Minor surgical gynecology : a manual of uterine diagnosis and the lesser technicalities of gynecological practice : for the use of the advanced student and general practitioner . Fig. 145.—Bumsteads intra-uterine syringe. double current catheter, through which he injected several ounces ormore of medicated water, beginning with plain water to test the catheter is almost identical with that of Skene for the bladder. It is better to make all intra-uterine injections on the back, ratherthan in the semiprone position, because the escape of the fluid is facili-tated in the dorsal position, and there is less likelihood of the fluid passinginto the Fallopian tubes. The frequency ot strong intra-uterine injections will conform entirelyto the necessities of the case and the general rules given under applica-tions. A use of intra-uterine injections which cannot be classed under thesame category as those treated of here, is for the cure of sterility by in-.

The same pre-cautions should be observed as in therapeutic injections, so far as gentle-ness and slowness of expression of the fluid is concerned; but it is notcustomary to dilate the uterus beforehand. Still, if the canal were ab-normally narrow, the injection even of semen would be quite as hazardousas of a chemical agent. For, even a few drops of pure water or glycerinehave produced severe uterine colic. 4. Medicated tents or bougies.—With the view of avoiding the expres-sion of the agent while it is passed through the cervical canal and of es-caping the dangers inherent to uterine injections; with the object, there-fore, of combining efficiency, safety, and ease of application, and of avoid-ing the tedious and always somewhat hazardous preliminary dilatationof the uterine canal, the device was adopted, years ago, of incorporatingthe medicines in some solub
