Eng. , About a year ago witliin the space of four months I had under my care four patients who consulted me for symptoms now very familiar to the reader of medical literature. These cases suggest a consideration of certain diagnostic features and of the justifiability of operative interference. The latter greatly depends upon the former. One case clearly required immediate operation. The second was in such sufi:ering that surgical aid was sought and proved justifiable. The third was in a somewhat similar condi- tion, but the patient was single, the clinical history not quite reliable, and the symptoms obscure in certain respects. The operation was, strictly speaking, exploratory. The fourth, which resembled the others in many ways, showed no acute symptoms and recovered after prolonged rest without any operation. Case 1.—The patient, aged 25 yeai’s, had been married three years, and had borne one child eighteen months l)efore operation.
