Although genital tuberculosis is considered to be a major factor causing sterility, endometritis of tubercular origin, when latent. will allow concseption. In the course of pregnancy, such endometrial tuberculosis simulates other types IJ~ endometritis but is jnmeasurably more serious. A (‘ase of 1lostabortn.l meningitis fc~llowing tubereulous endometritis is reported. This patient, with latent unrecognized tubercular endometritis, aborted spontaneously in the third month of pregnancy, developt?d severv meningeal signs wjthiu forty-eight hours, and died about one month later. The V:LW demonstrates the rapid proliferation of the tuberclr bacilli followiup a sl~ontaneour abortion. IA. 13. WINKElslTIN.

This procedure was employed for the following conditions: dysmenorrhea, sterility, intracervical dilatation following cauterization and preceding exploration of the uterus.
