The remaining diseases peculiar to the female pelvic viscera and
their outlet, are hæmorrhoids, irritability and inflammation of the
bladder, disordered uterine functions, urethritis, or inflammation of
the urinary passage, and, lastly, internal and external irritation or
excoriation. But as these fall within the province of every family
practitioner, to the consultation of whom no morbid delicacy should
prevent a patient, having such in their confidence, from resorting, I
shall conclude this section by appending sundry prescriptions, in order
that, should prudence not direct the sick one or her friends to call
in the advised assistance, help may not be entirely withheld, and in
order that, if the aid offered be not the means of supplying the loss
of a more proficient and skilful director, it may at least be found
mitigatory of these interruptions of health and comfort:—
