There is, we concede, a tendency in the changes which take place during pregnancy and parturition to expose the system to such accidents. But this tendency can be counteracted by care, and by the avoidance of certain notorious and familiar infractions of the laws of health. It is usually not until she gets up and commences to go about the house, that the woman feels any pain referable to a displaced womb. Very frequently the origin of it is leaving the bed too soon, or attempting to do some work, too much for her strength, shortly after a premature birth or a confinement. Not only should a woman keep her bed, as a rule, for nineteen days after every abortion and every confinement, but for weeks after she commences to move about she should avoid any severe muscular exertion, especially lifting, long walks, straining, or working on the sewing-machine. Straining at stool is one of the commonest causes. Many women have a tendency to constipation for weeks or months after childbirth. They are aware that it is unfavorable to health, and they seek to aid nature by violent muscular effort. They cannot possibly do a more unwise act. Necessarily the efforts they make press the womb forcibly down, and its ligaments being relaxed, it assumes either suddenly on some one well-remembered occasion, or gradually after a succession of efforts, some unnatural position. The same reasoning applies to relieving the bladder, which is connected in some persons with undue effort. Constipation, if present, must, and almost always can, be relieved by a judicious diet, and the moderate use of injections. These simple methods are much to be preferred to purgative medicines, which are rarely satisfactory if they are continued for much time. When anything more is needed, we recommend a glass of some laxative mineral water, which should be taken before breakfast. For the difficulty with the bladder we mentioned, diet is also efficacious. It is familiarly known that several popular articles of food have a decided action in stimulating the kidneys: for instance, asparagus and water-melon. Such articles should be freely partaken, and their effect can be increased by some vegetable infusion, taken warm,--as juniper-tea or broom-tea. The application to the parts of a cloth wrung out in water as hot as it can conveniently be borne, is also a most excellent assistant to nature. Similar strains on the muscles of the abdomen are consequent on violent coughing and vomiting. Therefore these should be alleviated, as they always can be, by some anodyne taken internally. Any medical man is familiar with many such preparations, so that it seems unnecessary to give any formula, particularly as it would have to be altered, more or less, to suit any given case.
