Delicate health, chlorosis, improper and not sufficiently nourishing food, grief, anxiety, excitement of the mind, closely confined rooms, want of exercise, indigestion, flatulence and tight-lacing, are the causes which usually produce hysterics.
In support of this view he calls attention to the pigmentation of the skin which occurs during pregnancy and chlorosis, showing that the absence of the catamenia results in the retention in the blood of some substance which would normally be excreted at this time.
In diseases attended with violent pain, opium has double the effect, if venesection and a cathartic have been previously used. On this seems to have been founded the successful practice of Sydenham, who used venesection and a cathartic in chlorosis before the exhibition of the bark, steel, and opiates. Prevent any unnecessary expenditure of sensorial power.
If a young girl had plenty-of wholesome meat, varied from day to day, either plain roast or boiled, and neither stewed, nor hashed, nor highly seasoned for the stomach, if she has had an abundance of fresh air for her lungs, if she had plenty of active exercise, such as skipping, dancing, running, riding, swimming, for her muscles, if her clothing were warm and loose, and adapted to the season, if her mind were more occupied with active useful occupation, such as household work, than at present, and if she were kept calm and untroubled from the hurly-burly and excitement of fashionable life chlorosis would almost be an unknown disease.
Thus Herbert Spencer remarks that the mental development of women must be arrested earlier than that of men, in order to leave a margin for reproduction. Absence of menstruation. Excessive menstrual hemorrhage. I use the term efficient in a technical sense, as meaning all-sufficient to produce the given effect, without the intervention of any other cause. "Menorrhagic chlorosis" of Trousseau.
Hence in all those constitutions or diseases where the blood contains a greater proportion of serum, which is the lightest part of its composition, the pulsations of the arteries are weaker, as in nervous fevers, chlorosis, and hysteric complaints; for in these cases the momentum of the progressive particles of blood is less: and hence, where the denser parts of its composition abound, as the red part of it, or the coagulable lymph, the arterial pulsations are stronger; as in those of robust health, and in inflammatory diseases.
What is the usual age for Chlorosis to occur and what are the symptoms? Chlorosis more frequently attacks girls from fifteen to twenty years of age; although unmarried women, much older, occasionally have it. I say unmarried, for, as a rule, it is a complaint of the single. The menstrual discharge is either suspended or very partially performed, if the latter, it is usually almost colourless.
Have they occupation useful, active occupation to make them happy? No! they have neither the one nor the other! What diseases are girls most subject to? The diseases peculiar to girls are Chlorosis Green-sickness and Hysterics. What are the usual causes of Chlorosis? Chlorosis is caused by torpor and debility of the whole frame, especially of the womb.
Chlorosis is very amenable to treatment. If the disease be allowed for any length of time to run on, it may produce either organic incurable disease of the heart, or consumption or indigestion, or confirmed ill-health. At what period of life is a lady most prone in Hysterics, and what are the symptoms? The time of life when hysterics occur is generally from the age of fifteen to fifty.
It also is one of the first symptoms of pregnancy. Sometimes it indicates an impoverished condition of the blood and shows the need of a general building up of the system. This is true especially in young girls who have what is called chlorosis or green sickness. These girls are pale, weak, sometimes having a greenish cast to their complexions.
