the foot; Zacutus Lusitanus from the left thumb; Bartholinus a
curious instance from the hand; and the Ephemerides another
during pregnancy from the ankle.

Post speaks of a very peculiar case of edema of the arm
alternating with the menstrual discharge. Sennert writes of
menstruation from the groin associated with hemorrhage from the
umbilicus and gums. Moses offers an example of hemorrhage from
the umbilicus, doubtless vicarious. Verduc details the history of
two cases from the top of the head, and Kerokring cites three
similar instances, one of which was associated with hemorrhage
from the hand.

A peculiar mode is vicarious menstrual hemorrhage through old
ulcers, wounds, or cicatrices, and many examples are on record, a
few of which will be described. Calder gives an excellent account
of menstruation at an ankle-ulcer, and Brincken says he has seen
periodical bleeding from the cicatrix of a leprous ulcer. In the
Lancet is an account of a case in the Vienna Hospital of
simulated stigmata; the scar opened each month and a menstrual
flow proceeded therefrom; but by placing a plaster-of-Paris
bandage about the wound, sealing it so that tampering with the
wound could be easily detected, healing soon ensued, and the
imposture was thus exposed. Such would likely be the result of
the investigation of most cases of "bleeding wounds" which are
exhibited to the ignorant and superstitious for religious
purposes.

Hogg publishes a report describing a young lady who injured her
leg with the broken steel of her crinoline. The wound healed
