Ever wonder where the term hysterectomy came from? It literally means removal of hysteria. The medical diagnosis included anything and everything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_hysteria Doctors performed a lot of hysterectomies in the Victorian age and I doubt very many were for cancer. A lot of the listed symptoms sound like PMS - except for the "tendency to cause trouble."

I just got a treadle machine for Mother's Day and have been learning to use it. Looks as if I'd better think twice - not!
PS, It's a Lotus, and I love it! Treadling is easier than I expected, but may provide a little much-needed exercise.
