| Seven young women suffering from gastric ulcer were fed entirely on nutrient enemata for six or seven days. |
|
| The enemata were given six-hourly, and consisted of two eggs or 200 c.cm. of milk and eggs, dextrose, normal saline, and in one case cod-liver oil. |
|
| The bowels should be kept well opened, and for this purpose warm abundant enemata are of great and special service. |
|
| Some patients may need assistance with defaecation in the form of suppositories or enemata, whilst others may need a colostomy as a result of cancer of the colon. |
