CASE I.—Was called, about one year ago, to Mrs. McG., age, 36. Found she had just miscarried at about four months pregnancy. The fetus and placenta had been expelled, but owing to inefficiency of uterine contraction, there was profuse hemorrhage; consequently soon after my arrival I found I had to contend with not only hemorrhage, but a grave case of syncope. Her extremities became cold, and the heart-beat was scarcely perceptible; and surely the case was rapidly becoming one of heart-failure. Quick action was necessary, and I at once concluded to test nux vomica, and proceeded immediately to administer one drop doses of the tincture every five minutes. When the sixth dose had been given the radial pulse-wave could be felt, and the heart-beat distinctly heard. After five more doses the pulse was nearly normal; warmth of body was restored and she was able to converse. Hayden’s viburnum compound brought on good uterine contraction, and I succeeded in controlling the hemorrhage. In a few hours after the first dose of nux vomica I found my patient in such a comfortable condition of reaction that I left for home. About six months afterward I was called in the early part of the evening to Mrs. McG., who believed she was again pregnant and threatened with miscarriage. She had pain in the back and profuse hemorrhage. I was getting good control of the hemorrhage when syncope set in, and on finding it was becoming protracted and her condition very similar to that for which I had used the nux vomica so successfully, I at once resorted to the same treatment and with the same satisfactory result.—But I must state, she was mistaken as to pregnancy. In the course of that night she passed a very large blood-clot which was the cause of her trouble; it evidently had been accumulating in the uterus through several menstrual periods.
