    It is not uncommon, after an acute illness, for young women to complain of ovarian pain. The nervous system is weak, and the ovary becomes painful because it is the weakest spot. Mild counter-irritation, with rest, liberal diet, and tonics, removes this pain in a few days. Possibly if this pain were left untreated, it might become inveterate. My experience is limited to cases of these two kinds—(a) long- standing pain dating back to an illness; (b) recent pain quickly cured. I have not seen the one pass into the other.
