could not share in the
process of involution. As, however, the uterus undergoes perfect
involution, it is restored to its original condition before the onset
of the disease which rendered hysteropexy necessary."

The coexistence of an extensive tumor of the uterus with pregnancy does
not necessarily mean that the product of conception will be blighted.
Brochin speaks of a case in which pregnancy was complicated with
fibroma of the uterus, the accouchement being natural at term. Byrne
mentions a case of pregnancy complicated with a large uterine fibroid.
Delivery was effected at full term, and although there was considerable
hemorrhage the mother recovered. Ingleby describes a case of fibrous
tumor of the uterus terminating fatally, but not until three weeks
after delivery. Lusk mentions a case of pregnancy with fibrocystic
tumor of the uterus occluding the cervix. At the appearance of symptoms
of eclampsia version was performed and delivery effected, followed by
postpartum hemorrhage. The mother died from peritonitis and collapse,
but the stillborn child was resuscitated. Roberts reports a case of
pregnancy associated with a large fibrocellular polypus of the uterus.
A living child was delivered at the seventh month, ecrasement was
performed, and the mother recovered.

Von Quast speaks of a fibromyoma removed five days after labor. Gervis
reports the removal of a large polypus of the uterus on the fifth day
after confinement. Davis describes the spontaneous expulsion of a large
polypus two days after the delivery of a fine, healthy, male child.
Deason mentions a case of anomalous tumor of the uterus during
pregnancy which was expelled after the birth of the child; and Daly
also speaks of a tumor expelled from the uterus after delivery. Cathell
speaks of a case of pregnancy complicated with both uterine fibroids
and measles. Other cases of a similar nature to the foregoing are too
numerous to mention. Figure 13, taken from Spiegelberg, shows a large
fibroid blocking the pelvis of a pregnant woman.

There are several peculiar accidents and anomalies not previously
mentioned which deserve a place here, viz., those of the membranes
surrounding the fetus. Brown speaks of protrusion of the membranes from
the vulva several weeks before confinement. Davies relates an instance
in which there was a copious watery discharge during pregnancy not
followed by labor. There is a case mentioned in which an accident and
an inopport
