THE RATIONAL TREATMENT OF CERTAIN PUERPERAL DISORDERS. IT is related of an ambitions but pretentious lawyer that during his first argument before the Supreme Bench of the United States, it became necessary for the Chief Justice to interrupt him with the suggestion that “This court may be presumed to know something about law!” The admonition of the eminent jurist is not unheeded. I assume that he who takes the time and the trouble to read or to listen to these words is tolerably familiar with the present teachings of the science of bacteriology, the present state of development of the germ-theory.
