Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, Vol. 12: February, 1879 Ought this to be so? By no means. Our cardinal prin ciple in medicine should be to assist nature in recovery as fast as possible (for the term cure is inadmissible outside of surgery, if we seek to be literally correct); and, when this end can not be attained, we owe it to ourselves and our patients to mitigate suffering, or retard the progress of disease to the utmost extent within our power. Happily, there are some who act on this doctrine; and by their la bors we gain, from year to year, new knowledge of the sub ject, better appreciation of what needs to be done, and suggestions which are already yielding more satisfactory results in cephalalgic therapeusis.

Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, Vol. 12: May, 1879; Vol. VIII, New Series Disregarding the position of the head. At present, it is generally advised that this should be the plan adopted in all cases of forceps delivery, whether the head be high or low. Drs. Barnes and Harris strongly contend, let us do what we will, and attempt as we may to pass the blades in rotation to the child's head, they find their way to the sides of the pelvis, and the marks of the fenestra on the head always show that it has been grasped by the brow and sides of the occiput; hence, it is considered to be an unnecessary complexity and embarrassmant to endeavor to vary the position of the blades in each case - a need less procedure which renders more difficult an operation that should be simplified as much as possible. The pre cise position of the head should be determined - not that it is required specially in the introduction of the blades, but that we may fully understand its progress. Rotation of the head within the blades will take place as it descends if a proper instrument is used - one which will not reduce the cranial diameters by actual compres sion. Such an instrument is found in the pattern of Simp son. His forceps are three and one-half inches at the widest part between the blades after being closed, and one inch and an eighth at their extremities. At present, we have two varieties of forceps in general use. Simp son's represents one type, which is designed to act as a tractor, and is applied to the sides Of the pelvis in all cases. Hodge's forceps is one of the most extreme of the other class. It is a powerful compressor, consequently is adjusted to the biparietal diameter of the head.
