Table of Contents
THE Case of Child-bearing Women is very lamentable, in the Country especially, by Reason of the Ignorance and Unskilfulness of Midwives; for by their Negligence and perverse Management, many Mothers and Children are destroyed, to the great Misfortune of particular Families, as well as of the Publick, at a Time when it suffers by the Loss of useful Hands, from too many other Causes. It were therefore to be wished, that all Midwives were so far appris’d of their Duty, as to be able to distinguish between Cases within their Abilities, and such Difficulties as may occasion the Loss of the Mother, or Child, or both, for Want of necessary Assistance.
They who intend to practice Midwifry in
