Menstruation commences, as we have seen, usually at the age of from
fourteen to fifteen years.


                     AGE AT WHICH THE MENSES CEASE.

The age at which the menstrual function ceases is somewhat various. The
average has been regarded in this country as being at about forty-four
or forty-five years of age. It is, at least, so with the community at
large. In seventy-seven cases quoted by Dr. Maunsel, of Dublin, the
period was as follows:

                        1 at the age of 35 years.
                        4       „       40   „
                        1       „       42   „
                        1       „       43   „
                        3       „       44   „
                        4       „       45   „
                        3       „       47   „
                       10       „       48   „
                        7       „       49   „
                       26       „       50   „
                        2       „       51   „
                        7       „       52   „
                        2       „       53   „
                        2       „       54   „

Dr. Guy gives a table showing the ages at which 443 persons ceased
menstruating, 337 having been collected and communicated to him by Dr.
James Reed, and 106 by himself. The table is as follows:

                        1 at the age of 34 years.
                        3       „       35   „
