    CASE II. J. M., aged forty. April 3rd, 1842. Married seventeen years; no family; the catamenia, which were always regular, and never profuse, had first appeared at the age of twelve. Had now been afflicted for three months, in an extreme degree, and the discharge had been unusually profuse the day before she applied for relief; her pulse was feeble; there was no hearing down, nor pain. That the flow under these circumstances might he checked gradually, the minimum dose of the medicine was prescribed: after two days there was an amendment; in a week the haemorrhage, for such it was, had nearly ceased, and in ano- ther, entirely disappeared. The patient having remained free of all complaint till the end of May,, was then dismissed cured.
