occasionally strong vaginal injections, and during this time mainly the epithelial bodies were discharged. For the first three months they came away regularly once a month ; but afterward more frequently ; and at last several were passed in a week ; the number altogether being ninety-six. The specimens here shown are opaque, and of a reddish color, from the injections that had been used, as the patient thought ; the appearance generally being pearly and semi-transparent, according to her report. Menstruation began at the age of nineteen, was generally irregular, and had ceased about two years before the dis- charge of these bodies commenced.

Dr. D. H. Storer.

2797. A slender, but firm little polypoid excrescence, about an inch in length, and removed from the internal labium of a married woman. It had existed for a year, and kept up a constant vaginitis, which was relieved after the excision. 1856. Dr. D. H. Storer.
