    the catheter is m the membranous portion, all the fluid can be injected through the prostatic urethra without difficulty, since the catheter is already partly within the external sphincter, which therefore offers no resist- ance. If the point of the catheter, however, reaches only the bulbous portion, then the fluid can- not be driven through the prostatic portion even un- der strong pressure; it will either flow out beside the catheter, or will pain- fully distend the urethra. These injections through the prostatic urethra should be given once every day, or, at least, every other day. For the first and second injection I use 100 grammes (a syringe full) of a 1-4 to 1-2 per cent, solution of carbolic acid, then I change to a 1-2 per cent, [sulphate of ] zinc solu- tion ; and, as soon as the patients bear the injection well, I increase Fig. 4. — Ultzmann's Syringe-catheter.
