Treatment: Call at once a competent physician.
Displacement of the Womb.
Treatment: Evacuate the bowels and the bladder by means of injections, and the catheter. Place the fingers in the vagina, locate the mouth of the womb, insert finger into it, and gently pull the organ into its natural position.
Dropsy of the Womb.
Treatment: Use tonics freely together with vapor baths, and frequent hot hip baths.
Falling of the Womb.

Neuralgia of the Womb.
Treatment: Keep feet warm and give injections to the bowels of lobelia, lady slipper, and skullcap. Rub the abdomen with liniment. Absolute quiet, above all else, will bring relief.
