perspiration, and there are numerous varieties of milk-metastasis
recorded Dolaeus and Nuck mention the appearance of milk in the saliva.
Autenreith mentions metastasis of milk through an abdominal abscess to
the thigh, and Balthazaar also mentions excretion of milk from the
thigh. Bourdon mentions milk from the thigh, labia, and vulva. Klein
speaks of the metastasis of the milk to the lochia. Gardane speaks of
metastasis to the lungs, and there is another case on record in which
this phenomenon caused asphyxia. Schenck describes excretion of milk
from the bladder and uterus. Jaeger in 1770 at Tubingen describes the
metastasis of milk to the umbilicus, Haen to the back, and Schurig to a
wound in the foot. Knackstedt has seen an abscess of the thigh which
contained eight pounds of milk. Hauser gives the history of a case in
which the kidneys secreted milk vicariously.

There is the history of a woman who suffered from metastasis of milk to
the stomach, and who, with convulsive action of the chest and abdomen,
vomited it daily. A peculiar instance of milk in a tumor is that of a
Mrs. Reed, who, when pregnant with twins, developed an abdominal tumor
from which 25 pounds of milk was drawn off.

There is a French report of secretion of milk in the scrotum of a man
of twenty-one. The scrotum was tumefied, and to the touch gave the
sensation of a human breast, and the parts were pigmented similar to an
engorged breast. Analysis showed the secretion to have been true human
milk.

Cases of lactation in the new-born are not infrequent. Bartholinus,
Baricelli, Muraltus, Deusingius, Rhodius, Schenck, and Schurig mention
instances of it. Cardanus describes an infant of one month whose
breasts were swollen and gave milk copiously. Battersby cites a
description of a male child three weeks old whose breasts were full of
a fluid, analysis proving it to have been human milk; Darby, in the
same journal, mentions a child of eight days whose breasts were so
engorged that the nurse had to milk it. Faye gives an interesting paper
in which he has collected many instances of milk in the breasts of the
new-born. Jonston details a description of lactation in an infant.
Variot mentions milk-secretion in the new-born and says that it
generally takes place from the eighth to the fifteenth day and not in
the first week. He also adds that probably mammary abscesses in the
new-born could be avoided if the milk were squeezed out of the breasts
