Book excerpt: Excerpt from Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 15: April, 1877 A very correct idea of the operation is conveyed by the wood-cut, with the stem seen secured in position. The stem, as will be seen, is firmly and securely fixed in the cervix, and. Partakes of every movement of the uterus, and hence incapa ble of the independent movements and friction of the ordinary bulb stem such as now generally used. When the galvanic stem is not particularly desired, the instrument may be made entirely of copper - one plate instead of two being used, thus making it just half the bulk and weight. The instrument may be worn, for an indefinite time, without risk of damage or inconvenience to the patient. While using them I direct that, after a few days from the introduction, no check be put upon exercise, either on foot or horseback. The same precautions as to dress are applicable here as in the use of vaginal pessaries, that the uterus may not be forced upon the floor of the pelvis by the pressure of tight clothes or cor sets, and subje'cted to friction and concussions. The vaginal douche, of hot water, should be daily used while the pessary is worn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
