Shortly after, the placenta was expelled, and she proceeded on her journey, carrying the child in her arms.

At 5.50 the physician saw the woman in bed, looking well and free from pain, but complaining of being cold.

The child, which was her first, was healthy, well nourished, and normal, with the exception of a slight ecchymosis of the parietal bone on the left side.

The funis was lacerated transversely four inches from the umbilicus.

Both mother and child progressed favorably.
