body, by means of a syringe, tube, clyster-pipe, or the like.

Anatomical Injection, the filling the vessels with some coloured substance, in order to make their figures and ramifications visible.

For this purpose, a fine red injection is prepared thus: pour a pint of oil of turpentine on three ounces of vermilion, stir them well together, and then strain all through a fine linen cloth. If a green injection is wanted, distilled verdigrease may be used instead of the vermilion.

A coarse injection may be made of one pound of tallow, five ounces of white-wax, three ounces of oil of olives, melted together, and adding two ounces of venice-turpentine; and when this is dissolved, three ounces of vermilion or verdigrease are to be thoroughly mixed with the other ingredients, and the whole strained through a linen cloth.
