| Description Of Item | Two cuttings glued to one another. Containing two articles on the topic of nocturnal incontinence of urine. First is correspondence from Oscar Rapin MD, from Switzerland, on the efficacy of tonics and nux vomica (extract of the seeds of the strychnine tree) as a treatment for nocturnal incontinence. Rapin details case of an unnamed 17-year-old servant girl whose incontinence he claims to have cured, using a four-step regime that he describes in detail. The second article, attributed only to HC, discusses the apparently curative effect of marriage on cases of nocturnal incontinence in young women.
