Sick syphon, circa 1820 C018 / 7132
Silver sick syphon dating from around 1820, England. This was essentially a straw through which the invalid (or elderly person) could suck liquid food. The perforated end prevented large pieces of food from entering the tube which may cause choking. The hook, mid-way up the tube was designed to clip over the edge a cup containing the food to hold the sick syphon in place

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Sick Syphon, dating back to around 1820 in England. Crafted from silver, this antique device was ingeniously designed as a feeding aid for invalids or elderly individuals. Serving as a straw-like instrument, it allowed them to safely consume liquid food without the risk of choking. The syphon's perforated end acted as a barrier against large food particles entering the tube, ensuring smooth and safe ingestion. To keep it securely in place during use, a cleverly placed hook midway up the tube could be clipped over the edge of a cup containing the nourishing meal. Against an enchanting blue background, this image transports us back to an era where care and nursing were paramount. It serves as a poignant reminder of how healthcare has evolved throughout centuries and highlights our ancestors' dedication to providing comfort and support for those who needed it most. As we admire this nineteenth-century treasure with awe and admiration, let us appreciate its significance not only as an exquisite historical artifact but also as evidence of humanity's unwavering commitment to caring for one another through innovation and compassion.
