Mostauthorities have, however, been shy of it on account ofthe dangers above referred to. The great increase of ourknowledge, of late years, in regard to the danger of theextension of endometritis to the tubes and ovaries has, Ithink, given the final death-blow to stem pessaries. Ishall therefore not recommend their use. The use of vaginal pessaries in anterior displacementsis a much disputed subject. Graily Hewitt • andThomas are enthusiastic as to their value, whileEmmet, Schroede, Winckel, Hart and Barbour, Goodell,and others, consider them of no use. As there is aninfinite variety of opinions on this subject, and an in-finite variety of pessaries in use, we shall speak hereonly of the most useful forms, and the reader is referred.
