astounded at the loss of mothers at this critical time that

What did they find? That nine out of every ten of these mothers died because there was no proper cure taken of them during the months before the child was born-

Now who is to blame for this?

The natural idea would be that the doctor is to blame because he should be so careful in looking after expect- ant mothers.

Now what would have prevented most of these deaths?

The cooperation of the mother and the doctor during the months pre- vious to the birth.

ft would mean that the expectant mother should report to the doctor at the earliest possible moment and place herself under his care. This then places full responsibility on him. He will direct her to report at certain intervals for examination, and thus anything that might be a source of danger can be detected. The urine is examined, the blood pressure, the condition of the heart, and the mother's entire physical con- dltlon carefully watched. Because it is during these months that many things can be done which cannot be handled safely at. the last moment. However it is just as well to be quite frank about this matter, because there is no question but that many are of the opinion that these frequent visits to the doctor for examination are all just a part. scheme or plan on the doctor's part to magnify the im- portance of the coming event, and charge accordingly.

For this very reason therefore some doctors do not insist upon these visits and examinations, as they do not want the patients to feel that they are too anxious about the outcome, or perhaps anxious to enlarge their bill for services.

But when we see the above figures and realize that nine out of ten could have been saved by this care previous to the birth of the child, it does seem that an actual crime is being committed by doctors and mothers in not having routine exam- ination in all cases.
