    growth is evidently uterine, is freely moveable and toler- ably painless to touch. The cervix uteri is displaced forward towards the pubes ; from the open condition of the os it is possible to feel an elastic tumour growing from the posterior wall of the uterus and projecting into the cavity. A bruit is heard over the tumour. The sound passes for four inches. Outliue of tumour. Shaded part showing area of bruit. The woman was kept under observation for a few weeks, during which time there was occasionally free hemor- rhage and a good deal of vomiting. On August 25th there was some diarrhoea and the tongue was dry and fever present. (The temperature chart shows the extent of this.)
