This, by filling the blood-vessels, enables the patient to withstand the loss of blood. After an operation shock and hemorrhage are counteracted by its use, and at the same time the thirst is relieved and restlessness quieted. In septic conditions, both local and general, by diluting the toxic materials in the circulation and promoting their excretion by the skin, kidneys, and bowels, saline rectal injections play an important part in the treatment.

Many procedures have been devised to keep the water Fig. 170.--Modification of Dewitt's appliance for regulating flow, and allowing escape of flatus. (Crandon and Ehrenfried.) at an even temperature.
