the appetite returning, and rumination is partially re-esta- 
blished. Ordered the following mixture :

Aquse, ^vij. M. 
Give four table-spoonfuls every eight hours, in a little cold 
water. 
29th. — The pulse is gradually decreasing in number, and 
also acquiring more tone; the appetite is improving, and she 
is beginning to yield her milk. Continue the medicine as 
prescribed yesterday. The bowels being a little constipated, 
I ordered a mild laxative. 
March 1st. — The pulse is about 60. She has given about 
five quarts of milk this morning, and may now be safely 
pronounced convalescent. There is a slight discharge from 
the vagina. I examined the wound this morning, not liking 
to do so sooner, being afraid of inducing further haemor- 
rhage. I found, however, that it was in a perfectly healthy 
state. Continue the mixture. The bowels are relaxed. 
2d. — Animal convalescent. Discontinue medicine. After 
this she continued to improve, and is now quite well. The 
wound, as far as I can ascertain, is healing rapidly. 
This mode of treatment has very frequently been resorted 
to by my father in similar cases with signal success ; but he 
has also, in certain cases of uterine haemorrhage, adminis- 
tered opium, the secale cornutum, &c., followed by stimu- 
lants, such as ammonia and camphor.
