Gynecological Hints. In the treatment of infection following abortion or delivery at term, when putrid material remains in the uterine cavity, this should first be thoroughly removed with the finger, blunt curette or forceps. Then an intrauterine douche of a weak antiseptic solution should be given, to be followed by another of sterile saline solution. Tincture of iodine, one ounce to two quarts of sterile water, is one of the best antiseptics to use in the uterus. Repeated intrauterine douches or medication of any kind is injurious to patients suffering from puerperal sepsis.-Waldo. A Premonitory Sign of Eclampsia. Cammaert found, in nine cases, paraesthesia of the legs, pruritus and drawing pains in the legs and in the abdomen, when there was albuminuria and eclampsia, these symptoms not being present in normally pregnant women. From this observation the author suggests that patients having these symptoms should be closely scrutinized for the purpose of determining whether such symptoms are premonitory of eclampsia, especially when albuminuria is absent.-Abstr.
