Sept. 2. She was discharged quite cured, all her hysterical symptoms having left her, and the tumour never having been seen since the day of operation. CASE IX. HYSTERIA—FIVE YEARS’ ILLNESS—STERILITY—OPERATION—CURE—PREGNANCY—TWO CHILDREN. Mrs. O. came under my care in 1862. She had been ill ever since marriage, five years previously; having distaste for the society of her husband, always laid upon the sofa, and under medical treatment. Evidence of peripheral excitement being manifest, I performed my usual operation. She rapidly lost all the hysterical symptoms which had previously existed; and in about a year came up to town to consult me concerning a tumour, which greatly frightened her, as she feared it was ovarian. I discovered that she was six months pregnant. She was delivered at full time of a healthy child. In 1865 she again called on me to show herself, not only in robust health, but pregnant for the second time. CASE X. HYSTERIA—IRRITATION OF RIGHT OVARY—MENORRHAGIA—NINE YEARS’ ILLNESS—OPERATION—CURE. C. M. A., æt. 28, single; admitted into the London Surgical Home June 22, 1863. _History._—Since the age of 19 has been more or less subject to uterine flooding; for the first three years lost blood every day. Has been five times in a metropolitan hospital; always better while there, but as bad as ever as soon as she left. The bleeding is much worse at each menstrual period. She passes large coagula; has constant pain in the back, headache, and palpitation of the heart, and cannot sleep; is dreadfully pale and anæmic. _Examination_ showed great irritation over right ovary, and there was evidence of long-continued peripheral irritation. July 2. Usual operation. July 7. Menstruation came on in a moderate flow. July 10. Menstruation ceased; is much better, and there is sign of returning colour in the face. July 31. Has improved considerably, and had no return of the bleeding. To be discharged cured. CASE XI. HYSTERIA—MANY YEARS’ ILLNESS—OPERATION—CURE—MARRIAGE AND PROGENY. Emma K., æt. 22, single; admitted September 16, 1863, into the London Surgical Home. _History._—Commenced menstruating at 15 years of age, but owing to the use of cold water during a period, the secretion was arrested for six months; the function was then restored, and has ever since continued normal. At 16 she suffered from piles, which occasioned very much irritation and pain after each evacuation, aggravated by constipation and by walking. Though regular as to time, there is always excessive catamenial flow, and it lasts for eight days. Has been under long and varied medical treatment, without benefit. _Examination_ showed peripheral irritation, as evinced by the abnormal condition of the external genitals. Sept. 17, 1863. The usual operation performed.
