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.

PROLAPSUS UTERI.

Falling of the womb has latterly become too much a fashionable complaint. A great many women suppose they have it, merely in consequence of some unpleasant feeling, and because it is so much talked about.

I cannot here enter into a lengthy description of this disease; but I desire, most earnestly, to impress upon your minds the great value of the water-cure as a means of remedying it. Prolapsus is a disease of general debility, and hence the good effects of the new method in treating it.

Do not depend too much upon local and mechanical means; these are too much in vogue at the present day. True, vaginal injections, the wet girdle, sitting-baths, and in some cases the pessary, are all good in their place; but the restoration of the WHOLE SYSTEM, remember, is the great thing.

Those who have this complaint, should be careful not to overdo in walking or other exercise.
