At 6 P.M., November 13th, the pains of labor commenced.

Three hours later she was having great dyspnea with each pain.

This soon assumed a fatal aspect and the midwife attempted to resuscitate the patient by artificial respiration, but failed in her efforts, and then she turned her attention to the fetuses, and, one by one, she extracted them in the short space of five minutes; the last one was born twelve minutes after the mother's death.

They all lived (the first two being females), and they weighed from 4 1/4 to 6 1/2 pounds.
Considerable attention has been directed to the advisability of accelerated and forced labor in the dying, in order that the child may be saved.

Belluzzi has presented several papers on this subject.
Csurgay of Budapest mentions saving the child by forced labor in the death agonies of the mother.
