The physician will direct that certain additional articles be provided
according to his individual taste and custom. These will include an [63]
antiseptic and ergot; any other requisite found necessary can be sent for,
or the physician can supply it, as he invariably has in his bag whatever
may be required in complicated cases or in an emergency. All the items
enumerated in the above list are absolutely essential, they may not all be
used but it would not be safe to undertake a confinement without providing
the essential requisites. Many maternity outfits are prepared ready for use
and can be obtained at the larger drug stores, costing from $10 to $25. The
articles in the above list can be bought for about $6, not including those
articles which the patient is assumed to have. The following are samples of
the ready-to-purchase outfits:
