Excerpt from Virginia Medical Monthly, Vol. 1: From April, 1874, to March, 1875 I beg to call the attention of the profession, through the pages of your journal, to the use of the Sponge Tent in Men orrhagz'a. I have elsewhere* given the history of a case of menorrhagia of nine years' duration, in which the patient, a married lady of thirty-two years of age, had become an invalid and a wreck, never able to leave her chamber and rarely on her feet for a week at a time; but who, by the use of the sponge, simply for the purpose of exploration, had been restored as if by magic to health and usefulness.
