Excerpt from Researches on the Pathology and Treatment of Some of the Most Important Diseases of Women

The term "puerperal fever" has been employed for upwards of a century, to designate the most fatal inflammatory disease to which child-bed women are liable. The name is now generally adopted by medical writers, and is considered to be synonymous with the terms, Puerperal Peritonitis, Child-bed Fever, Peritoneal Fever, or the Epidemic Disease of Lying-in Women.

The records of medicine afford indubitable evidence, that puerperal or child-bed women have, from the most remote periods of antiquity, been liable to attacks of this destructive affection.
