Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Peoria Medical Monthly, 1884-1885, Vol. 5: A Practitioner's Journal Mrs; U., aged 34 years, married twelve years, has never borne children. Previous to her marriage had always enjoyed good health, but since has suffered some from uterine catarrh, for which she had been treated. About five years ago she first noticed a tumor on the right side, and called the attention of her physician to it. I was called soon after in consultation to examine the growth. I found a round, inelastic tumor, quite movable in almost any direction, and about the size of a large orange. I thought, at that time, that it was an ovarian growth, probably cystic, but did not feel positive as to its exact character. I did not see her again for about a year, when she became my patient. On ex amination I found the tumor had grown considerably, and pre sented all the characteristics of a solid tumor. It was still very free and could be moved in any direction. She did not suffer much from it except in a constitutional way. Her courses were very irregular, six weeks and sometimes two or three months would pass between her periods. The bowels were obstinately constipated, and this gave her more pain than anything else. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
