1. Inefficiency of the powers. 2. Abnormality of the passages?a, Hard ; b, soft. 3. Malpresentation or malposition of the passenger. 4. Emergencies arising in mother or child demanding speedy delivery.

Without detaining you with statistics, I should like to draw attention to the fact that, out of 414 bir...
