Excerpt from The Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pedology, 1897, Vol. 19 I venture to make these matters of precaution emphatic, because I have seen so marked disregard Of them in the practice of many physicians; but it is unnecessary to enter upon details here. The physician is not unfrequently called to women who have received no medical attention during, or immediately succeeding, the abortive act; and to others who have been seen by a physician only after the extruded matter has been destroyed. In the first instance it was presumed by the patient and her friends that the total product of conception had been expelled, and the physician was called at last because Of hemorrhage or signs of septic infection. In the second instance, the medical attendant who was called, not having the extruded substances for examination, and finding no clear evidence of incomplete abortion, probably assumed that the uterus was empty. In such instance the time ulti mately arrived when evidence of partial retention became conclusive, and made clear the demand for some form of intervention looking to uterine clearance.

Excerpt from The Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics Gynecology and Pedology, Vol. 18 I shall dwell first upon those cases in which fever is due to infection of the puerperal wounds. The diagnosis of septic infection is sometimes quite easy, and again it is shrouded in obscurity. The cases which are the most virulent are apt to have the fewest local symptoms upon which to base a diagnosis. In all cases of doubt it is advisable to make a visual inspection of the vulva, vagina, and cervix. Small white patches on.the raw surfaces may mark the site of infection and render the diagnosis clear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pedology, 1895, Vol. 17 In this connection it is interesting to note that it is but recently that these influences have been recognized by the authors of some of our best text-books on obstetrics. In Tarnier's edition of Cazeaux of 1884, we find the statement that nothing can be more obscure than the causes of extra uterine pregnancy, although it is intimated that paralysis and other diseases of the tube may conduce to it. Surprise during coitus, fear of surprise, or the fear of the result were usually mentioned as reasons for the failure of the ovum to continue in its course through the tube until it reached its normal site for development in the cavity of the uterus. It is only within the past few years that the profession has attained to a full appreciation of the influence excited by diseases affecting the integrity of the tube itself. Some authors advanced the theory that the ovum fell into the open mouths of some distended uterine veins, which of course do not empty into the fallopian tubes. Others assigned as a cause the migration of the fertilized ovum into the canal of Gartner, a channel whose very exist ence is doubted by most authorities of the present day, except as it may be found in some of the lower animals perhaps.

Excerpt from The Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pedology, 1894, Vol. 16 The 'foregoing remarks are intended to be preliminary, and by them we can understand the law of development that has received such brilliant illustration through Von Gudden's experiments. Von Gudden took young animals at the time of birth and extirpated some peripheral organ or part. The animals were allowed to grow to the adult period and then, being killed, their nervous systems were examined, by comparing the two sides. In this way a great deal was learned of the anatomical position of certain fiber tracts. But the experiments taught more than this. They taught a great physiological law, that development of a tract depends upon its being called into activity. With these conclusions before us, we can readily under stand why injury to a part of the nervous system in the infant acts at times so differently from a precisely similar injury in the adult. We may divide disease of the nervous system (including the effects of mechanical injury) in the infant into three classes 1. Those beginning during intra-uterine life. 2. Those begun during the process of birth. 3. Those dating from a later period. In the first class are included maldevelopment, which results in the production of monstrosities with absence of brain or of skull, or with hernia of brain membranes, includ ing at times some of the brain mass. The mode of causation of such faulty development is at present beyond our ken. The cases themselves are readily recognizable and rarely survive.

Excerpt from The Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pedology, 1889, Vol. 11 I decided on a thorough curetting of the uterus, first using Thomas' wire curette followed by Simon's sharp edged instrument, and removing about a tablespoonful of a substance, fibrous, with a brain-like appearance mixed with it. The uterine cavity was then swabbed out with compound tincture of iodine; a tampon of hamamelis applied, and absolute rest enjoined. No more hemorrhage occurred for nearly a month, and then it appeared so much like a profuse menstrual 'fiow that I allowed it to go on for five days. At that time it seemed inclined to grow worse, when the uterus was again curetted as before. The diseased tissue occupied the posterior wall of the fundus. It had a distinct, ridgy, cockscomb-like feeling, but its removal was not attended with the slightest pain. In fact no amount of manipulation caused any pain at any time! This time I applied a 30 per cent. Solution of chromic acid to the interior of the womb, and prescribed tincture hydrastis, 20 drops three times a day. To cause contraction of the uterine blood-vessels, as in cases of sub involution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pediatrics, 1902, Vol. 24 The question may be raised, Why present a paper on pleurisy to the Bureau of Pedology? The answer is that pleurisy in infancy and childhood pre sents problems in differential diagnosis of such importance as to merit special consideration.
