in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:—
The present invention relates to a smoke enema apparatus for use with animals
suffering from complaints requiring treatment by smoke injection-for instance
colic and wind dropsy.
This present apparatus is distinguished from those heretofore usually employed
by the simplicity of its construction and by its easy manipulation.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which :-
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the apparatus.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the body, and
Fig. 3 is a section on the line x-x of Fig. 2.
The apparatus consists of the body a which is made rigid or non-compressible of
any suitable material such as wood, metal, fireclay, etc., and which may or may not
be provided with a handle bas desired.
If the body be made of combustible material there is inserted in it a lining c of
non-combustible material and in either case this chamber is fitted with a strainer d
towards the nozzle or outlet end in order to arrest any unburnt particles of tobacco
that may be carried along by the air blown into the apparatus.
The body is closed at one end or at both ends by enclosing caps or covers e
attached thereon by means of a bayonet joint (pin and crank-shaped slot connection)
screw thread etc.
The covers e are formed at their ends with nipples or junction pieces fupon
which flexible tubes g are mounted the forward one of which terminates in a nozzle
or injection piece of any suitable material whilst the rear tube carries a mouth-
piece or inlet for the reception of a bellows or collapsible ball (or connection
therefrom) for the purpose of blowing air into the apparatus.
A mouthpiece is shown in the drawings for blowing from the mouth of the
operator.
When it is desired to give an enema to an animal tobacco is placed in the body a
of the apparatus and ignited by any suitable means such as a live coal tinder etc.
Then the nozzle or injection piece is introduced into the anus of the animal to be
treated and air is then blown into the body a of the apparatus thus forcing the
smoke into the animal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
1. A smoke enema apparatus consisting of a non-compressing or rigid com-
bustion chamber of any suitable material size and shape and either with or without
a handle thereon, a cap or cover tightly closing one end of said chamber and
adapted to be readily removed to give access to the interior of said chamber a cap
or cover adapted to tightly close the other end of said chamber and either
detachable therefrom or not as desired, a nipple on each said cap respectively a
tube adapted at one end to fit tightly on to said nipple and at its other end having
a suitable injection piece thereon and another tube adapted at one end to fit the
other said nipple and at its other end to receive air pressure froin a force pump or

and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
2. A smoke enema apparatus arranged constructed and combined substantially
in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
drawings hereunto annexed.
