The body, in its doubled state, being too large to pass through the pelvis, and the uterus, pressing upon its inferior extremities which are the only parts capable of being moved, they are forced gradually lower, making room as they are pressed down for the reception of some other part into the cavity of the uterus which they have evacuated, until the body, turning as it were upon its own axis, the breech of the child is expelled, as in an original presentation of that part...

Seite 159 - He informed me that about the year 1750, there was a consultation of the most eminent men at that time in London to consider of the moral rectitude of, and advantages which might be expected from, this practice ; which met with their general approbation.

Seite 299 - A very corpulent robust farmer, of about fifty-five years of age, was seized with a rigor, which induced him to send for his apothecary. He had not made water, it appeared, for twenty-four hours ; but there was no pain, no sense of weight in the loins, no distension in any part of the abdomen, and therefore no alarm was taken till the following morning, when it was thought proper to ascertain whether there was any water in the bladder, by the introduction of a catheter, and none was found.
