Excerpt from The Treatment of Fibroid Tumors of the Uterus In the first case I removed-eleven successive tumors, after which the patient recovered and had no return. On December 27, 1860, I visited Mrs. T. W. S., aged 31 years. Menstrua tion for the first four years was small in quantity and free from pain, but after wards was accompanied with extreme agony during the first day. She married at the age of 24 years, in one year after gave birth to a child, and had a mis carriage afterwards. The menses were regular, having only missed the last period. In April, 1858, She first discovered something wrong in not being able to pass water. A large quantity was drawn away by the catheter, which opera tion had to be repeated. Several physicians saw her, and diagnosticated mal position of the womb, and very violent efforts were made to restore it to its normal position, but without effect. June, 1860, she had a sudden attack of severe pain, which so entirely disabled her that she could not walk for several weeks, suffering much of the time with the most dreadful bearing-down pains. After a period of intermission the expulsive pains again returned with extreme violence, and, on November 28, 1860, while using the catheter, she felt a tumor in the vagina which she supposed to be the womb. The pain now dimin iehed, but the Size Of the tumor gradually increased, and it finally protruded through the os externum. During the above period she had copious discharges from the vagina of bloody clots and a greenish, slimy, and offensive fluid, changing usually about twenty-five napkins in a day.
