Page 155 - ... when it is quite certain, from the thinness of the structures separating the presenting part from the vaginal canal, that the placenta is not implanted on this part of the sac, and it is not certain that the placenta is not implanted on the anterior abdominal wall.
Page 593 - The operator stands between the thighs of the patient, whose knees should be properly supported, and employing a syringe with a long nozzle, which is carried up as far into the cervical canal as it will go, he keeps a steady stream directly against the membranes. In the course of ten minutes the os will be the size of a silver half dollar, and when dilatation to this extent has been accomplished, he is to insert a gum catheter between the membranes and the uterine walls.

The pressure is not in the direction of a line joining his thumb and the pubic arch, but nearly in that of the axis of the pelvic outlet.

Page 727 - Immersion of the hands in a solution of permanganate of potash, made by adding an excess of the salt to boiling distilled water, until every part of the hands and lower forearms is stained a deep mahogany red or almost black color. They are then transferred at once to a saturated solution of oxalic acid until completely decolorized and of a healthy pink color. This...
Page 598 - ... the tips of the inside fingers. The head will play like a ball between the two hands ; it will be under their command, and can be placed in almost any part at will.
