catamenia appeared at the proper place it was generally arrested and
hemorrhage appeared on the face. Chambers mentions a woman of
twenty-seven who suffered from bloody sweat after the manner of the
stigmatists, and Petrone mentions a young man of healthy antecedents,
the sweat from whose axillae and pubes was red and very pungent.
Petrone believes it was due to a chromogenic micrococcus, and relieved
the patient by the use of a five per cent solution of caustic potash.
Chloroform, ether, and phenol had been tried without success. Hebra
mentions a young man in whom the blood spurted from the hand in a
spiral jet corresponding to the direction of the duct of the
sweat-gland. Wilson refers to five cases of bloody sweat.

There is a record of a patient who once or twice a day was attacked
with swelling of the scrotum, which at length acquired a deep red color

Hill describes a boy of four who during the sweating stage of malaria
sweated blood from the head and neck. Two months later the
skin-hemorrhages ceased and the boy died, vomiting blood and with
bloody stools.

Postmortem sweating is described in the Ephemerides and reported by
Hasenest and Schneider. Bartholinus speaks of bloody sweat in a cadaver.

In considering the anomalies of lactation we shall first discuss those
of color and then the extraordinary places of secretion. Black milk is
spoken of by the Ephemerides and Paullini. Red milk has been observed
by Cramer and Viger. Green milk has been observed by Lanzonius,
Riverius, and Paullini. The Ephemerides also contains an account of
green milk. Yellow milk has been mentioned in the Ephemerides and its
cause ascribed to eating rhubarb.

It is a well-known fact that some cathartics administered to nursing
mothers are taken from the breast by their infants, who,
notwithstanding its indirect mode of administration, exhibit the
effects of the original drug. The same is the case with some poisons,
and instances of lead-poisoning and arsenic-poisoning have been seen in
children who have obtained the toxic substance in the mother's milk.
There is one singular case on record in which a child has been poisoned
from the milk of its mother after she had been bitten by a serpent.

Paullini and the Ephemerides give instances of milk appearing in th
