Author Description

Excerpt from Ovulation and Menstruation, and Dr. R. Battey's Operation of Normal Ovariotomy If the womb, as I have already stated before, has, like every other organ Of the human system, inherent within itself its own Specific life and functional capacity, in conformity with and de pending upon its specific histological structure and the specific life and vital qualities and action of the cells of its tissues, its functional life must continue as long as it remains itself anatom ically intact, and the absence of the ovaries can only have a very gradual inuence in modifying its functional activity, but can never, according to my conceptions Of physiology, arrest them at once and entirely. It seems, according to the authorities of Dr. Battey, Meigs, Tyler Smith and others, that menstruation depends alone upon ovulation, or in other words, upon the impulse which the womb receives at that time from the ovaries.
