In the first case, in a 21-year-old woman, milk began to come out of the breasts from the 2nd day after the birth and in such a huge amount that she was constantly wet. All sorts of means did not help in the first three months: belladona, iodide kaliy, ergotin, etc. More than other means helped: squeezing breasts and antipyrim with opium; last Smith appointed at the end of the 3rd month. Milk separation decreased immediately, apparently, without any influence of milk production. The amount of milk measured over the course of several days was 1/2 gallon (2 pounds?) + What the baby was sucking.
