Excerpt from The Science and Art of Obstetrics

Treatment in obstetrical practice in a great measure is me chanical, and does not involve the extensive application of thera peutical resources. It is true that by the judicious use of homoeopathic remedies labor may often be divested of its patho logical features; yet we must beware of expecting too much. We cannot reasonably hope to flex an extended foetal head, to amplify pelvic diameters, to reduce intra-uterine hydrocephalus, to effect version, or to arrest unavoidable hemorrhage by the most carefully affiliated remedy; and the sooner the sphere of remedial action can be settled, the better for us and the prin ciples which we represent. The vantage-ground which wahold consists in our ability to reduce the number of cases demand ing interference to a minimum, and to remove from the path way of the parturient and puerperal woman all unnecessary ditfi culty and danger.
