Arthur Giles, "The Longings of Pregnant Women," Transactions Obstetrical Society of London, vol. xxxv, 1893. Thus, in Cornwall, "to be in the longing way" is a popular synonym for pregnancy. One may perhaps refer in this connection to the fact that at Rome and elsewhere the testicles have been called apples.
Detailed description of the technic of this operation belongs to the realm of surgery and a good discussion of it is to be found in William's work on veterinary surgical and obstetrical operations. One may summarize the discussion of treatment of nail puncture by saying that emergency care as herein described is of first consideration.
Then again, the cramped apartments, so common in these days, are poorly adapted to the treatment of sickness of any sort and should induce many obstetrical patients to choose the hospital. There are, besides, other features which favor this course, such as economy, convenience, and safety.
In like manner, when the great American discovery of anaesthetics was applied in obstetrical cases, it was discouraged, not so much for physiological reasons, as under the pretense that it was an impious attempt to escape from the curse denounced against all women in Genesis iii. 16.
Perfect recovery is most likely with the body in a recumbent position, which relieves the muscles from any strain. These facts are better appreciated than formerly, hence most physicians encourage their obstetrical patients to remain in bed somewhat longer than their mothers did. Generally nothing else will be required, and only under extraordinary circumstances will nature need assistance.
It may be well to extend the same caution to cases of simple peritonitis. Similar precautions should be taken after the autopsy or surgical treatment of cases of erysipelas, if the physician is obliged to unite such offices with his obstetrical duties, which is in the highest degree inexpedient.
You will please notice, gentlemen, that when this distinguished Doctor said, "We are not now justified in destroying a living child," he was speaking from a medical standpoint, and meant to say that such destruction is now scientifically unjustifiable, is a blunder in surgery. From a moral point of view it is not only now, but it was always, unjustifiable to slay a child as a means to save the mother's life; a good end cannot justify an evil means, is a truth that cannot be too emphatically inculcated. This is one of the most important subjects on which Medical Jurisprudence has been improved, and most of its text-books are deficient. The improvement is explained with much scientific detail in an address of the President, Samuel C. Busey, M.D., before the Washington Obstetrical and Gynecological Society ("Am. Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children," vol.
If left down, the carpet should be covered with some suitable material, firmly stretched and tacked in place. We know that the air in most households does not contain disease- producing bacteria; but the presence of any contagious disease materially alters the situation, and may imperil the convalescence of an obstetrical patient.
On the other side, see G.W. Cook, American Journal of Obstetrics, September, 1889, and H.F. Lewis, ib., July, 1899. Transactions Edinburgh Obstetrical Society, vol. xvii, 1892. J.W. Ballantyne, Manual of Antenatal Pathology: The Embryo, p. 45. W.C. Dabney, "Maternal Impressions," Keating's Cyclopædia of Diseases of Children, vol. i, 1889, pp. 191-216.
Both villains covet the wealth and station of a preferred brother; both make use of a specious obstetrical argument and both operate with forged letters. In general, however, the portrait of Franz was more influenced by Richard the Third than by Edmund, or Iago, or any of the other Shaksperian villains.
