README DOMESTIC MACHINES The great advantages resulting from the use of Read’s Patent Lavement Machines, are too well known and universally admitted by the Faculty to require further comment, as they are sanctioned by the highest Medical Authorities in the United Kingdom, the Continents of Europe, India, and America, as the best Instruments of the kind ever offered to the Public. The above are fitted with flexible tubes that will stand the test of any Chemicals and the hottest Climates. SELF ADMINISTRATION. 1st. with a Basin.
