cites an instance in a woman of twenty-three, in whom the
menstrual discharge was suspended several months. She experienced
fulness of the head and bleeding (largely from the ears), which
subsequently occurred periodically, being preceded by much
throbbing; but the patient finally made a good recovery. Barnes,
Stepanoff, and Field adduce examples of this anomaly. Jouilleton
relates an instance of menstruation from the right ear for five
years, following a miscarriage.

Hemorrhage from the mouth of a vicarious nature has been
frequently observed associated with menstrual disorders. The
Ephemerides, Meibomius, and Rhodius mention instances. The case
of Meibomius was that of an infant, and the case mentioned by
Rhodius was associated with hemorrhages from the lungs,
umbilicus, thigh, and tooth-cavity. Allport reports the history
of a case in which there was recession of the gingival margins
and alveolar processes, the consequence of amenorrhea. Caso has
an instance of menstruation from the gums, and there is on record
the description of a woman, aged thirty-two, who had bleeding
from the throat preceding menstruation; later the menstruation
ceased to be regular, and four years previously, after an
unfortunate and violent connection, the menses ceased, and the
woman soon developed hemorrhoids and hemoptysis. Henry speaks of
a woman who menstruated from the mouth; at the necropsy 207
stones were found in the gall-bladder. Krishaber speaks of a case
of lingual menstruation at the epoch of menstruation.

Descriptions of menstruation from the extremities are quite
numerous. Pechlin offers an example from the foot; Boerhaave from
the skin of the hand; Ephemerides from the knee; Albertus from
