(80) Spigel mentions a young woman, of a dis- 

 tinguished family, who bad an aversion to food, 

 like a pregnant woman ; there was tumefaction of 

 the abdomen, with a total suppression of menstru- 

 ation. The parents consulted a number of physi- 

 cians, who said she was with child, and all medi- 

 cines were abandoned. In the mean time the dis- 

 ease increased, and she died a victim to ignorance 

 and inattention. On opening the body, her inno- 

 cence was apparent, there was no embrio in the 

 uterus, but a mass of water and mucus was found 

 in the intestines, and a taenia as long as the bow- 

 els. See Rosenstein, Traite des maladies des en- 

 fans , etc, p. 311.
