Remedies for Uterine Hæmorrhage

The Clinical Condition of the Uterine Wall in Concealed Accidental Hæmorrhage *Read 9th June 1926.

As the present communication is introductory to the succeeding paper upon treatment, it deals only with the clinical condition of the uterine muscle from that point of view.
