Dr. M’Kinlay reviews the conditions affecting puerperal mortality and assesses the various factors, social and medical, which may influence the mortality rate. A tabulated study shows the inefficiency of comparative statistics even in such a small area as the British Isles. The influence of operative procedures, forceps, ccsarean and abortion on the mortality rate is clearly shown. The chapter by Dr. M’Intyre on maternal morbidity and subsequent disablement reveals that only the surface has been scratched so far in a consideration of this problem, fully as important as mortality. When we can answer the question proposed, “What has it cost the mother in health to produce the family she has when in obstetric practice. that family is complete 1’ ’ we will be able to assess our results Pyre& in the puerperium is no real measure of maternal morbidity. Part two, (‘Prevention,” deals with antenatal care as we are beginning to realize it and with intranatal care, or management of labor, which is undoubtedly the crux of the whole problem of mortality so far as the three largest causes of death in maternity are concerned. in various WLL~S with the home and bosPart three, “ Services, ” deals at length pita1 practice of obstetrics, in which certain advantages of home or domiciliary obstetrics are stressed. The author’s rather revolut.ionary ideas on construction of maternity hospitals and hospital staff problems are fully presented. The midwife situation in England is discussed. Her training, supervision and importance in English obstetrics is perhaps underestimated in this country. The chapter on obstetric education of the physician forms no less a demand for the ideal curriculum than our own teachers have long demanded. Under organization of a rmtional maternity service the author touches upon another subject with which we are little familiar, although with our rapid sociopolitical changes the health insurance idea may be in prartice before we realize it.
