It was also good for a toothache and other pain reducing uses!

Robert H. You are correct - hence the name "Enema Bag". My mom would fill it with warm soapy water (this was in the early to mid 50's), grease up the end with petroliun jelly and "fill you up". It also doubled as a hot water bottle and for douching.
I remember the rubber bag as I used it to ease pain from a bad tooth and other problems, but as to using Castor Oil, I do not think Mom ever gave me or any of my siblings such a thing!

Yes! It had another use that, thankfully, as kids we didn't know about.
