It proceeded regularly, but slowly, throughout the day of Thursday ; towards evening. 305 the membranes broke ; the pains afterwards became stronger and more frequent ; but under great rigidity of all the soft parts. At this time, and for some hours thenceforward, the general appearances pro- mised a happy termination. But this favourable prospect was, by and bye, over-shadowed by the unexpected intervention of a convulsive paroxysm between three and four in the morning. The lady had hitherto b...een in excellent spirits, laughing and joking with her friends; when, just before the at- tack, she quaintly exclaimed, " bless me, the room is studded with diamonds," and instantly, her whole frame became violently convulsed. As soon as the necessary means could be procured, her attendant took away a quantity of blood from the arm, and sent to request my presence. I found this lady collected, and capable of answering my questions rationally ; she complained of some unpleasant feel- ings in the head, yet not amounting to absolute pain; her pulse had undergone little alteration ; the os uteri was opened to the size of a crown-piece, but was rigid and thick, with the head just entering the pelvis, pressing upon it; and the pains were return- ing at short intervals.
