    DELAYED MENOPAUSE. Its Dangers and Therapeutic Indications. With a Table Showing the Approximate Age when the Menopause Should Be Established * By A. Ernest Gallant, M. D., New York, Surgeon to the Baptist Deaconess Horne and Training School; Sur- geon in Chief to the Amity Dispensary and Jones Memorial Clinic; Consulting Surgeon, Jamaica Hospital, and the Eastern Long Island Hospital, Greenport, N. Y. The menopause or cessation of menstruation in the healthy woman, like “grandfather’s clock shpuld stop short never to go again” at an age ratio de- pendent on the age of its inception, late if begun early, early if begun late; but as so few women who are free from symptoms and apparently healthy at “the change of life” apply for pelvic examination, accurate data on which to base the real, normal rela- tion of the beginning and ending of the menses are extremely difficult to secure. I have therefore worked out the following table of “approximate ages” as a practical schedule for estimating the probable debut of the menopause and the age limit beyond which no woman should be permitted to go on menstruating without a thorough examination. ‘Read before the American Therapeutical Society at its eleventh annual meeting in Washington, D.
