The mother and the female child did well.

Purcell reports death in a pregnant woman from contused wound of the vulva.

Morland relates an instance of a woman in the fifth month of her second pregnancy, who fell on the roof of a woodshed by slipping from one of the steps by which she ascended to the roof, in the act of hanging out some clothes to dry.

She suffered a wound on the internal surface of the left nympha 1 1/2 inch long and 1/2 inch deep.

She had lost about three quarts of blood, and had applied ashes to the vagina to stop the bleeding.
