The injection should consist of cold water, or, if that disagree, of tepid water; in some cases it may also be requisite to add a table-spoonful of olive oil. The quantity of water necessary for the different ages may, under ordinary circumstances, be stated to be twelve ounces for an adult; six or eight ounces for a youth of ten or fifteen ; three or four ounces, for a child between one and five years of age; and about one ounce for an infant at birth, or soon after.
