are saved, which would not have been, had no ante-natal care been bestowed on the pregnant mother. Assuredly this is of the greatest importance, not only personally for the patient and her child but also socially for the country, which is being faced at present with a declining birth-rate, and thus everything possible should be done to aid the pregnant woman and her unborn child. This has not only been recognised by the medical profession but also by the general public, who are becoming educated in regard to the great importance of antenatal care. This is well shown by the ever-increasing attendances?all of their own free will?of expectant mothers at the ante-natal clinics throughout the country. In the earliest days of the ante-natal clinic the chief points? and often the only points for consideration?were firstly, the testing of the urine for albumin, secondly, the question of any contraction of the pelvis, and thirdly, the presentation of the foetus. At the present time these three points are, of course still of supreme importance, but there are many other investigations, which are also of importance, and manipulations, which can be carried out in the clinic and will assuredly help the mother by affording her an easier labour and the child by ensuring it a better chance of surviving the birth and the early weeks of life. It is principally with regard to these newer aspects of ante-natal work that I bring this paper before you this evening, but in addition I would like to call attention
