Glycerine Syringes

Had been doing some research on glycerine & while there's numerous discussion about same there's zero content as to the means of delivery.

I've posted on them several times.

Same here Sean …but not in the context of a stand alone piece

Additionally I had in mind to add in what was known at the time was the 1..2..3 enema which it formed part of

Same piece was also used to deliver the oil & parrafin enema…..thereby negating the small bulb…which the oils would ruin.

The glycerin syringes I've seen are usually have a capacity of 30ml or less, more typically 15ml or less, as these small volumes are more than big enough to make any adult poo, even if constipated for several days.

The larger sized ones are simply ordinary piston syringes, used for giving babies and kids water or soapy water or foe adult bladder irrigation.

Nice pic. The glass barrel syringe is for glycerin; the others are for vaginal meds, I think.

@Sean the metal one was advertised to me as a 1940s glycerin syringe too, but you could be right. I can tell from experience that it can perfectly function in the capacity of a rectal syringe too 😉 The tip is cold at first, then warms up, and then becomes cold again as the liquid is slowly injected into the squirming patient…

My query about the non-glass syringe was not based on the material. I actually thought it was hard rubber from your pic. It was the bulbous tip on the nozzle, which is more typical of vaginal applicators.

Stainless glycerin syringes certainly existed, probably from a doctor's kit bag, because I have a vintage one.
