For convenience, let us characterize that curveNvhicli rests in the posterior vaginal cul-de-sac as the uterine curve,and that which occupies the part of the vagina adjacent to the pubisthe pubic curve. The acuteness and length of the uterine curvedetermine the height to which the pessary will lift the uterus. Thelonger and more acute the curve, the higher the uterus will be lifted,and vice versa. The smaller curve of the Emmet modification willanswer the average indication
