after a few weeks, months, and in some cases years, it is subject to paroxysms of darting or lancinating pain. The pain increases from time to time, and frequently extends to the lower point of the shoulder-blade; sometimes about this stage of the disease, the arm is entirely useless - the nipple frequently becomes retracted, exuding a thin, bloody discharge.

Every person laboring under the above symptoms may at once know their real condition.

Then the disease had assumed a constitutional nature - one so much so that it was impossible to relieve her, and death followed in less than three months.
