See case at length, in Section VI, „ . . . 64. Active hemorrhage had taken place before Dr C.'s arrival. On examination, the pelvis was filled with coagula, and .something like placenta. Another pain expelled an uninterrupted ovum, which was instantly ruptured, but the child was dead. 68. The placenta was bom along with the head ; but Dr M. was sensible of its being wholly detached, and lying in the vagina for fully five minutes. 70. Though not actually stated, it is clear, from the context, that the woman here, and in Case 14.3, recovered. 71!

The p^ins were strong and downbearing, and in about twenty minutes the placenta was expelled. The next pain expelled the child. 72. The placenta was detached to some extent, when Mr G. was called in. He immediately separated the remainder and removed it. , , , , , 78, 91, 92. The fact is not stated, but it is manifest, from the context, that the mothers recovered.
