a subject calling for careful consideration. It is often the sign of malignant disease, and too much importance cannot be attached to this fact, because the only hope for treating such cases successfully lies in early operation?operation done at a time when bleeding is the only symptom. Once pain and foetid discharge are present, the chance of a successful operation has been lost. This fact cannot be too strongly impressed on the lay mind, so as to lead patients suffering from too free or irregular bleeding to seek advice early. Fortunately it is only in a certain proportion of these cases that cancer will be found, and the cause of haemorrhage in others is hard to explain. I am not referring to cases associated with abortion, but to those in which this cause can be excluded.
