That the process of menstruation occurs in the fallopian tubes, similar to the one occurring in the uterine cavity and revealed mainly by bloody discharge, has so far been observed only in some cases. Therefore, this question must be considered not yet sufficiently clarified, and each new observation related to this deserves attention. The cases described in the literature, clearly proving the existence of this process in the pipes, are as follows

At the present time, with the development of gynecological diagnostics on the one hand and the improvement of the operational technique on the other, cases of surgery for extrauterine pregnancy are far from being natural phenomena. However, not every case, representing in its course any, more or less important deviations from the stereotyped, so to speak, picture of illness, should, it seemed to us, serve to even more clarify the more dark cases of this illness.

Если оперируемый вдыхаетъ хлороформъ, сберегавшійся обыкновеннымъ образомъ, т. е. въ пузырькѣ съ притертой пробкою и въ темномъ мѣстѣ, то у больного является тошнота со рвотой; если же хлороформъ свѣже-дистиллированный, рвоты не бываетъ или она очень легка, т. е. въ первомъ случаѣ рвоты обусловливаются разложеніемъ хлороформа. Если же въ хлороформъ всыпать немного размельченной извести и профильтровать его, то такой хлороформъ не вызываетъ тошноты и рвоты.

Having examined the phenomenon of acute anemia that occurs during the slipping of the ligature from the stump after gynecological operations, the author describes the method used by him, which prevents the danger of slipping ligatures. Prof. Smith, prior to ligation of the tumor stem, ligates the ovarian artery, easily palpable at the superior edge of the broad ligament, one inch from the pelvic wall.

Prof. Williams collected 375 cases of ovarian tumors complicated by 461 pregnancies; some, suffering from an ovarian tumor, at the same time successfully underwent a second pregnancy.

Madden says that during his student years, mothers were given a lot of ergot, but now doctors are afraid of it.
