    fully warrant my application of the above expression to these diseases. It may be objected that I have been guilty of a serious omission in not devoting a special chapter to the consi- deration of Metritis, which forms such an extensive sub- ject in the French works; but in answer I must confess that I have not seen inflammation of the womb in the unimpregnated state as a primary disease, although as an effect and symptom of other conditions it is common enough. And it has been my endeavor, whenever I have alluded to an inflammatory state of the uterus, to show that, in most cases, where the cause of it has been correctly ascertained and properly treated, this, like many other effects, will subside without trouble. As further illustrations of the subject to which this work is devoted, I have occasionally referred to the series of cases which I have published in the Medical Times during the last twelve years.
