Some pain of a lancinating type occurred in the breast at this time.

The patient first discovered her peculiar condition by a stain of blood upon the night-gown on awakening in the morning, and this she traced to the breast.

From an examination it appeared that a neglected lacerated cervix during the birth of the last child had given rise to endometritis, and for a year the patient had suffered from severe menorrhagia, for which she was subsequently treated.

At this time the menses became scanty, and then supervened the discharge of bloody fluid from the left breast, as heretofore mentioned.

The right breast remained always entirely passive.
