Excerpt from Transactions of the New York Medico-Chirurgical Society: The Present Volume Includes the Transactions of the Society, as Taken From the Secretary's Records, for the Year 1884; Papers Are Presented in the Form Read Before the Society The case which I have to report to you is one of uterine fibroid. I do not Claim for it any specially unique pathological features, nor will I say that in its method of treatment will be found anything remarkable or original. My purpose in presenting it is merely to add one more to the list of cases, which, a priori, are extremely disheartening, but eventually afford the happiest results. Miss G., aged thirty-two, presented herself at my office about the first of last November, bearing a note of introduction from Dr. E. P. Fowler. She gave the following history: Menstrual life was inaugurated in her fourteenth year; always regular, profuse and painful, lasting from six to eight days. In the summer of 1881 the menses became more frequent and irregular, and severe pain was experienced in the left infra-mammary region. She now began to notice a serous discharge from the vagina; the menses were more profuse and severe bearing-down pain was experienced. From that time until the winter of 1883 these symptoms gradually increased, appetite and strength depreciated and the flesh became more blanched. In January of 1883, was attacked with severe and obstinate flooding and persistent vomiting, which lasted three or four weeks. In compliance with the wishes of her physician and friends, she sailed in February for Florida, enjoyed the trip, and her general health was greatly improved by the climatic change. Returned to New York last May, when she first learned from Drs. Fowler and Minor that She was suffering from an uterine tumor. Through the summer she enjoyed a fair degree of health, but was very weak from the constant, excessive, pale-colored.
