Some time ago one of your readers (on the subject of enemas) mentioned a drawing glorifying (?) the administration of an enema which he said was famous, and he asked that you locate and print it.

From the wording I inferred that he had not seen it but wanted to. There is a relatively new book (in German) on this subject with 186 illustrations (drawings) depicting the giving of enemas. Almost surely the item solicited is among this collection.

I think it likely that most university medical school libraries will have it. The title is : Kallipygos und Askulap, and the author's name is Friedrich von Zglinicki.

The first part of the book (on excellent paper throughout) is a descriptive catalog of the illustrations; the second part consists of the actual illustrations themselves. And even thought the book was published in the 1970's, the drawings represent pproximately the period 1700-1850 as best as I can judge it. A few more ancient illustrations are included.
