Site of Injection: The iliolumbar site {i. e., the space between thecrest of the ilium and the lower border of the ribs) possesses natural advantagesas the site of injection. The patient may thereby retain the dorsal positionand have the free use of all her limbs.

The technique of hypodermoclysis is as follows: The appa-ratus required is simple, consisting of a fountain syringe and an aspiratingor hypodermic needle (Fig. 1039). If an ordinary hypodermic needle is used,the bag of the fountain syringe must be raised to the height of from 4 to 6feet, because of the increased resistance of the fine lumen; and, generally speak-ing, the larger the needle, the lower the pressure required. Much time is wastedif a hypodermic needle is used. The average height to hang the bag, if amedium-sized aspirator is used, is two or three feet, depending on the rapidityof the flow. The fountain syringe and its tube, together with the needle used,should all be
