Puerperal Convulsions.Many times there occur derangements of vision and of hearing, and often pain in the abdomen. Just before a fit the pain in the head becomes aggravated and continuous, and the patient not infrequently becomes quite blind. The convulsion itself throws the body into the most violent contortions, an extremely painful spectacle for the friends. After its subsidence-it may last from two to ten minutes in all-the patient remains for a time stupid, or may even fail to regain her consciousness before death. If these convulsions occur with great frequency before delivery, and if the patient's health is evidently impaired, it may become necessary for the physician to induce premature labor to save the life of the mother. If they occur just subsequent to delivery, they need rarely occasion anxiety for the immediate future. In every instance there may be no interference except by professional hands, for most of the agents used - such as chloroform and chloral-may not be entrusted to irresponsible hands.
