Dribbling of Urine

Problems: 

I take pleasure in stating the following as a practical fact which I have demonstrated in many cases to my satisfaction.

In atonic conditions of the sphincter muscle of the bladder which may be sufficient to assume a semi-paralyzed state and which will result in a complete retention of urine, or in a dribbling of urine, especially in those advanced in pregnancy, small doses of santonin given at intervals of from one to four hours, will generally give relief.
