SNOW BECK, M.D.Lond., F.R.S., F.R.C.S.; Physician to the [Read before the Medical Society of London.] THE large tract of mucous membrane, extending from the orifice of the vagina to the orifice of the uterus, is obnoxious to various diseases; and unquestionably the affection most frequently met with in practice is inflammation. The inflammation may be partial, or extend over the whole surface; it may be acute or chronic; it may be limited to the vagina, properly so called, or it may extend upwards into the membrane lining the uterus, and finally involve the proper structure of this organ; or extend downwards, and implicate the mucous membrane of the vulva; it may also extend beyond the substance of the membrane, attack the cellular tissue which surrounds it, and cause the formation of abscesses in this situation; or the erectile tissue which partially surrounds the vagina, may, together with the large and numerous veins, become implicated in the morbid action, and constitute a most distressing affection. Each of these variations in the character and extent of the inflammation causes a difference in the symptoms, and requires a modification in the treatment; but it is only inflammation of the vagina, considered in a general manner, and without reference to particular modifications, that can be considered within the limits of this paper. SYMPTOMS. When consulted by a patient labouring under an affection of this kind, it is rare, except in severe or acute cases, that our attention is directed to the seat of the disease.
