Force Feeding Take great care to prevent choking and the gag reflex! Hi Lady Alex, Came across this very useful little device for 'force feeding'. Only $4.95 but it can be made with a normal syringe and nipple for greater capacity. The ones I have made so far are 60ml and 100ml and both are just as effective as the store one. Thanks for a great site, Betty
Dear Lady A Thought you may be interested in favourite item of mine, a force feeding gag. The pacifier bulb will fill up and liquid fills my mouth. The act of swallowing cause my mouth to clamp down on the bulb which squeezes the liquid out. This creates a natural cycle which causes me to drink down the liquid in pretty rapid order.   I make sure whatever I am drinking is properly liquefied. I used very runner Gerbers single grain oatmeal or run soap through the food processor (adding extra water) to make sure it it of the right consistency. I will also add water to baby food to make sure it will flow down well. Michael H http://www.petcompany.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Rubber_55.html http://takingthelead.co.uk/catalog/index.php Dear Sirs I hope your visitors find the following useful? This Force Feeding Gag is very effective as it delivers to the rear of the wearers mouth. The delivery tube is stiffened to prevent the wearers tongue from bending and so crimping the tube and perforated to again prevent the wearers tongue stopping the flow by blocking the main delivery exit. The gag is easily made if you have access to an electric drill and suitable sized twist bit sized just smaller than your delivery tube. Tip -Make sure you miss the main strap through the ball or use epoxy to re-secure if you hit it. In the picture I have shown a gate valve being used to regulate the flow and I would recommend an enema container as the reservoir. Simple and very effective. If you need any additional details please contact me. Emma T 
Suffragettes-Votes for Women The Daily Mirror (UK) reports on Emmeline Pankhurst :- I was sentenced to six weeks after I refused to be bound over to keep the peace. Leaving Bow street court and Holloway waits. The prison reeks of the odours of generations and continues to be the stuffiest and draughtiest building I have ever been in. The cells were about nine-foot high and either 13 foot long by 7 foot long or 10 foot long by 6 foot long. The cells vary in size in different parts of the prison. The window is about four-foot by two foot and is place high, near the ceiling. The bed is made of wood; the mattresses and pillow are filled with a kind of grass and are very hard. There is a pair of narrow sheets, two narrow blankets and a woollen quilt. Fitted in the corner of the cell is a shelf. Upon this is a black tin pint pot for the prisoners gruel, a wooden spoon, wooden salt cellar, a piece of soap and a red card case containing an abstract of prison rules and a prayer card. Underneath this, is a shelf on which the mattress is put, rolled up and fastened on a button and loop. Bedding folded in four and balanced on top of the mattress. All this the prisoner will be shown to do in the morning and expected to keep in order. 
"Very well, I have no other course than to compel you to take food by force."
I was roughly pulled to my feet, a chair had been brought and I was made to
sit down.
I clenched my teeth.
"Very well" he signalled to a group of wardresses, I was seized and held down,
each one held an arm or my feet, they grasped my head back.
The doctor leant on my knees as he scooped over; I see hairs sprouting from
his nose.
I shut my mouth, tightly. He tried all around my mouth with a steel gag to
find an opening. He was annoyed at my resistance, broke into a temper and
slapped my check, hard. I screamed! Quickly he pushed in the horrid instrument
and prised open my mouth to its widest extent.
Ahhh! The pain was intense.
He pushed down the tube into my mouth, which seemed to me much to wide. The
moment it touched my throat I began to choke and gagged. It was most painful
with a burning, tearing sensation that stretched to the end of my breastbone,
my eardrums see to be bursting like a waterfall. As he held the end of the
funnel and poured a brownish milky liquid into it. My distended stomach
heaved. Pain, sore throat, searing tender membrane burning, burning.
Thunder in my head. No more, No more, No more. But the pain increased as the
tube was withdrawn as if a hand were wrenching out the back of my throat. My
body revolts. Retching I spray my captors and myself with vomit.
The torture was barbaric; twice a day thereafter they fed me in this way.
I was not allowed to leave my cell as I am subject to "Hospital treatment"
Before long I heard the sounds of force-feeding in the next cell
It was almost more that I could bear, as the ghastly process was over
Silence hangs in the air with the musty meek odour.
Emily Davison In the
evening the matron, two doctors, and five or six wardresses entered the cell.
The doctor said "I am going to feed you by force." The scene, which followed,
will haunt me with its horror all my life, and is almost indescribable. While
they held me flat, the elder doctor tried all round my mouth with a steel gag
to find an opening. On the right side of my mouth two teeth are missing; this
gap he found, pushed in the horrid instrument, and prised open my mouth to its
widest extent. Then a wardress poured liquid down my throat out of a tin
enamelled cup. What it was I cannot say, but there was some medicament, which
was foul to the last degree. As I would not swallow the stuff and jerked it
out with my tongue, the doctor pinched my nose and somehow gripped my tongue
with the gag. The torture was barbaric.
Perth Prison Doctor
"...The ladies would have to be restrained, their hands and
legs would be tied or held and the nose and mouth clamped. The tube forced
down and then left until they felt that they had to attempt to swallow this
tube. This would require a number of people. I can't imagine anything more
unpleasant than force feeding in these circumstances with the crude methods
they were using in these days. Well in modern surgical practice we would pass
a small fine-bore tube into the stomach , make sure it was there and with a
willing, obliging patient we can feed that way. The ladies suffragette
situation was entirely different and they probably used something just like
this (a funnel with a tube attached). The ladies were unwilling, this had to
be passed forcibly and it would get down only half-way down the
gullet then the food was put in the hopper. To make sure the ladies didn't
vomit it up or regurgitate it they tried to pinch their nose and they also put
a gag on.
