She adds that she has practically

Women vary a great deal IN
their reaction TO the menopause.
Some have hardly any symptoms,
no troublesome hot flashes, and
others, as in the case Of my cor
respondent. suffer torture from
them. Some accept the condition
philosophically and some regard
the end of the reproductive period
the beginning Of the end Of inti-
mate companionship with the
mate, as a tragedy Of the deepest
dye.
Men are the same way. Some
accept the onset Of old age with
equanimity, some wear themselves
out fighting it. The motto for them
is what Charles Lamb said to Cole
ridge II accept. the universe"
said Coleridge, with a sententious
sigh. Cad! you'd better eT.
claimed Lamb.
Age PeriodS Differ
The age at which the menopause
comes on is given at slightly differ
ent periods by different observers.
Norris and Sanes, in this country,
give IT at forty-seven and eight
tenths years and forty-seven and
one-tenth years respectively. But
enormous variations occur. The
Medical Women's Federation re-
port that of 1897 subjects the
menopause appeared in s per cent
before the fortieth year, in % per
cent during the ensuing FIVE years,
and in 81 per cent between forty
five and fifty. and in less than 5
per cent at fifty-five years or. later.
The hot flashes are absolutely
characteristic Of the menopause
and appear in no other condition.
1t is easy to say that they are
sign of vaso-motor instability, but
that does not explain very much.
In my experience they do not occur
any more often in women who have
some elevation Of blood pressure
or hardening of the arteries than
they dom anyone else.
Variations In Treatment
Wsldeyer described number OF
cases Of women who had children
after the menopause was over, but
be was not the first (see Genesis
XVIII, 1914, XXI, 2-1.
As TO treatment, again there are
great variations. There is no use
treating a woman who is not suf
fering or even uncomfortable.
When the hot flashes become really
unbearable the use of an ovarian
extract, estrogen, is usually very
helpful. 1t can be given daily by
mouth, but it probably is more ef-
fective given hypodermically. 1t
often gives relief in general way
from the constitutional and emo
tional symptoms, even II hot
flashes are not troublesome.
The general treatment is appl-
able to all cases. The psychology
cal environment should be cheerful
and hopeful. The subject should be
encouraged to take plenty Of exer-
else, preferably out of doors, get
long nights rest, keep up the nu-
triton by wholesome meals. Hot
baths or cold showers may be en-
ployed with advantage.
