The other case, reported by Guyon, exemplified another error in diagnosis.

The patient was a woman who suffered from continuous vaginal hemorrhage, and had been given extensive treatment without success.

Finally, when the woman was in extreme exhaustion, an injection of vinegar-water was ordered, the use of which was followed by the expulsion from the vagina of a live leech of a species very abundant in the country.

The hemorrhage immediately ceased and health returned.
There is a record of a woman of twenty-eight who was suddenly surprised by some one entering her chamber at the moment she was introducing a cedar pencil into her vagina.

With the purpose of covering up her act and dissembling the woman sat down, and the shank of the wood was pushed through the posterior wall of the vagina into the peritoneal cavity.
