Pathology and Treatment of some Obscure Cases of Long-Continued Pain in Bone

Abstract

asisting to correct the mal-jxeticm, by IV to borrow a naufical phrase-4he head down to and into the pelvc cavity, simultaneously with the breech being uged upwards to the fundus ? In answer to both questions, with extreme deference, I not; and should another arm-presentation case ever come in my way, under suitable circumstances, I will desire to put in practice the very same course, modified only according to variety in position of the child, to be presently noticed, which I unqualfiedly believe has been succesu in this occasion. Two inquiries suggest themselves. 1. Would the same manipulations produce a like result, if the child's right arm presented, its face and admen corresponding with those of the mother, the head still resting upon, or above her re/ht ilium? In that case, I should proceed in precisely the manner described, and hope for a similar termination. 2. Would the same management be applicable, if the longtudinal poiion of the child in utero were reversed from that in te instahce related, the presentation being, then, the right or left arm, but with the head, whether occiput or sinciput, situated on, or above, the mother's lft ilium, and the breech in the direction of her right ilium? Yes: but it would be necessary that the woman should lie upon her rightside, and that the repressing force be employed by the rih hand of the accoucheur. Leeds, Sept. 10, 1852.
