If tho vulva is dilated by the fingers, and the perinaeum depress... more »ed, the two blades are easily introduced. The introduction of the forceps is most simple and readily performed, and has never been productive of harm to mother or child. In difficult cases, M. Bernard has been able to operate without assistance, and sometimes even without the knowledge of the patient.
