Childbirth without having had the as
sursnce that there is no obstacle 70 a
normal labor. Some OF the saddest
caiaInities, mos. of them indeed. are
due to unwarranted neglect or delay
n this matter
There IS no sound reason why any
woman should suffer excessively in
childbirth, with chloroform and other
safe anesthetics at hand Nor need
she fear chloroform. for It can be ad-
ministered TO the point where the pain
is rendered quite bearabie, though
consciousness is not removed-the OBJ
stetrical stage OF anesthesia. as it is
called.
Contrary TO common belief, child
birth under proper medical care IS
no. q dangerous epoch in life. The
dangers and sufferings are almost
wholly due TO ignorance and careless
ness. In the mortality statistics it is
very evident that the child-bearing wo-
man has stronger lease on life than
her childless sisters.
