Fig. 2 represents the normal position of the uterus; it is taken ENGORGEMENT AND DISPLACEMENTS OF UTERUS. G-139 from the congealed body of a young girl of 19. It explains itself. Theother displacements are defined by the directions taken from the bottomof the uterus; when it falls forward it is an anteversion; when it fallsbackward, a retroversion; and when it is inclined to one side, a latero-version. When I discovered, in faradization of the mass, a means of ex-citing circulation and stirring a languid nutrition, I had also to take intoconsideration muscular contraction independently of its action on thecirculation. Muscular contraction in muscular organs, consequently in V X. Fig. 2. the uterus, cannot go on without being localized or without constitutingan orthopaedic condition. Faradization for prolapsus was used simplyto form an adjuvant to the mechanical means of support. The muscular fibres in the attachment of the uterus are not suffi-ciently abundant to hope that, in these relaxed conditions, they could beshortened by acting on them. Little benefit can be derived, and this onlyaccording to the diminution of the weight of the organ, obtained afterthe engorgement has ceased. However, notwithstanding the slight effectof faradization, embracing the ligaments in its circuit, it would be well to G-140 TRIPIER. note this as far as possible. When I come to the operative process, far-ther on, I will show how this can be secured. There is more to be ex-pected from versions and flexions. It seems clear that if contractionscan be localized in one of the wall
