С НА Р. VI.

OF THE MENORRHAGIA,

OR THE

IMMODERATE FLOW OF THE MENSES.

BLOO

DCCCCLXVI.

LOOD difcharged from the vagina may proceed from different fources in the internal parts: but I here mean

to treat of those discharges only, in which the blood may be prefumed to flow from the fame fources that the menfes in their natural state proceed from; and which difcharges alone, are those properly comprehended under the present title. The title of Metrorrhagia, or hemorrhagia uteri, might comprehend a great deal more.

DCCCCLXVII.

The menorrhagia may be confidered as of two kinds; either as it happens to pregnant and lying-in women, or as it happens to women neither pregnant nor having recently born children. The firft kind, as connected with the circumstances of pregnancy and child-bearing, (which are not to be treated of in the present course), I am not to confider here, but shall confine myself to the second kind of menorrhagia only.
