Excerpt from Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pediatrics, 1901, Vol. 23 But gynecologists have to deal with conditions far removed from the natural state. It may be with the better understand ing of social relations, the needs of society, and individual responsibility, we will be able to balance this waste of energy, and conserve the forces now misdirected in women; but at present the majority of women, because of their sex, are menaced during the period of their reproductive activity, by the possible development of types of cell degeneration, as the result of fruitless attempts at the evolution of higher cell types. May we not ask ourselves, if in this condition we have a predisposing cause of cancer. Another passage in the life history of the uterus deserves our consideration. Up to a certain period, the system is prepar ing for the reproductive function; evoluting cells remain dor mant, or are slowly developing. These are finally ready to assume their functional activity, but their period of usefulness is shorter than the life of the individual, and in the process of their involution at the climacteric, are subject to such changes as finally result in their disuse, so far as the function of reproduction is concerned. The uterus, as a part of the reproductive system, then becomes a senile organ, an organ that may be classed among degenerating tissues. In a state of general good health and well-being, this period is passed over without accident; there can be little doubt that it is fraught with danger when the system is be low par, for the process of structural folding up is one of exceeding nicety, and may well give rise to the establish ment of local conditions, favorable to the development of erratic forms of cell life, and differentiation of the cells them selves, which, in the aggregate, and in their arrangement, are incompatible with health.

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.

Excerpt from Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pediatrics, 1903, Vol. 25 Every physician who has had any amount of experience does realize the serious results of a lacerated perineum; he also is aware of the fact that the great percentage of these cases have their origin in a posterior delivery. If you con sider this assertion too broad, I will put it in another way. A large percentage of perineal lacerations can be prevented if precautions, knowledge, and care of existing conditions are strictly observed. Consequently I take the liberty to reassert that a large percentage of perineal lacerations find their true and unavoidable cause following posterior positions. I hope you will not think my preface one of a long-drawn out character; I believe it to be the most important, if not the most interesting, part of my paper. The students who gradu ate from our colleges to-day should be taught, second to normal conditions, how to diagnose and how to conduct posterior positions to a safe delivery to both mother and child. I assure you the old adage An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure - is applicable in these cases, for I must strongly impress in this case it is most all in prevention and but little in cure, as it is impossible to expect anything but a laceration of the second or third degree under the care of the most skillful accoucheur unless there should exist a favorable disproportion between fetal cranium and pelvis of the mother.

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.
