(Fig. 20.) This jar must,of course, have been rendered perfectlysterile in the same way as the glass traysfor the instruments. The gauze and plughaving been removed with due precautions,the cold salt solution is first poured intothe thermometer jar and then enough ofthe hot solution is added to raise it to theproper temperature. The thermometeraffords the best means of testing the tem-perature of the water, and the hand of the assistant or nurse should not berelied upon. Such loose determinations are inaccurate, and, what is moreimportant still, the hands may contaminate the fluid. This is a detail ofimportance, and the careful observance of it should be insisted upon. The solution is poured into the abdominal cavity directly from the glass.
