tales; reported a cafe of {welling of a 
tower extremity, we fhall give a brief de- 
{cription ef this difeafe. This, though 
not a frequent difeafe, fometimes occurs 
at about a fortnight after parturition. 
The-patien? firft complains of a pain on 
one fide of the belly, or mthe groin, at_ 
which part a tumour is {oon perceived,ex- 
tending itfelf fometimes to the labium 
pudendi of the fame fide, and always down 
the thigh, and from thence to the leg 
and foot, fo that the whole limb 1s greatly 
increafed in fize. A confiderable degree 
of heat and pain is felt; but though the 
part is exceedingly tender to the touch, 
itexhibits no fign of external inflamma- 
tion, but is of a pale colour, and of very 
fmooth and fhining furface. By fome 
practitioners it has been afferted, that 
fuppuration never takes place under thele 
circumftances; but others have obferved 
that, though it very rarely occurs, it will 
fometimes happen. The fymptoms al- 
ready def{cribed, are fometimes accompa- 
nied bya fcarcity of urine, and at other 
times by a pain and difficulty im the dif- 
charge of it. This convenience was felt 
by the patient referred to in the lift. This 
difeafe, though in its general appearance 
it bears a ftrong refemblance to an ana- 
farcous limb, yet, in feveral particulars, 
may be eafily diftinguifhed from it. It 
approaches more haftiiy, and the fwelling 
‘ef the limb is more rapid than in com--

mon anafarca. It is lefs foft and yield- 
ing to the touch, and a change of pofture 
makes very little difference in the ftate of 
the fwelling. The conftancy of the pain 
and the increafe of it upon motion, ferve 
alfo to diftincuifh it ; and the confinement 
of the tumour to one limb is an additional 
circumftance by which the difeafe is cha- 
racterized. By French phyficians this 
difeafe has been attributed to a depofition 
of the milk, and they have therefore given 
it the name of depot laiteux: but-others 
have afcribed itto a different caufe. Mr. 
WHITE confiders it as owing to an ob- 
ftruction of the lymphatics, occafioned by 
the preflure of the child’s head as it de- 
{cends into the pelvis during labour. Dr. 
FERRIAR afcribes it to an inflammation 
of the abforbent veffels and glands of the 
limb. 
This difeafe, though not a fatal one, 
is often very tedious and obftinate. The 
plan of cure muft be directed by the cir- 
cumftances which attend it. Ifthere is a 
confiderable degree of fever, this will re- 
quire the firft attention of the pra Stitioner. 
To keep the bowels regularly open will 
be always neceflary ; and now and then 
to interpofe a brilk cathartic, may be 
fometimes ufetul. Ifthere is a {carcity 
of urine, the different diuretics may be 
employed with advantage. A lotion of 
ammonia muriata cum aceto is, perhaps, 
one of the beit external remedies.
