    In iny own practice, in a tolerably healthy country district, 1290 Cases of Midwifery were attended in ten years, from 1835 to 1845; of this number, 253 were at- tended by my late partner, Mr. Taylor, one of which he lost by haemorrhage immediately after delivery. The fol- lowing is an analysis of the remaining 1037. No. of Cases, 1037—No. of Children, 1046.
