Excerpt from Irritable Uterus
The profession has found little added, at least to its active means, in the management of a painful and protracted disease, for recovery often takes place when the least efficient are employed; nay, when the disease and the patient are left quite to themselves.
I have referred to local uterine symptoms. But there are others which appear in parts very remote from the uterine system. These imitate in their variety all sorts of maladies; and by their persistancy, apparently afford sufficient reason for the pathological views which have been taken of them. Here again erroneous diagnosis has led to evil. This remark is supported by what may be found in books on the diseases of women in all periods of medical history. Its illustration is at hand in the latest, our own, in much that has been written on mimotic diseases, so called; and also in certain views concerning a pathological state of the spine, which have been so strongly urged by those who first advanced them, and which have found here as well as abroad strenuous advocates.
The name given to this disease is Irritable Uterus, and the affections with which is is frequently found accompanied, have been designated "Disorders of Females, connected with Uterine Irritation." These terms are used to express a state or condition of the womb, on which some peculiar morbid manifestations depend; and it is perhaps not easy, or very important for a name to do more.
