Abstract

Owen C. Mackness. — The Use of Quinine as a Substitute for Ergot, in Midwiffery .— (Edinburgh med. Journ., May 1898, p. 617). — Quinine instead of ergotine in obstetrics.
The author is outraged by the too frequent and harmful use of ergotine for the mother and the fetus, while the more beneficial effect of quinine on uterine contractions is not yet popular enough among doctors, why he cites his observations on quinine.
