_Obs._ This quantity is sufficient for 10 or 12 clysters for children
under 1 year; 5 or 6 for those under 3 years; and 2 or 3 for those under
7. Two clysters are prescribed daily in hooping-cough. According to M.
Reiken, this is more successful in removing hooping-cough than any other
remedy. To ensure success, it should not be administered until the
feverish symptoms have passed. M. Reiken sometimes uses an ointment of
assaf[oe]tida as well as the clyster.
