She was not my patient, but her husband consulted me as to his own morning-sickness, which came on with the first occurrence of this sign in his wife, as had been the case twice before in her former pregnancies.

I advised him to leave home, and this proved effectual.

I learned later that the woman continued to gain flesh and be sick every morning until the seventh month.

Then menstruation returned, an examination was made, and when sure that there was no possibility of her being pregnant she began to lose flesh, and within a few months regained her usual size." Hamill reports an instance of morning-sickness in a husband two weeks after the appearance of menstruation in the wife for the last time.

He had daily attacks, and it was not until the failure of the next menses that the woman had any other sign of pregnancy than her husband's nausea.
