1. A syringe for injecting a plurality of liquids into a patient in predetermined sequence, said syringe comprising:
- a main body portion having a plurality of barrels therein, each of said barrels being adapted to contain an injectable liquid;
a plunger in each barrel for injection of said liquid;
a valve body portion below said main body portion, said valve body portion having a manually operable valve therein and a free space on the outlet side of said valve for receiving said injectable liquids,said valve being movable successively to a plurality of positions so as to place each of said barrels in communication with said free space in a predetermined sequence;
means for preventing movement of said valve in a sequence other than the predetermined sequence, whereby dispensing of liquids in an incorrect order is prevented; and
a needle in communication with said free space for injecting said liquids into a patient.

7. A syringe for injecting a pair of liquids into a patient in predetermined sequence, said syringe comprising:
-
a body; two barrels in said body, each of said barrels being adapted to contain an injectable liquid; a plunger in each barrel for injection of said liquid; a manually operable slide valve in said body for controlling the dispensing of the respective liquids from said barrels, said valve being slidable between two positions, the first position permitting dispensing of medication from the first barrel and the second position permitting dispensing of medication from the second barrel; a locking pin, said locking pin being positioned initially so as to prevent movement of said valve and being moved at the completion of dispensing liquid from the first barrel to a position which permits movement of said valve; a cavity in said body on the outlet side of said valve for receiving said liquids; and a needle in communication with said cavity for injecting said liquids into a patient.
