Side 401 - To embody them in one view, let the reader fancy to himself a young or middleaged woman, somewhat reduced in flesh and health, almost living on her sofa for months, or even years, from a constant pain in the uterus, which renders her unable to sit up and take exercise ; the uterus, on examination, unchanged in structure, but exquisitely tender ; even in the recumbent posture always in pain, but subject to great aggravations more or less frequently.
