Excerpt from Practical Essays on the Management of Pregnancy and Labour: And on the Inflammatory and Febrile Diseases of Lying-in Women
Some years ago, I was induced to offer to the public a short account of a very alarming Epidemic, which made its appearance among Lying-in Women, and prevailed, not only in the metropolis, but proved fatal also to great numbers of women in different and remote parts of the country. - It was not confined to persons in the lower classes. Many women in the middle and some in the higher stations fell sacrifices to it.
From my situation at that time in a public Lying-in Hospital, I had considerable opportunities of remarking the various symptoms which appeared, and upon comparing them with what I had before seen in inflammation of the uterus, or of the periton?um during the puerperal state, I could not but be struck with the remarkable difference between them and this complaint; and found great embarassment in the treatment of a disease new to me.
