Excerpt from The American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, Vol. 72: July-December, 1915 It is generally stated by German writers that pubiotomy is contraindicated in primiparous women except in unusual circum stances on account of the danger of deep communicating vaginal tears and of injury to the bladder. No doubt this is correct unless especial precautions are taken to prevent such complications; but in my experience they need not occur more frequently than in multiparous women, provided the vulva and lower vagina have been dilated manually before beginning the operation. This being the case, it is interesting to inquire whether there was any difference in the incidence of spontaneous labor in the two classes of women.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, Vol. 62: July-December, 1910 In the erect posture of the woman the coccygeal ends of these two muscles are higher than the pubic. The lowest point of the funnel is the central perineal tendon. The ilio-coccygei, comparable to the external obliques, sweep from the white lines downward, inward, and backward to the coccyx. The concavity of the diaphragm is thus narrowed transversely from above downward and is narrower anteriorly than posteriorly. Leaflets from the recto - vesical fascia go to the principal pelvic viscera. They partially ensheathe the bladder and the tubular organs. Incidentally, it will be seen that the pelvic floor is built on the same general plan as the abdominal wall. Bladder, urethra, uterus, vagina, and the lower portion of the rectum, that below the coccyx, are all more or less closely related to the levator framework. By the anterior and the lateral true ligaments, the neck of the bladder is firmly fixed to the recto-vesical fascia immediately behind the pubic bones. The base of the bladder is held up by the vesico-vaginal leaflet of the latter fascia through its connection with the anterior face of the uterus. The support of the bladder base depends in part, too, upon the integrity of the entire antero-posterior beam formed by the vesico-vaginal fascia and the utero-sacral ligaments. When the posterior uterine ligaments lose their tone and tension, relaxation of the anterior half of the beam is likely to follow.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, Vol. 56: July-December, 1907 There are some of you who may remember the ridicule or skepticism that greeted the announcement of these measures; there are many more of you who remember how the pestilence gathered its terrors to itself and fled away in a night - and it has never returned. On December 21, less than three months later, Garrigues, in re porting the result of his work, was able to say: The effect of the treatment has been wonderful. As if by magic all trouble disappeared. Ninety-seven women have been delivered since its introduction and not only has none Of them died, but there has scarcely been any disease among them - only three had any rise of temperature. The pavilions are scarcely recognizable. Where we used to have offensive odors, feverish, prostrated, or despair ing patients, overworked nurses, and despondent doctors, the air is pure, the patients look well, their temperatures are normal, the nurses are cheerful, and the doctors happy. Could there be a greater triumph than this? Was ever greater lesson taught more quietly? What battle of the greatest general of the world's red fields was ever fraught with consequences more momentous?
