LEUCORRHEA, OR WHITES.
This is a very common affection among females, few arriving at full womanhood without experiencing it. It consists in a puriform discharge from the vagina, varying in color in different cases, but more commonly it is of a yellowish white. It always denotes a deteriorated state of the health, and if allowed to proceed too far, is apt to end in some worse malady.
The water-treatment is peculiarly adapted to the cure of this ailment. The great object should be to fortify the general health. For this object, a good course of hydropathic treatment will in many cases be necessary. The vaginal injections—not too cold—and sitting-baths are valuable means.
