. The diagnosis, pathology and treatment of diseases of women including the diagnosis of pregnancy. r six weeks, and the cure has been completedby means of an instrument so placed in the vagina as to preventthe fundus again descending backwards. I believe that to is due the merit of first using an instrument capable ofapplying pressure as above indicated. His instrument is shaped FLEXIONS AND VERSIONS OF THE UTERUS. 521 Fig. 74.* like a horseshoe, and is composed of a bar of metal bent into therequired shape. Other modifications are described bj him in hiswork, all acting, however, pretty much in the same way. Thus inone form the instrument is a closedring, almost of a quadrilateral shape;in another it is more like a horse-shoe, the ring being closed. Othermodifications of this principle oftreatment are employed. Thus applies pressure in thesame position from without the va-gina, the horseshoe shaped instru-ment being continued below by astem to which are fixed externally to the vagina four tapes, bymeans of which it is maintained in situ.
