C2ESAREAN OPERATION.—WC gave an ac-
count sometime ago of the performance of the Caesarean opera-
tion, by Professor Paul Dubois, on the body of a poor deformed
and idiotic dwarf, in whose case a natural accouchement was
considered impossible. The same Professor has just performed
with success a similar o eration upon another dwarf, aged 25
years, it having been decided that although there was no de-
formity in this case, the small proportions of the patient, who
was only 3 feet 5 inches in height, prevented the hope of a na-
tural delivery. M. Dubois having announced his intention of
operating, the evening before last, at the Hospital de la Clinique,
the room in which he was to perform his task was crowded with
medical practitioners and students, who were allowed to be pre-
sent, and at seven o'clock M. Dubois commenced this difficult
and rare operation. During the performance of it, which was
short and simple, nothing of an alarming nature occurred ; but
when the child had been extracted the loss of blood caused the
mother to faint, from which, however, she was rapidly reco-
vered, and, the wound being sewed up, she was conveyed to her
bed with great precaution. At this moment she bore the ap-
pearance of death, her body was coil and colourless, but shortly
afterwards the natural warmth returned, the blood resumed its
ordinary course, and her breathing was perceptible. In the
meantime the child, which is of the female sex, and perfectly
formed, gave by its cries and movements the most unequivocal
signs of well-constituted vitality, and nothing is apprehended
respecting it beyond what is common to all new-born children.
