Excerpt from The Southern Practitioner, Vol. 12: An Independent Monthly Journal Devoted to Medicine and Surgery, January 1 to December 31, 1890 In all of my experience I have but rarely found it necessary to force the forceps through an undilated cervix to catch a head above the brim. The first stage of labor is not a threatening con dition so long as the membranes are not broken or the liquor amnii retained, and we all know there can be no impaction while the head remains above the brim, or is not engaged. But if the membranes are ruptured in the beginning, the waters escaped, and the pulse rises, accompanied with heat and dryness of the vaginal passage, and, especially, if convulsions set in, then delay to deliver forci bly with forceps may cost the lives of both mother and child.
