AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS JUST TALK

AAARGH........TOBACCO SMOKE ENEMA 1750=1810



NO KIDDING
its a set of bellows with instruments and apparently was used for quite a few medical problems
primarily the resuscitation of drowning victims(I'm just killing myself laughing)....a tube was introduced into the anus...the warmth of the smoke was meant to help bring you around.......but thats what led to the phrase...BLOW SMOKE UP YOUR buttercup...............HAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHA.......TOOOOOOOOOOOO TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY :cowboyhound.gi

Dang - I want to see the pic! No wonder people died so young....LOL

Ya, a friend of mine sent me that article with a picture of the bellows in a wooden box. I was like...."WHAAAAAAT???"

There you go JJ!! :-)

Where in the Bleeding heart do you find this useless (and yet soooo entertaining) info JJ? I must admit that I feel much smarter now though, knowing where the expression "blow the smoke up yer arse" came from.

THANKS LIGHTNING FOR POSTING THE PICTURE.............AND HOW THE Bleeding heart DID TAMMY GET AWAY WITH SAYING pixie!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll: :roll: :devil5.gif:
