چکیده
some interest to this Society, and I have to thank the Senior Physicians of the Royal Maternity Hospital for their kind permission to bring it before you this evening. By habitual abortion or miscarriage I mean, of course, an obstetrical history consisting of an almost uninterrupted series of abortions, miscarriages and very premature labours, but it is interesting to note that in nine of the nineteen cases to be described this series of abnormal pregnancies was initiated by a full-time, often instrumental labour, preceded in its turn by an apparently normal pregnancy. The tragedy of habitual abortion is not only a source of much individual discomfort and unhappiness, but also a problem of real social and economic importance, and it may therefore be justifiable to consider so small a number as nineteen cases, if their analysis throws any light on the two questions which at once present themselves: (i) What is the cause of habitual abortion? (2) How can it be prevented ? I suppose the correct answer to the first question would lead inevitably to the solution of the second. Possible Etiology. A routine systematic examination revealed the fact that two of the nineteen patients were suffering from both toxaemia of pregnancy and chronic infection of the cervix, three from cervicitis alone and one from toxaemia complicated by pyelitis : two others had severe valvular disease of the heart. As far as their general condition was concerned
