INjections into the Bladder, * 1.1 are liquid Medecines which are injected into it through the urinary passage; in the use whereof, the whole art consists in injecting, for sometimes tis sufficient to cast in this Clyster by a Squirt, sometimes a Catheter which opens the way, as it were, and tis necessa∣ry to precede.
It happens also sometimes that there is need of injection into the Yard, namely, when it is either hurt by the stone, * 1.2 or troubled with paine, or the passage within is ulcerated; tis prepared of those things which are agreeable to the scope of the Physitian.
But not onely fluid Medecines are injected, but Unguents are cast in in this manner: Take a wax Candle, to which some Turpentine may be added, of that thicknesse and length which may answer to this passage and chanell, this Candle is bedaubed with an Oyntment, and is thrust in, but you must be carefull that the candle may be so prepared, and stick so long, that it may not melt with the heat of the yard; you may boyle also some convenient Plaister, and put the wax candle, or a little Instrument made of lead, into it.
