as of the same appearance as the
menstrual flux. The quantity was from one to two ounces, and the
discharge lasted from three to six days. At this time the student was
twenty-two years of age, of a lymphatic temperament, not particularly
lustful, and was never the victim of any venereal disease. The author
gives no account of the after-life of this man, his whereabouts being,
unfortunately, unknown or omitted.

Vicarious Menstruation in the Male.--This simulation of menstruation by
the male assumes a vicarious nature as well as in the female. Van
Swieten, quoting from Benivenius, relates a case of a man who once a
month sweated great quantities of blood from his right flank. Pinel
mentions a case of a captain in the army (M. Regis), who was wounded by
a bullet in the body and who afterward had a monthly discharge from the
urethra. Pinel calls attention particularly to the analogy in this case
by mentioning that if the captain were exposed to fatigue, privation,
cold, etc., he exhibited the ordinary symptoms of amenorrhea or
suppression. Fournier speaks of a man over thirty years old, who had
been the subject of a menstrual evacuation since puberty, or shortly
after his first sexual intercourse. He would experience pains of the
premenstrual type, about twenty-four hours before the appearance of the
flow, which subsided when the menstruation began. He was of an
intensely voluptuous nature, and constantly gave himself up to sexual
excesses. The flow was abundant on the first day, diminished on the
second, and ceased on the third. Halliburton, Jouilleton, and Rayman
also record male menstruation.

Cases of menstruation during pregnancy and lactation are not rare. It
is not uncommon to find pregnancy, lactation, and menstruation
coexisting. No careful obstetrician will deny pregnancy solely on the
regular occurrence of the menstrual periods, any more than he would
make the diagnosis of pregnancy from the fact of the suppression of
menses. Blake reports an instance of catamenia and mammary secretion
during pregnancy. Denaux de Breyne mentions a similar case. The child
was born by a face-presentation. De Saint-Moulin cites an instance of
the persistence of menstruation during pregnancy in a woman of
twenty-four, who had never been regular; the child was born at term.
Gelly speaks of a case in which menstruation continued until the third
month of pregnancy, when abortion occurred. Post, in describing the
birth of a two-poun
