I eral other great American medical
schools have carefully weighed the
pros and cons of twilight sleep and
their verdict is not very fiattering to
the judgment of the German profess
scr. If the method is safe and efficient
for use in the German clinics upon
! peasant women anu the wives of Ger
man laborers, it is not safe and eff
cient when employed in the case of the
American laborer's wife. If morphine
scopolamine is not without danger
when given our foremost American OBJ
stetricians, it is hard to understand
how it can be so free from danger in
the hands of the German professor.
To fill child's blood with morphine
before it had ever breathed is a pretty
serious business.
