Aes BEARING DOWN OF THE WOMB. 
This complaint consists in a change in the situation of the womb, 
which it falls much lower than it ought to do; in.some cases ab- 
ately protruding without the vagina. ‘This complaint is of te - 
currence—more frequent than is generally suspected, even 
sufferers themselves. Many females within my knowledge

t tantly taking medicine for almost every other complaint, =~ 
without either themselves or their physicians having the least. sus- 
_ Ppicion of the real difficulty, until T-afterwards convinced them of it 
_byezamination. False delicacy in females, or modesty in the phy- 
, often prevents the necessary means of ascertaining the pre-
