You will remember that I mentioned (in a letter before the confinement) that she suffered during her pregnancy from a want of control of a distressing kind. She states now that she has quite as much control over the bowel as she had previous to the accident. XXII.—Complete rupture of perineum with nearly an inch of the septum; operation ; cure; subsequent confinement without injury. E. D.j aet. 38, admitted January Srd, 1881, was sent to me by Dr. Griffith, of Queen's Park, who reported as follows :— She had a long lingering time with an impacted breach (first child) and I was obliged to introduce my hand and bring down the feet, as by no other means could I move the child (which was dead). The result was a somewhat severe laceration. This was on November ]5th, 1880. I found the perineum as described in the heading. January hth.—Perineum restored with five rectal sutures, and one at anal verge, and five perineal. No opium. 5th day—Bowels moved freely, some leucorrhoea, vagina washed out with sulphurous acid. 6th day—Perineum uninjured, though bowels moved frequently. 10th day—All the perineal sutures removed, none cutting, anal suture left. 12th day— Out of bed. 16th day- Gone home. Perineum shows scarcely any trace of the operation. December IQth, 1882.—Dr. Griffith reports to-day that Mrs. D. was safely delivered of a female child on November 11th, 1882, without the slightest injury.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21520161_0074.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
